When Americans have said the same about Russians for a decade, who gave you the same response, what did the Americans reply?

you know, if i say one thing and a different american says a different thing that doesn't make us hypocrites, it makes us two different people

Wow, I had no idea, I thought people in the same country were the same person?

Now when we've both shaken off our much pent in sarcasm, what would you say to them?

I think there is a communication issue - the parent is not using sarcasm.

"They" don't exist. There are no Russians who replied to me in any manner when I said "You need to just overthrow your government" because I never said such a thing to anyone. Nothing I said was sarcastic, it was all meant to be taken extremely literally. You're trying to catch me out as a hypocrite but I didn't do what you said I did.

Americans aren't one person. Regardless, this is whataboutism.

It's not, it's supposed to make you come up with your own answers, because sometimes the answer is more obvious to see when you see someone else with the same problem, and pretend you're helping them, instead of helping yourself.

I thought your 2nd Amendment was supposed to prevent that.

Ironically the original intent of the second amendment was closer to "the states should have a lot of people used to using guns so they can raise militias if necessary".

ICE has recruited a lot of those people - you don't see as many weird paramilitary militia groups as you did back in 2020. So I guess it technically worked as intended here. Unfortunately that means more jackboots with "don't tread on me" flags on their unmarked vans.

Yep. The Proud Boys are effectively 100% incorporated into ICE at this point. Less sure about the 3%ers, haven't seen enough reporting on that.
