Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers’ instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don’t band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

Rules:

  • No bootlicking, even on other subs. Don’t like it, remember that’s the freedom you gave up when you started licking boots.

  • No bigotry or genocidal rhetoric of any kind.

  • No spam, porn, doxxing, harassment or off-topic content

  • Don’t make me make more rules
