    No he won’t - there’s no water on that island, for one thing… The new guy is dead meat, he just doesn’t realize that yet.

    The guy has a stick and is protecting the tree so he is actually doing him a huge favor by allowing him to work for a coconut. Working is a win win here.

    The alternative is the guy gets no coconut and has nothing to do.

    Take stick, beat guy to death, then you have food and water from the coconuts! So you get to live a little longer before dying of dehydration.

      They do great when they cherry pick someone with no media training who is the easiest target they can find, someone so socially inept they thought going on Fox fucking News without any support was a good idea.

      You’d be great at beating up a toddler in a dark alley if you really wanted to, but that wouldn’t make you a good fighter, it would make you a predator.

      Make the arguments yourself if you think they’re so great, what you linked is just bullies ganging up on someone. There aren’t really arguments to be seen at all.

        This is your field marshal you’re talking about.

            These people can’t imagine a world without authoritarian rulers. That’s why they love work so much - they get to be bossed around by little dictators all day and never have to think for themselves. It’s much more comfortable for them.
