It's disappointing and annoying that the US National Park Service has become a meme hero for "resisting" Donald Trump.

Remember when "resisting" meant something more than posting failed snarky tweets and making a new Twitter page when you get banned? Ooh, what rebellious badasses you are, making a new Twitter account.

Admittedly, it's the reaction of retards on the internet who turned this into a big deal and not the park rangers themselves.

Maybe instead of just popping off you can spend some time on the Alt National Park Service Facebook page. Run by rangers who are pissed and sharing the inside info in to how FUCKED our public lands are under this administration.

Believe it or not, some of us actually care about that kind of thing and APPRECIATE the 'rogue rangers' for stepping up to give a couple million of us the inside story.

Maybe instead of just popping off at me you can spend some time on where I directed you to. Y'know, the alt Twitter page where they post drawings calling themselves "badasslands" and talking about the very real budget cuts, but thinking that snide little comments are "resistance."

Or maybe you won't do that but instead decide to whine and bitch at me about it. They're not "rogue rangers." Being a rogue doesn't mean posting stupid shit to social media about how yo're resisting the president.

@BlueMetalChick: SO cute how you talk about what resisting meant in the 'good 'ol days." When was that sweetheart? A couple of years ago when you resisted the high school principal telling the kids to not go off campus for lunch?

Go visit a fucking national park and walk in the dirt for a while, OK? Then you come back and tell me what I know.

BTW...I've had numerous contacts with this organization regarding some specific strategies. You saw an opportunity to mouth off about something you clearly don't care about. Like I said, cute.

@Ynotisay: No, I'd say it was back when I was a war refugee living in Yemen trying to get myself the right to go to school as a female, or the right not to get hanged and disemboweled for walking in public without a male chaperone. But you wouldn't know about that, would you? Because resistance to you is posting things on Twitter and talking about how much better you are than everyone else. I was a 9 year old girl and I had more balls than you'll ever hope to.

That's not cute. What's cute is how #triggered you are that you're getting your budget cut to rake up some leaves and pick up bear shit in a plastic bag. As if that's a real job.

BTW...you haven't had numerous contacts with jack shit or any organization regarding any specific strategies since the "strategies" are posting drawings on social media. You saw an opportunity to mouth off at someone not knowing your ass from a hole in the ground. Like I said, cute.

@BlueMetalChick: I have ZERO interest in Twitter. I have ZERO interest in people spewing online and thinking it matters. I have a WHOLE lot of interest in smart, strategic, necessary resistance.

And while you wouldn't know this, I don't make shit up. It's unnecessary.

Like I said, get outside and go spend some time in a National Park or Forest. Maybe you'll learn to give a fuck.

@Ynotisay: If you have zero interest in Twitter or people spewing online and thinking in matters, and you have a lot of interest in smart, strategic, necessary resistance, then WHY are you defending the US National Park Service when they're doing those things you say you have zero interest in, and NOT doing that thing you say you have a lot of interest in? They're on Twitter, which you say you're not interested in, spewing online and thinking it matters, which you say you're not interested in. They are not taking part in any form of smart, strategic, or necessary resistance, which you are interested in. So shouldn't you be completely ignoring the park rangers?

This, from a man who only gives a fuck when it's convenient in an online forum? Telling others to learn how to give a fuck? I know how to do this. You, however, do not. Take part in an actual form of resistance someday. Maybe you'll learn to give a fuck.

And no, it doesn't need to be physical violence. You yanks are lucky. You have it good, you can civilly resist. In my homeland, we had no such concept.

@BlueMetalChick: Hear about the upcoming march in D.C.? Guess not.

And did you just say "yanks?" Are you telling me you're not even an American? And you're worried about OUR national park system? Wow. Gutsy.

I'm done on this one. Good luck to you. (BTW...glad you got out of a bad scene).

@Ynotisay: I live in America but was not born here. I have been here for some time but plan on moving again soon. Traveling is...kind of part of the whole ethnic thing, y'know? I was seeking asylum as a war refugee in Australia but could not stay, but they told me I could come to America or Canada and find a home.

A march as least is better than tweeting. Maybe the park rangers should take example and march too.
