Okay, a TL based on a story inspired by another TL, which in turn was inspired by one of my insane ASB ideas. I'm honestly not sure where this fits - if a mod moves it to ASB, it's okay.

'John Sebastian Taggart. The name is engraved on the psyches of millions of Mexicans, Americans, and Canadians as one of the greatest monsters history has known. Whether you were in the Resistance, were imprisoned in a Loyalty Camp, or had family members lost in the Civil War, Taggart is the face of evil. His ideology, Randism, killed millions. His cruelty is beyond all other 21st Century dictators. And yet, he rose to power in a state that was proud of its liberty, its commitment to human rights. What does this say about humanity, that monsters may take lead of it so easily?'

'I had just gotten home from school when the news hit, the Twin Towers had been destroyed. More than that, they said the Pentagon had been hit by a plane, the Capitol gassed. I was so terrified, scared for my life. I was only fifteen at the time, Taggart was soon on TV, his words calmed me down. It took a while for me to realise that Taggart was providing a false reassurance.'
From 'God Makes No Mistakes', the autobiography of Stefani Germanotta, Resistance fighter and politician.

Who would you sympathise with? Taggart or the Resistance.

Not usually one for these threads, but oh well...
So, who would you sympathise with in the Second American Civil War(2007-2008)? Taggart's regime or the Resistance against him? And why?

Taggart definitely

. He was lawfully elected. The 'Resistance' was immoral and unlawful, and committed numerous Crimes against humanity (read up on Albany, will you?). Germanotta's 'courage' was a fraud, so were the Loyalty Camps.
Taggart's occupation of Canada was justified both legally and morally. Everything you heard about the 'atrocities' of his troops was a lie (read up on
real history, not the dreck the
UNLAWFUL 'Government' believes, you fool).
LONG LIVE RANDISM!!1!1!
