So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.
Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?
Thanks debate-me-bro so glad to have you on my side. I can’t wait for the glorius revolution where we all look at the guns on our mantles and jack off to them.
Lmao! Too much of a clown for me to even satirize you.
I clearly went too far because I was satirizing your mischaracterization of other people’s arguments that you really didn’t address but said you did (powerful obama giving a medal to obama meme energy).
I’m obviously more of a syndicalist. Buying “a” gun won’t do anything meaningful in and of itself. We need some people to buy a lot of guns and ammo. Not everybody needs to buy a gun, there’s more guns than people here as it is. The gun threshold, if anything has already been reached. If it gets to the guns mattering we’ve already lost a thousand battles.
We need lots of people thinking about each other. We need people thinking about things like food, water, waste, etc. Like the US government has never caved because somebody shot a bullet at them. They cave because airports get shutdown, because trash stops being collected. The guns help if it goes further, but the step before the guns is the determinate on whether the guns will work or not.
Like a bunch of military drones come through your door you won’t even have the opportunity to kill a single fascist. You’re just dead, killed by a guy essentially playing a video game. A missile is the same thing. There’s no heroic fantasy where just owning a gun lets people takedown a fascist.
My main real issue is the one size fits all prescription. “Buy a gun” is just so overly simplistic and dumb and we more than likely have enough.
Whose arguments did I mischaracterize in the initial comment I made? The National Guard’s? What a load of horseshit, you came out of the gate attacking me for no reason.
What does it matter if one person buys 10 guns to give to 10 people, or if 10 people buy their own guns? The end result is the same. You’re just putting ideological hangups before pragmatism.
None of which is precluded by buying a gun.
Neither of these is correct. For example, the US government caved when the NVA shot a bunch of bullets at them. They also have the capability of suppressing strikes at gunpoint, if it comes to that. Just as they did the student demonstrators at Kent State. Strikes can be effective, but if you have no capability to fight back, then it’s not likely to be enough.
Of course. I never disputed that. But they aren’t sending drones or launching missiles, they’re sending people.
That’s just obviously false. Are fascists impervious to bullets now? Is Charlie Kirk still alive, then?
You’re clearly just reiterating your belief in gun ownership and not addressing anything. “Buying a gun” is the tankie version of libs saying “go vote”. Solves nothing, they say it will fix everything. Might help in a very niche scenario that nobody disputes but is so ridiculously overprescribed as to be a useless platitude.
If you’re actively hunting notable fascists that’s totally different than just “buying a gun”. That is a very specific type of gun use and like the kirk shooting was somewhat tragic because the kid that shot him will be going to prison. He bartered a lot more than a few bucks for that outcome.
If like a couple dozen people started doing that the fascist movement would likely lose most its notable members in a year.
Where did I say that it would “fix everything?” Weren’t you just complaining about “mischaracterizing arguments” (which I never did)?
Again, you’re just looking for reasons to attack me for no reason. No idea what crawled up your ass but it has nothing to do with anything I’ve actually said.
You said the magic platitude. If somebody put “go vote” at the bottom of the kent state shooting I would also have issues.
So I’m not allowed to tell anyone to do anything if that one thing doesn’t magically fix all the problems in the world?
If its a stupid platitude and you’re writing an otherwise good post about kent state, yes.
Let things be complex. You don’t need to prescribe gun ownership after fucking kent state. You don’t need to tell people to go vote, either. Its so fucking dumb.
