You mean to tell me, that in America. Where you can legally acquire, a genuine, US Army certified Rocket-Propelled Grenade from a gun show in Vegas for cash… you guys can’t think of what to actually do?
The vast majority of the people who would actually fight on the right side of history have been thoroughly pacified by the rhetoric that using a weapon would be unacceptably barbaric, and that if you can’t make the change you want with words, you’re just not finding the right words. We’ll be holding quippy signs and chanting about justice even as the country literally crumbles around us.
a lot of people think it’ll only take a few hungry days for an uprising, but i don’t think they realize that’s exactly the plan. this is actually scary. the lack of fifth column pushback, the bending-over from major universities… these are all really clear indicators that what’s going on right now isn’t just some old, crazy dude spouting shit.
That’s what’s insane to me too. I thought for sure some general staff level officer, someone in the admiralty, sone old hands from the alphabet agencies, or some combination thereof would be like “he’s going to fucking kill us all. It’s time to color outside the lines”.
And yes, I know I’m basically saying that I’m holding out for a coup. But let’s be real: I’d trust the competence and compassion of any one of those groups an order of magnitude more than the people actually running the show at this point.
i’m sorry, but i can’t be funny right now. i usually try to joke about stuff, but here goes. if you are american and you’re NOT currently trying to kill the guy who just tried to declare himself king of your democracy, then i just don’t know what else to say to you.
I stand on my own and fire a weapon is pretty useless. To actually succeed, I need a lot more people on my side. Enough that we could probably impeach and remove those responsible for this mess.
The people who have argued hardest for the ability to buy things like that and actually do it and have hoarded the weapons already are the racists
So if we try an unorganized attack of any kind, we give the insane motherfuckers who want Red Dawn to happen a reason to start unloading. I’ve personally seen some of what these crazies have stockpiled, that is not a can you want to open
We’re basically fucked on using weapons until those guys are hurting enough to be on our side, which might be too late to matter, anyway
Pretty key word there. Also: US military is significantly bigger than the next few in line combined, another good reason a revolution isn’t simple. Oh, and we’re fuckin huge with large spaces of nothing, which is another problem
And if they kill all the workers and soldiers who will be left to fight their wars and make their goods?
The large chunk of people who actively support the facism & their offspring
Seem to have lots of excuses though. To each their own I suppose. My country will stand up with less. I’ll be one of those doing it should it come to pass.

Zoinks Scoob, I think I’m getting a clue.

Do you think the same thing for those living in China or Russia? What about those in Turkey or Hungary?
yup, exactly the same thing. are you surprised? you asked that question like you’d be surprised i’d say yes.
No, just verifying some things. Are you surprised? You asked that question like you would be surprised I’d say no.

True, but it doesn’t take much, congress might be more inclined to step in with some percussive maintenance.
Also, monkey see, monkey do. You know?
When you stand on your own you don’t accomplish much beyond your own death. That’s not a worthwhile move for me.
Jesus was a martyr, so was my favourite Mario Brother.

Ukrainians stood up to what was thought to be the second strongest military in the world at the time, with little more than styrofoam and gasoline.
And if they kill all the workers and soldiers who will be left to fight their wars and make their goods?

Ok. Well I guess we will see you in Canada when they press you into service.
That was standing against an outside invader. Americans don’t have the same luxury.
We can all see it’s Russia, if that helps.
