  • Or Boston, that place is absolutely littered with arms from right across the border in NH. I can pretty much guarantee that they'd face pissed off locals with guns really quick.

  • I have, but it's because I'm trans and I lived in a bad place for trans people.

  • NH's got a lot of guns, might be worth having them on your side. Or is it really just an island of irredeemable assholes?

  • Become a goth girl. In my experience, that's the way to do it.

  • As someone who's been diagnosed with ASPD (which is colloquially known as sociopathy), it just means I've got a dysfunction in the part of my brain that automatically empathizes with others. When I'm put under a lot of stress that part of me can come out, because it's my default wiring, so to speak, but the vast majority of the time I'm able to manually empathize with other people and think it through rather than relying on intuition.

    But yeah, the point I wanted to make is that just because someone's a 'sociopath' it doesn't mean that they're irredeemably broken.

  • Cops in the US are a whole different breed of fucked up

  • So then you get to deal with armed fascist thugs in addition to whatever problem you were trying to solve by calling the cops. And guess what, if a fascist attacks you and you call the cops, you're likely calling their buddies, who won't be happy with you. At least, in my experience in the US.

  • Trans person here who's been attacked by a neo-Nazi - I really, really wish I had my gun at the time. Because, without it I was in a situation where I either had to let him kill me (not a good option) or pull a knife on him and at least try to seem crazy enough that he knew he'd be badly hurt too. Luckily that worked for me. If I'd had my gun, I could have at least drawn on him and told him that he was going to leave me be or die. My chances of survival would likely have been higher had I had my gun on me at the time.

  • This, why would a given group of protestors all open carry? I'd expect a mass of conceal-carried weapons, though.

  • You can get a IIIA vest from a Chinese factory for about $50. If you're worried about the quality, just buy two and shoot one!

  • More like "Live, Freeze, then Die"

  • Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - my body has a bad recipe for collagen so all my tissue is too soft, I get injured very easily and I had arthritis before 30.

  • Obama personally promised me that he'd close Guantanamo, when I was a kid at one of his campaign rallies. He straight-up lied to me and didn't close Gitmo.

  • It makes a lot more sense to carry weapons if you live in the US. There's a lot of crazy-ass fascists who will attack you without provocation. Hell, I had a neo-Nazi try to kill me with a tire iron when I was early in transition.

    I'm happy you're from a place where carrying weapons is alien or scary to you. But when you live in a police state and the police are more likely to victimize you than help, you have to take matters into your own hands (or your community's hands). Idk, I hope this helps you empathize a bit better with why some people like having weapons.

  • Now, for legal purposes, let me say I'm not asking for or instructing anyone to do this. But at this point, I think Musk needs a visit from a Luigi-type stochastic terrorist. If one was about to kill oneself, and statistically, there'll be people who read this who are, consider taking out Musk before you go. You'll be a martyr and a celebrated hero across the internet. You'll also be giving a massive gift to humankind.

    On a personal level, to anyone reading this: I'm sorry that we're at this spot, it sucks.

  • Hell yeah, another border agent down. It's a tragedy that the person they were trying to arrest also died, though.

  • Hi! I'm one of those people who has sympathy for Luigi because he did it. I think the deaths of CEOs like Thompson, billionaires, etc are necessary to create any sort of systemic change that will alleviate the suffering of the working class. It's not because he's hot like mainstream news seems to think, but because I'm tired of being the punching bag of the rich in this class war that we've all been thrust into, and because Luigi fought back.

    It's also interesting that the news is saying Luigi is hot and that's why people support him, when it's more the other way around and people find him hot because he shot Thompson.

  • He could be a union supporter though - in my experience of doing labor organizing, the younger folks are usually more pro-union, then there's a dead zone of support from the Boomers, and then the really old folks are much more supportive because they grew up when unions were more of an active force.

    If Wallace is down to organize, then I'd pick him and just take the risk that he's got some shitty opinions that I'll have to work through and re-educate him on.

  • It's going to continue to be a problem for moderators, because people genuinely want the death of billionaires and CEOs. Every for-profit platform is going to ban calling for the deaths of CEOs, because the owners of the company don't want that kind of speech around.

    This is why decentralized pseudo-platforms like the Fediverse are so important, so people can make their actual thoughts, feelings and desires known, and speak to each other about it. When Luigi capped Thompson, we all got this amazing moment where our pain hurt and rage were validated through knowing we weren't alone in our desire to kill the ruling class. That's genuinely dangerous to people like Thompson.
