When they shoot us we need to shoot back
I thought self-defence was legal in the US
Not against the powerful.
No, only if you're white.
No, only if you are white, rich, and politically powerful.
self defense isn't violence mate
Comments like this are the whole reason I’m here. Got banned from Reddit for talking self-defense against armed people trying to rip your family apart.
I’d like to think realistic discussion is safer here.
People on the side of the cops will learn soon they are on the wrong side of polite society, and the wrong side of history.
Historically hasn't mattered.
Are you saying it doesn't matter if the majority of people are against a fascist regime? In many countries that probably would be true, but the US is massive and spread out with millions of guns and many state agencies that might not be as sympathetic to these sorts of crackdowns or would oppose a militant escalation against protests. It's not just the right who have guns also, nearly all political tendencies recognize the need to be armed. An anti-government insurgency would look much different here than what we've seen in the past.
It hasnt mattered yet. I still see people serving cops. Hell, i saw a wal mart wiyh special cop only parking last year.
Yeah creating delusions is way better than taking responsibility for your role in society.
It certainly feels nicer. I think that's how this works.
