I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    Does she need to have your back? Was she even part of the dialogue until you whatabouted her into the conversation? She’s a shitty person and a fucking cop who supports bad historical policies that benefit the rich. But I can safely say that she wouldn’t invade a sovereign nation for her own personal gain. She doesn’t have a long history of fucking children and getting away with it. She wouldn’t tank the entire economy, remove people’s right to marry or get health care or endorse a reckless anti-vaxxer whose efforts will be felt for decades (but only by the survivors of outbreaks of what should be long extinct diseases). She would do shitty things to good people. She wouldn’t fix the system. But she wouldn’t be doing gestures around all of this. And maybe you can’t respect the idea of harm reduction. Maybe you don’t know a lot of people hanging on in the fringes or maybe you’ve crossed over it and don’t give a fuck about others anymore. But I still do. I still want my friends to live. I still want a future for the children of today.

      you whatabouted her

      I corrected asafum’s miscalculation. Judging by the downvotes and replies, it is whataboutism with 70% of the population instead of taking down rulers.

      Fixing the system is what all of us need to do together. 70% of the population don’t want to fix the system from the top.

      The only future for our friends and children is to take the rulers down. Right now, 70% of the population don’t want a future.

          Constitutionally, the militia is the whole body of the people, and We The People are most definitely armed.

          You are a member of an armed militia.

            Are you forgetting that it goes “a well-ordered militia…”

            A bunch of scattered people with their own firearms is not the same thing as a well-ordered militia. Winning wars requires organization as much as it requires logistics and personnel.

            The left is so rife with infighting that they’ll never unite enough to organize militarily behind a common cause. Can you imagine a bunch of wannabe anarchists trying to form a chain of command? It almost seems worthy of a comic.

            And the armed right actively support this fascist regime, so they won’t be much help either.

            Yeah, some militia. Really instills confidence and makes one want to go fight and die beside one’s comrades /s

              “Regulated”, not “ordered”, but I understand your point.

              The Left and the Right both celebrate Luigi. Our differences are not nearly as significant as our commonalities.

                Eh, close enough but thanks for the correction.

                Luigi was a lone wolf. How many lone wolves would it take to dismantle the military-industrial complex and the police state?

                Cause that’s what it would take to topple the current structures of power. And then the real work begins of building something new. How would right and left agree on what kind of system replaces this one?

                Not replacing it with anything isn’t an option, unless you want the world to be run by crime syndicates. Someone needs to keep the underbelly controlled, or else the underbelly will keep you controlled.

                Contrary to what most americans would like to believe the problem isn’t so simple that throwing guns at it will solve everything. It’s never that simple.

                  Luigi was a lone wolf.

                  He’s not celebrated because he’s a lone wolf. He’s celebrated (by both the left and the right) because he struck the oligarchy. Strip out that cancer, and the underlying system is fairly manageable and responsive.

            Have you liberated any deathcamps, or are you just gonna be smug about everyone else who hasn’t?

            Cause it seems like that would take an armed militia, and since you profess to be a member of one, that really raises the question why you haven’t liberated any deathcamps.

              A deathcamp takes at the least a ten comrades to raid 1. We need lookouts, scouts, radio, medics, infiltration, extraction, and defense. Solitary I can’t do anything unless 9 of you become brave enough.

              Ideally if 25% of the population gets together, we can take all of them down simultaneously.

              The second answer to to your question is blatant if you comprehend the mission to recruit above.

                I thought you said you’re a black panther. Are you telling me there’s less than ten of you?

                We can all say “Well I would take action, but everyone else is being a coward so I don’t have enough comrades.” So why are you being smug about other people not doing enough, when you haven’t done anything yet either and you even claim to already be a member of an armed group?

                Like, don’t wait til you recruit 10 million people. Set the example with one successful operation, it’ll make headlines and then people will join your movement. Nobody’s gonna join some wannabe upstart without a plan, there’s already plenty of those…

                  My locality is more remote than what each of these facilities’s cities populate. I am not afraid to relocate inorder to liberate the victims of US fascism. The question if <25% of you are.

                  Set the example with one successful operation, it’ll make headlines and then people will join your movement.

                  We made 4.

                  there’s already plenty of those…

                  Which are?

                    I see someone else telling you to set the example of what you preach, which you deflected by linking to other conflicts and uprisings in different countries which you certainly had nothing to do with.
