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.

      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.

                    How the nazis lost WWII:

                    They were flanked by the two biggest global superpowers who had formed an ad hoc alliance specifically to combat the nazi threat.

                    Nazi Germany started from a position of weakness, and its imperial ambitions outpaced its ability to maintain a frontline. It’s a bad analogy from a military strategy standpoint.

                    The US is already firmly established from coast to coast, and has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. It’s not even comparable. Better to ask how the roman empire eventually crumbled.

        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.

                  Examples where <10% of the population took down their rulers, and actually cared for one another, and succeed in tumbling their oppressors?

                  Unless you’re saying taking down a deathcamp is impossible for 3.5% of a population?

                    What exactly do you think is going on in Myanmar? Cause by that description you’re completely detached from reality.

                    Also, those examples have nothing to do with anything you’ve done. You’re still pretending to be brave, without doing shit to back it up.
