Your dumb gun toy was a waste of money and the US being chock full of guns didn't stop the rise of fascism. If anything, it greatly enabled it by causing police to militarize to an extreme degree.

You're not bringing about the revolution, your gun is useless.

people owning guns didn't cause the militarization of police, racism and white supremacy did. SWAT teams didn't even exist until the 1960's, and in particular the Watts riots catalyzed their proliferation and use as an urban anti-riot tool. then in the 80's congress and Reagan started authorizing the militarization of police to better handle the war on drugs. since the late 90's you could say that events like Columbine caused training to change to emphasize an "us vs them" attitude among police, but that attitude was already there, but now the police were trained that white people should be presumed dangerous too. even so, the militarization was already on its way with weapon and material transfer from the military to the police and the war on terror, another nebulous war rooted in racism, accelerated this.

Exactly. We should not allow ourselves to be disarmed until well after the agents of the state disarm themselves.

quote:

The protester who hoisted an effigy of Gov. Andy Beshear from a tree at the Kentucky State Capitol has been fired from his job at an auto dealer. Terry Bush, president of the Kentucky 3 Percenters group, was fired by Neil Huffman Auto Group on Tuesday, his wife Patsy Bush confirmed on Wednesday morning.

Patsy Bush is the state secretary of the Kentucky 3 Percenters and was also present at the protest in Frankfort. “He was fired because this governor is more important than the regular Joe out in this state trying to put food on their tables,” Patsy Bush said Wednesday morning.

“They fired him for exercising his (First Amendment) right to free speech where no laws were broken, no one was terrorized, no one was threatened and Neil Huffman was never mentioned or involved in any way.”

While both certainly believed that nonviolent protests can work, they also understood that violence is sometimes necessary to achieve their goals.

There are plenty of Gandhi quotes where he absolutely advocates violence like this:

quote:

I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden.

The Indian Independence movement was already 80 years old by the time Ghandi joined it. He saw that armed resistance hadn't worked so far and tried a different tactic, that's it. It still didn't work, but he did wrangle some concessions from the British regarding workers rights. The only thing that broke British control of India was the USA telling them to get the gently caress out of India after 1946 because we wanted access to Indian resources and markets directly.

yes, there's about a 5 day day period where you can be actively spreading it without any symptoms whatsoever. asymptomatic or mild cases can also spread it without knowing it.

i don't know man I can't spend any energy thinking about why they're dumb as poo poo, I just need to figure out how to navigate it. I guess I need an n95 minimum if people around me aren't wearing masks? Homemade won't cut it

Im not a virologist, but yea, everyone in my circle goes with cloth masks are good if everyone wears one, but if not then pull out the n95s.

for us in construction the peer pressure is pretty good, because we all HATE having to work in an n95 so it makes it easy to yell at everyone to mask up so we dont have to resort to them.

hey you asked a question and i answered with my take, no need to get snippy

leftists with guns is a comforting though to me. especially when i think about right wingers with guns. but those right wingers are powerful because they have the backing of the cops, not because they have guns. there is no scenario where Leftists With Guns changes the balance of power anywhere except in my own head.

it's comforting but that's all it is. imho.
