I'd really like the people saying "the American Public thinks militia are heroic freedom fighters" to have some kind of actual evidence in hand to support that over "the American Public thinks militia are creepy woods-dwelling racists" which is equally plausible and well-supported

the person in question wasn't saying that, they were basically saying that people who equate militias with white supremacists/terrorists are biased and not treating militias fairly and objectively. you see, millions of chuds fuckin love militias, therefore we cant say militias are bad because actually many americans think they're good

which is partly what started this whole argument

all you've said is that there are a lot of people that think "organized militias" are good guys, like so what, of course there are, it breaks down along ideological grounds like everything else in this stupid red vs blue country. the only material difference is that the power structures, especially at the local level/law enforcement, trend heavily red, so if Clem and Buck and Chuck and a bunch of late 40's fart men show up in camo open carrying, they're allowed to do w/e, even if it's in the books as illegal, because the law is a contrivance to arrest outgroup members of the labor class, minorities, queers, and poor people.

the only thing that's going to unseat white men with guns as the defacto good guys regardless of their intentions is the destruction of white supremacy and patriarchy as the pillars of society/culture, and the only that way happens is millions of people dying

this is entering some weird Kant territory where you’re all arguing about ‘militia’ more so than if they’re bad or not. I don’t think any ratio of how America perceives militias matter with how all the right wing ones are co-opted by the police/nazis/KKK/fbi. while it’s true that the black panthers were also an American militia nobody is gonna think of them anymore nor would America allow another panthers-like organization to exist again in the same capacity (ironically FROM these same neo-militia’s and ICE style institutions that’s sprouted out on the grave of Waco/ruby ridge)

the tea party definitely was boogie-manned in America similar to how radical Islam was played up post 9-11 to further interests for the rapidly growing surveillance state and real neo-liberal hellhole that came about after the Cold War

none of this changes that ‘militias’ overall need to be demonized, we’re never gonna get another panthers and we’re already on a crash course for whatever’s coming

this post alone should disqualify you from modship, idk what kinda trotsky path of thinking caused you to defend this in hopes that it doesn’t slurry the good name of militia’s overall


it’s one thing to say “militia’s don’t need to be designated as terrorists from the already established connotations”, but to flare up a boring three prong slapfight where you kept trying to position this as the most woke and scientifically Marx position? unforgivable.

so its not really the same at all as chud militias



in a real leftist site we’d be allowed to take turns all personally roasting you until you stepped down, I wish I had that kind of ego in general

it’s been a long problem with these mega threads where it’s really easy to change goalposts and turn positions around on people cause half the posters dont wanna see drama.

then when it does get called out it fizzles into stupid probes with half the thread holding a grudge for later because apparently even then mods just want threads to go smoothly?

I get C-Spam has a bad rap and all from everyone else saying the place is mentally ill but the amount of real right wing talking points that people can re-direct around here is getting alarming, then the dust settles and some good leftist poster actually ate a ban/perma to certain posters cheering it on. You can’t even blame lowtax for this phenomenon either
