I live in the rural area of one of the most red states.

I am also as far left as someone can be before the horseshoe turns into authoritarianism again.

The left is armed. We just have the decades of experience necessary to know that you don't advertise your capabilities. Especially in an open forum like the fucking internet.

Ok well can the left Luigi someone bad already?

Maybe not give up in a McDonald's?

Be the flames you wish to see in the world.

Literally everyone I know who is in favor of 2A is against this. They're "being real quiet" because you don't interact with them and have no line of communication with them outside of Twitter trolls

We shouldnt have to talk to those nutters. They had one job: be good at guns for shooting tyranny. We let this dumb hobby of of theirs lead to killing hundreds and hundreds of children. For their hobby. Now it's time for them to put up or shut up and defeat tyranny. If they won't do it now they will never do it, so why are we letting their dumbass larping hobby kill kids?

[–] PoPoP@lemm.ee 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Why would you expect someone to put their life on the line for you when you spout off about them all being lunatics? They're at home with their family ready to protect their own home from tyranny as it comes to their own front door. They're not assembling an army to take care of you too. You hate them, so defend yourself if you want to.

Besides, my entire point is about how fucking stupid it is to be all like "I'm not hearing anything from those people I never talk to, curious isn't it?" I literally do not care in the slightest about a might-as-well-be-copypasted rant I've heard 10000 times from people who might as well be the exact same person as you.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what the actual fuck is wrong with you.

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 0 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't want kids to die, I don't think that's wrong.

Do you think that's wrong? Apparently. Murderer.

[–] PoPoP@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

You don't actually think saying crazy shit like this to people is going to change anyone's mind about anything do you? If anything this kind of talk makes people more entrenched in their opinions. So you're just venting, which is understandable, but you're wrong to take it out on a stranger regardless of if you think a political disagreement makes them subhuman. You need therapy.

So we should start calling ICE to report fashy gun owners are harboring illegal aliens, yes?

Maybe even illegal aliens with blogs that are critical of fascism.

Enemy of my enemy is a way to one less enemy.

All they need to do is knock down just the right 99 percenter's door...

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The sad part is for this to work they have to seem nice and that's mostly incompatible. Like imagine if you reported that Oprah was harboring illegal immigrants. Hire them, sure, but harbor them? Oprah has done more for the alt right than most, so it's just a laughable idea. Gates? Nah. Zuckerbot? Double nah, he doesn't even want wealthy people near him. I bet he makes millionaires clean his pool. It's hard to find a believable subject at all, and if you do you wouldn't want to use it :(

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 1 points 11 hours ago

I wasn't clear.

  • they knock down the wrong door
  • they shoot the occupants in a firefight
  • the far right militias turn on trump...
[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Who would've guessed that people overly obsessed with firearms and very vocal about their obsession had small dicks.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I mean, no one has tried to break into our houses yet.

[–] Therobohour@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

It's almost as if they bad guys have the guns

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

They're 100% OK about right wing autocracy and white supremacy. That's been their thing the whole time.

Like how election fraud completely disappeared once Trump won?

So if you shoot someone acting on a no knock warrant, are you in the wrong? What if you live in a state with a castle law?

[–] AtomicPinecone@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago

Morally and constitutionally no, but good luck living long enough to argue that in a court.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Just know that with the first shot, they are going to unload every round of ammo they have until every living thing in that house is dead.

[–] Therobohour@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hey yea that's right,you yanks love shooting people on your property

Depends on the state. But if you shoot a cop, regardless of how justified, your next 10 years, should you see them, are going to suck. And the following 10 are iffy.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

These are the cops who are whisking people away to El Salvador with the intent of leaving them there forever. Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

They're fine with tyranny as long as they see it as "their" tyranny. And they'll still be blaming the gays and the immigrants when they themselves are dragged off to the gulag.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Get organized, train.

It's that or lie down and take it.

I just want to say, Che-casio Cortez is looking really good.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 43 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Well ... The 2nd ammendment friendly liberals are smart enough not to post "come get sum ya dirty Nazi asshats" or say how they might be looking forward to defending their home against armed trespassers (ICE without a warrant). That stuff leads to trouble, or might look bad in court.

People know this is bad. History shows this only ends in violence. There is no way to vote our way out of this, these people either get overthrown/arrested, or they get taken out by other nations world war style.

This is that tyranny you were always talking about

Reminds me of Alex Jones; or to be more precise, of the KnowledgeFight (play on InfoWars) podcast. All through 2025 they are commenting on Alex' praise of Trumplon: "You should know that this is exactly what you pretended to be fighting against all those years."

It really shows that the alt-right and related movements were never about freedom. It's always been about the hate, mostly hate of others.
