It saddens me to see leftists left toothless in the face of those that would hurt them. Yet yall insist on being victims and relying on the same cops that oppress you. Total pacifism has a more accurate name, “I like letting fascists win.”
Buddy, if it comes to the point where my family needs to shoot back against the things you mentioned, then we already lost long before that.
Like, if you just took half the amount of time it takes psyching yourself up and purchasing your ammunition and channeled that into – you know – civic duty and getting your friends and family to vote, then that would be a far more productive use of your time to avert fascism.
So just take it a step back, okay? Use your brain over bullets.
Oh? Did you need me to walk you through it, buddy?
Where did I say anything about liberals? (Herein lies the strawman)
I just had a far-leftist espouse arming up because Karl Marx said so; so whether they’re Liberal or Leftist, the point remains.
Liberalism In the United States has traditionally either been short-hand for social liberalism, or the polar-opposite to conservatism. As Howard Zinn points out in The Case for Socialism, Left and Liberalism were used interchangeably throughout American history and distanced itself from that of right-wing conservatism.
Do you speak on behalf of all liberals and leftists? <— Herein lies the gatekeeping / No True Scot fallacy.
Classic over-confidence of a sub-22-year-old tankie.
But viva la revolution, amirite. Send me a screenshot of your Che Guevera poster.
Which is why you’ve put a security door on your bedroom, right? A sane home defense strategy has nothing to do with protecting your stuff, and should focus on creating a defensive enclave.
I have no clue why this stranger is in my home threatening those I care about, all I know is they decided breaking into my home and are possibly violent.
For stealing shit from a supermarket, or a bank, or something of that sort? Nah, fuck the corporations. For invading someone’s inner sanctum and defiling their most important space? Justified.
I get to keep everything I stole, in exchange you won’t call the cops, and throw away your alarms and weapons. You will also promise, that you won’t be able to defend yourself the next time.
You don’t negotiate with a burglar who breaks in and steals your shit. You shoot them between the eyes.
Anyone who calls for a compromise is either Russian or a complete fucking idiot.
You shoot people in the face for stealing? Sheesh.
Home invasions aren’t stealing, they’re a threat of violence and personal harm.
If you’re just looking to steal you do it when no one is home.
It saddens me how much right-wing gun rhetoric has infiltrated the left.

Besides, guns don’t make you safer.
Liberals aren’t the left.
This trope is tiresome.Your fallacies are:
You’re ignorant and you don’t know what words mean, including fallacy.
Which is, in fact, an identifying feature of a liberal.

They valued stuff more than their lives yes. I’m not taking the chance they decide to come back or get violent.
Actually YOU valued stuff more than THEIR lives. So close.
truly spoken by someone who has never actually had to deal with anything close to this in reality.
you hear glass break and you what, help them fill up the van and make them a sandwich, because they need it more than you and are of no threat?
Yes. Those are your two options. You’re a genius! You hear glass break, you start blasting!!
Most American-ass shit ever.
I like how you don’t have a real response, just insults, Id try to guess where you are from, but I’m not a generalizing bigot.

If you say so.
The way Russia would negotiate a burglary:
I get to keep everything I stole, in exchange you won’t call the cops, and throw away your alarms and weapons. You will also promise, that you won’t be able to defend yourself the next time.
Can’t it be both?
