    What are you gonna do when the government comes after you with your scrawny ass weapon? It’ll work against a neighbor, sure, but the military can see through your walls using wifi alone. There’s a literal helicopter above your house tracking your every move. They know more about you than you realize. This is the strongest army in the world we’re talking about.

    And, even if violence sounds tempting, there are so many things to do before any of that, like resist and organize. You can definitely fight back in man other ways besides a picket sign and a gun. I’m not sure why those are the only two options.

      You don’t get in a tank fight with a pistol. Pick your battles.

      United Healthcare just lost 80 billion in value when some rando took out its CEO.

      efore any of that, like resist and organize. You can definitely fight back in

      resisting and organizing are necessary steps.

      Do you really think they’ll be effective against the man that will happily mow down the people resisting?

      When one side is ready to use violence and the other side is not, the other side always loses.

      We’re still monkeys with sticks over here.

        Is he mowing people down? He’s purging and people are resisting, as they should. And despite that the only threat has been towards us foreigners. You have more to worry about your fellow bleeding heart patriots. Arm yourselves against those first if you must.
