• I find it hilarious that Clinton got impeached in 1998 for getting a blowjob (and votes were 50/50!) when compared to this shit show and nobody has even thought of doing anything to stop it.

      Clinton got impeached for perjury he committed when he was testifying before Congress as defendant in a sexual harassment inquiry. If we hadn’t let the DNC hand wave it away as “just a blowjob” back then maybe it would be easier to hold presidents accountable for breaking the law now.

    You know that bullshit gets tired.

    People acting like the armed left isn’t preparing.

    Like, motherfuckers, the loud 2a advocates were all right wing. The motherfuckers this fake motherfucker is whining about are the ones backing this shit.

    But, more important, why does every motherfucker shooting their mouth off about this think that you win a fucking civil war by just going out and shooting things? Like, does nobody get that attacks need useful intelligence, planning, logistics, transportation, and it can’t be out in the open, you gotta either fight it guerilla, or you’re just dead.

    People are fucking morons.

      Exactly the point of everyone who ever pointed out that your guns are completely useless if your government ever goes off the rails.

        Well, the other side of it is that it doesn’t matter how good your planning and logistics are if you only have rocks to throw when you get there

        Nobody with a lick of sense ever said that a civil war against an established and well equipped government was going to be fought on battlefields, lined up and infantry vs civilian infantry.

        And it takes more than guns, as the Iraqis and Afghanis showed. But calling guns useless in a revolution or civil war, much less as a resistance or insurgency is just stupid.

          I feel like it’d have to be a lot like Vietnam, with vets communicating 1 on 1 with soldiers, convincing them not to side with the government (trump has marginalized vets, after all). A military coup would be the best case scenario here. You convert his military, you remove his power.

          Guns are pretty much giving the government the excuse to just shoot you as a crazy gun nut (or extremist group,…) and shoot you without any morale repercussions in the people they use to do so and without any PR nightmare in the greater population for them.

            They’re already abducting and deporting academics on the flimsiest justifications based off social media posts disparaging Trump and/or Elon. We’re past the point that they need to label people something as heavy as gun nut to justify their actions.

        Sorry, I forgot they were supposed to provide you personally with a detailed overview of their plans on a public forum lmao

          I wasn’t the one who used the “the armed left is preparing” argument in a public forum. I just consider it a stupid argument to use if there isn’t any evidence that that is happening.

                  Yeah, someone not believing the notion that the “armed left” is about to stage their insurrection is totally a ciamossadfbi spook. Maybe I am the spook and maybe you really have detailed information on when and where the United People’s Liberation Army of the Free and Democratic Republic of, I dunno, Eastern Minnesota will finally make their stand!

                  Or maybe, everyone on this God damn platform is just LARPing.

                  To quote some German songwriter: “Du hast Angst, dass sie dich töten, weil du einfach zu viel weißt. Ich hab Angst, dass du dir glaubst, dass du im Ernst so wichtig seist.”

                  If you’re worried that posting more than “nuh uh” publicly would negatively impact your ability to take action, then you’re in a position where you aren’t safe posting anything about it. Not even your little “nuh uh”.

                  Either stop LARPing (because you aren’t part of any organizing), stop making yourself more vulnerable by posting shit like this (because you are part of something and being stupid posting this shit), or just save some time and turn yourself in because you’ve already fucked up.

                  I have too much to lose to do anything drastic, but you all would be well served to do some serious learning about how criminals and hackers get caught, and how to protect yourself with proper opsec.
