    Look up MOVE.

    Philadelphia police bombed a house in the middle of the city.

    If it comes to an armed conflict, I really doubt that the folks who couldn’t get Bernie nominated are going to win a firefight.

    Stop living in videogame land.

      Stop living in videogame land.

      If that’s how you think this works, you’re the one with the vision of some video game firefight. We are arming up as a message, not because we think we will win against a military force. But so that if electoral politics fails, we have power to back up our resistance. “Door-to-door meat grinder” is the worst five words any military leader wants to hear and we need to make that becomes the standard our political currency is built on.

      The whole fucking reason that the hardline conservatives in the US have taken so goddamn much ground and got their clown messiah elected is exactly because they understand we don’t live in a star-trek utopia and have embraced POWER to back up their demands, they carry the flag and own guns and declare their willingness to fight for the things they want.

      It’s not about “defeating the military” it’s the knowledge that when they come for you, you will take as many of them with you and hopefully make it too damaging to them to continue the plan so that your neighbor has a chance. It’s about protecting each other through sacrifice.

      What are YOU doing? Asking for civil discourse? What era do you think we’re entering? They are literally making databases of people critical of the regime. Get your head out of your ass and understand that people braver than you are actually willing to fight and die for the same things you want, so you get to decide what role you play in getting there.

          that is a stupid reply, I’m not engaging anymore and won’t see another brain-dead reply. I hope you never have to worry about this and would kindly prefer you keep your stupid-hole closed when adults are talking about these matters.

            “I think we should run into the cannon’s mouth and choke the enemy with our dead.”

            “That sounds like an awful plan.”

            “So what’s your plan, just give in??”

              I didn’t say that. I’m just a passerby reading your conversation and noticing that you haven’t put any ideas forward. So… what should be done?

                I’m just a passerby reading your comment.

                You’re obviously following the issue.

                What’s your plan?

                  To keep living in Canada and keep my gun license up to date in case your country’s bullshit leaks all the way over.

                  Not my first choice. I never wanted a gun. Now what are your ideas?

                    First step is to call out any idiot who thinks that life is a video game and they can just buy a gun and instantly overthrow the 0.01%
