    If only more Lefties weren’t as afraid of owning guns as Republicans are.

    And don’t give me that bullshit that democrats own guns too, because that is a pitiful and miniscule quantity of people compared to the quantity rural Christian fascists own.

    You think I’m wrong? Prove it by posting a pic of your own guns. That’s right, you don’t own any.

    You can’t hang fascists if they keep killing you off before you can reach them or their families, and all you do is impotently sign wave at protests and finger waggle at them.

    None of you have any teeth to make any change, because fascists only respect violence, and all pf you are too scared to arm up and protect the vulnerable with open-carry deterrence.

      Our SRA membership has surged since the election. Definitely more socialist understanding why they would want to be armed.

        I donated $2k to the SRA and volunteered to train locals at the nearby range, but zero people are involved, so all I can do now is join the finger waggling and sign waving until more democrats stop voting for laws restricting gun ownership, meanwhile republican states can have ammo delivered to their front doors. We have no hope of fighting fascism when democrats are so fucking weak and scared

            Sorry, I’m not willing to divulge any personal info anymore on the internet. Pretend I live in a Democrat dominant state and am surrounded by people who are ignorant about firearms

              Ha no worries. But that basically sounds like Washington state. But I guess maybe we have a lot more “outdoor” people here and maybe that makes people more likely to not view firearms so negatively.

      When “no fault” divorce was made legal it was literally a win for men and they didn’t even know it.

      When a women wanted a divorce in the old days she’d just drop some visine in your morning coffee. Just a little bit every day until the problem was dealt with.

    yeah. another new deal or similar will just further delay our problems and allow them time to regroup and replan, and if you let them free they turn into gusanos.

    i don’t feel that it should be necessary, but its like they are begging for the guillotine isn’t it.

      If you completely lack class analysis. Sure.

      Jews and minority groups are specifically used as scapegoats for the inequality and exploitation that capitalism causes. It’s why fascism is a defense of capitalism when it is in it’s in decline.

      Pointing to the actual systemic causes is not a Nazi meme. And there has been no revolution in history in which the ruling class gave up power without first enacting violence on the lower class of society in order to maintain its power.

      Threatening violence in response to the violence enacted by the ruling class is not a “Nazi meme”.

      In a just world the ruling class today in America should be hung for their crimes of genocide.

    But if us proles proceed as this meme suggests, how do we plan on avoiding future prole gens from doing the same to us? And then who is really repeating ‘it’ and what specifically about this time distinguishes it from past/future iterations?

      Is this some really weird class analysis that involves generational heirarchy?

      Like, is this the anarchist meme of “bed time is a parental construct from an unjustifiable hierarchy?”

      Seriously, though. I must be misunderstanding what you are trying to say.

        I’m trying to express two concerns about OP’s meta-language:

        1. How specifically can we (the non-rich) take this post seriously without becoming just as immoral as those we wish to oppose? Aren’t we merely becoming the monsters we promised to slay? If so evil persists just in another form.

        2. What is particularly unique about the post’s emphasis on “this time”? We have plenty of corroborating history and theory, most of which seems to indicate that nothing in our current era will have different outcomes than previous attempts. I’d almost argue the exact opposite, now is the time to think or reflect–never has there been a time more obviously in need of recoordinating, not idle activity/mechanical action.
