    TL;DR;

    Your reply doesn’t make sense because it seems you didn’t understand what was said. (intentionally or unintentionally)

    You don’t seem to understand a lot of my reply, let’s see if we can clear some stuff

    Nobody mentioned fascists or requiring anyone to advocate for anyone else’s rights.

    The post was complaining about the 2nd amendment folks not getting upset that ICE was treading on people’s rights… Why would they? Why would you expect any other group to defend your rights.

    I’m not sure how this relates to either the original message you responded to, or your reply to it.

    You don’t seem to understand what satire is. Either the original poster was truly upset the 2nd amendment folks were not defending other people’s rights. Or he was trying to make a satirical point outlining that 2nd Amendment people had no intention of defending people’s rights and just wanted guns. I think given the context it is the latter. Satire is great when trying to convince others that the other party is wrong I.E. Gun rights advocates were possibly lying

    I will say however that a basic level of reading comprehension and good faith (the latter more than the former) would be required before i personally cared about someone’s opinion of me, laughter included.

    … Ok

    As we’ve established above, this is also unrelated.

    I’m simply pointing out that when there is need on the left to defend yourselves with firearms you’ve undermined your case. Look up videos with armed protesters or what the Black Panthers are doing to repel ICE. The police and ICE are a lot less willing to deploy excessive force or even to engage with armed individuals.

    Also, “anybody who doesn’t agree with me is a lefty” is a weak foundation for both conversation and understanding.

    I literally quoted Carl Marx what makes you think I’m not on the left? Go left enough and guns are back on the table.
