Because capitalism has beaten every last will I have.

It won't get better because we are, in fact, waiting to die.

Dear other countries: don't let the bastards win. They already have here.

Edit: I'm depressed as fuck, please don't let my doomsaying hurt you. Sorry.

No I feel you. It's a bad time to be American.

Like how election fraud completely disappeared once Trump won?

They are afraid they will find some

They ~~are afraid~~ know they will find some

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

It's only fraud when they lose. Snowflakes don't like to lose.

Of course the NRA has been quiet. They always do this, because they're not about to people. Do you remember when California passed stricter gun laws? Because black people were buying guns? That happened like 50 years ago. The NRA was silent then and they are silent now.

Of course it's always good to point out the hypocrisy. But let's also remember the historical context, that this is consistent with the organization's values and it always has been and it always will be.

I'm sorry, I can't figure out what you meant to say with "not about to people," and it's driving me nuts.

[–] Uranus_Hz@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Not about the people

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 43 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Well ... The 2nd ammendment friendly liberals are smart enough not to post "come get sum ya dirty Nazi asshats" or say how they might be looking forward to defending their home against armed trespassers (ICE without a warrant). That stuff leads to trouble, or might look bad in court.

People know this is bad. History shows this only ends in violence. There is no way to vote our way out of this, these people either get overthrown/arrested, or they get taken out by other nations world war style.

"The takeover will be bloodless if the left allows it to be."

My 00 buckshot is allowed to enter ICE agents who don't have a warrant.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ya. I mean. They don't have a warrant. They're trespassing.

The issue is law enforcement won't serve a warrant in the blind. They do their research. They know who they're about to take down.

So if it's just a migrant family trying to get by. Sure. They'll knock the doors down guns drawn like in the tv shows.

But it you a coked up methhead with traps all over your property in rural Georgia they'll conveniently not have enough probable cause.

America is a messed up country.

I keep seeing this nonsense being parroted as though these pigs are going to burst in while you're ready and waiting.

Surely they won't come in and kill you while you're asleep, right? No, that could never happen...

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

No knock warrants are stupidly dangerous for the victim and police. Personally if the SS are knocking my door down, and I can certainly say no one else is going to do this at any time, I'm comfortable with making my own terms. My life is going to hopefully cost more than equal loss. I'd rather fight till I die then die in a hole, they can torture and rape my corpse, I'll be done with it before then.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Get organized, train.

It's that or lie down and take it.

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I told Americans for weeks now to go meet minorities in their communities, offer to help them organize and arm. Then help them resist.

They'll fight you about it.

I've been called every name you can imagine. Told they would all be killed in the streets (very possible I admit but not the point), I was reported a lot and given bans for inciting violence. Many of those posts have subsequently been deleted. I was attacked so much I shut my original account and use two new accounts so I don't unintentionally dox myself.

Now it's pretty common to see these comments.

They were always pussies.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 129 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They're fine with tyranny as long as they see it as "their" tyranny. And they'll still be blaming the gays and the immigrants when they themselves are dragged off to the gulag.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's time for the democrats to take up arms then. It'll probably start a civil war again.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

The tyranny is when they take the guns and it's too late to fight back. The tyranny is not the slow boil while they oppress the people I don't like before getting to me next. Duh. Stupid libs.

This is that tyranny you were always talking about

Reminds me of Alex Jones; or to be more precise, of the KnowledgeFight (play on InfoWars) podcast. All through 2025 they are commenting on Alex' praise of Trumplon: "You should know that this is exactly what you pretended to be fighting against all those years."

It really shows that the alt-right and related movements were never about freedom. It's always been about the hate, mostly hate of others.

I’m not being quiet about it AT ALL. This is why I’ve been trying to convince my liberal friends to arm themselves for years.

The US is the biggest joke of a country, only the joke is not the least bit funny.

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Well, it's a conservative joke, so... yeah.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (8 children)

You should become a 2A person, and get real loud about this. Let the Gestapo know that their choice of career is putting their lives at risk

No one is looking to incite a civil war, even if many people on both sides fantasize about it. War is grueling and terrible and we are still too comfortable to risk it. BUT. I think preparing ourselves for the eventuality is wise. Really the best move we could make would be a general strike. It'd be a bloodless deathblow to this stupid stupid situation.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 day ago

2nd amendment people never cared about defending against tyranny, they just wanted their cool boom boom toys and specifically nthis group also just wanted to be able to be racist twats
