Liberals have good intentions at times, but they are ultimately toothless because they are pussies. I just have to roll my eyes at the people who you tell you to contact your representatives, but has never spent a minute at the range.
Do you know how you get people to listen to you? Let them know that you and people with similar views know how to operate a rifle.
Some good that’s done us. Country taken over by an unelected foreigner and nothing done. No shots fired, no defense of the constitution, no military honor, all those years of patriot bullshit and fugly flag and camo clothing for nothing.
Or you could just come up with a coherent argument to persuade them, rather than intimidating them with implied force. You’re not as tough as you think you are, shooter.
You don’t even need to use violence, just being capable of it is enough.
This right here. Reminds me of a quote:
“Being incapable of violence doesn’t make you a pacifist, it makes you harmless.”
Choosing to be civil, and being capable enough to deter would-be oppressors, are not mutually exclusive values.
Republicans also utterly fail to realize corporate power and government power are the same thing.
This one ALWAYS bothered me. I don’t understand it! They freak out about income taxes and regulations and wax nostalgic about fantasy-1776 and scream about “freedom”, but their daily lives are more shaped and worsened by their hierarchy of petty bosses, who they’ll simp for and hold them blameless at every turn, even while grumbling about how their job is getting worse and then turning around and bragging about their “work ethic” and how little they slept this week.
It’s gotta be stressful holding so many mind-tearing contradictions together. It’s an entire ideology of corporate sock puppeteering.
I don’t understand the deterrent thing. The US dominates the globe militarily and the corporations responsible for the anthropocene extinction enjoy property rights enforced by that military. How is being armed going to stop them from continuing?
Everytime we talk about violence being the only way to create change, limp-dick liberals bitch about how peaceful protests are the only way.
Liberalism helped build this hell, and it’s determined to maintain it.
Leftist need to get guns. Now.

It’s not about being tough, it’s about saying, “no I will not be raped”. Apparently that’s something you struggle with.
So the republicans were right all this time? Wow
The idea of being armed as a deterrent to authority is historically true. You don’t even need to use violence, just being capable of it is enough.
Republicans worshipping cops while encouraging mentally ill teenagers to own 15 guns is not, however.

The US military hasn’t done shit but lose to irregular combatants for decades.
Yeah it’s all the same authoritarian ideology just with different versions of their daddy.
Oh, so where the abolitionist wrong to shoot up slavers?
No, they weren’t… because they never made any effort to stop authoritarianism, and now are begging for it. The GOP will be coming for their guns.
