The fact that every american in a nation with more guns than people seems totally willing to let this fascist keep destroying the balance of power their whole country was founded on is honesty pathetic, and I lose respect for them every day it goes on. What the fuck was the right to bear arms in that dusty old paper even for, if not this?
The State militias (State Guards/State Defense Forces) have mostly been abolished and have been almost completely replaced by National Guard and the rest of DOD. The remaining State Guards/State Defense forces have been so thoroughly neutered and atrophied as to be essentially adult versions of boy scouts, but with less activities.
The States should restart their State Defense Forces and take them seriously as a real and legitimate military forces, not unarmed disaster response organizations.
Big talk for someone who also isn’t about to throw their life away to take potshots at the local police station.
Government agitators: “God why are leftists such little babies! Oh you’re not a little baby? You don’t need a nappy? Well prove it! Commit a violent crime at a peaceful protest RIGHT NOW! Yeah, right into that camera. Great. That’s perfect. Thank you.”
I’m not american and my culture has no history of stockpiling weapons to fantasize about using them when the government takes our rights, so don’t try to paint me as a hypocrite for calling this out as an outside observer.
Also, please show me where I even implied people should shoot at local cops or turn protests violent? If there was any advocation of violence in my comment (for legal purposes this is an if) it had one clear target, and wasn’t specifically addressed to leftists. I don’t blame you for wanting reasons to write off what I said, cuz I can’t imagine being american right now - not a figure of speech, I literally cannot and I feel for you dudes - but please don’t resort to strawman and false equivalency fallacies to do it.

It was always for state militias, before we had a national army. That dusty paper literally says that.
Exactly: non-fascist-controlled states should’ve been mobilizing their militias against the fascist thugs by now.
