They did it here in Canada to the trucker protestors. While everyone cheered it on, those of us with an eye for the future noted that what can be done to them can be done to us.

Yeah, let's just organize 100,000+ people right under the nose of the US government, on the damn homefront, to overthrow a tyrannical government, all the while being spied on via every backdoor on Earth by the NSA. Good luck and have fun having your house burned down.

Learn in this order:

• First Aid
• Gardening or Farming
• Food preservation
• Shooting
• Electronics and Radio

Also stop supporting anti-gun orgs ffs.

yeah but if you give out civilized healthcare, how will you bully your people into working hard so they don't end up in the trench abandoned?

Yeah idk man, once they start putting IEDs on I-90 things are gonna change real quick.

dumb sentence without any meaning or content, except to make people shut up when they actually have something to say

Then just move.
I know the current administration is happy you are spreading propaganda that states to roll over since there's nothing to do.
You are the maga hero.

Look, you've got good intentions and the right general idea, but you're not thinking this through.

Yes, the US is genuinely under attack staging a genuine coup right now, I'm not going to deny that. This is reality, this is happening.

But, unfortunately the American people are largely letting it happen. Real talk, if NATO tried to step in right now right via force, while correct, there is just no way that wouldn't be perceived as an enormous overstep and effectively a hostile action on the part of NATO against a sovereign nation.

The reality is perception matters. It's one thing if NATO steps in to stabilize a country that is being shaken apart with unrest and sounding the cries of outrage against tyranny - that's easy optics for NATO to swoop in as the heroic liberator. But until we're at that point, genuinely at that point, NATO is handicapped and any action they take is just throwing gas on the fire.

Again, it comes down to me and you.

When CW II kicks off some people will be caught, some will be thrown in prison, and some people will be killed.

Remember it's "home of the brave", not "home of the chicken shit cowards".

I hope that you are incorrect, but fear that you are closer to correct than not, sadly.

Look, I'm not saying to just roll over, but wtf are we supposed to do. The second amendment is there, I don't see anyone utilizing it, and I don't think they ever will.

Remember it’s “home of the brave”, not “home of the cowards”.

I have yet to be proven otherwise.

It's already been proven.

Ah, okay, my bad.

Let's pretend any of that actually matters and the US government doesn't have a history of losing to locals, and ask the following: what happens if you willingly disarm yourself? Criminals will still have guns, your police will still shoot "less-lethal" rounds into the heads of protesters, and you will still be oppressed.

What do you get out of this? A fraction of the illusion of safety? And all it cost you was the last defense against oppression anyone has.

I really don't care to get into overarching argument of the 2nd amendment, it's been done to death. It's also not what this conversation was about.

The photo is weirdly blurry and grainy so be suspicious.

You mean the filthy window? Yeah, something tells me they get pollution there and don't clean the outside of the windows as often as they should. I've seen that kinda filthy often enough on office windows.

The "something to say" being that I'm a Russian troll? Lol.

[cries in RFC 2119]

I don’t understand what it’s going to take for someone to do something. Protests are not going to work when they’re holding all our money, services, rights, data, etc hostage, and threatening all our public servants.

You know EXACTLY what you were calling for. Don't get high and mighty now.
