you and i know the answer. guns. there has to be a purge or this never gets better.

then by all means

i am to stand up, but i won't be at these protests. good luck. hope you accomplish something. i really do.

about 15% of total US voters

pretty easy purge

i'm not going to try to discredit the work of scholars, these are good points. i'm just ready for this to not ever be a problem again. i want a path for humanity to move forward without pushbacks every 50 to 100 years.

exactly.

(notice they're downvoting me even though you and i are saying the same thing)

the thing you don't get is that all those middle america people want a good guy. and they're gullible. so give them what they want. the american left looks like a bunch of cowards. if we believed in what we say we do, we wouldn't let this affront to humanity go unchecked. there needs to be consequences. but the fact that we're such pathetic pacifists looks like weakness and lack of moral fortitude, and it truly is. the entire fate of global civilization hangs in the balance and we post memes.

and even given some kind of miracle that somehow we politics our way out of this mess, those same idiots will still be here and this shit will repeat itself in 20 years. unless they fear us. this is the owner class flexing its sociopathic muscles in front of us. and we are letting them do it like humble peasants. and you're contributing to that.

i honestly don't see how people don't get it. they can't explain it either. they just make personal attacks.

you're not interested in honest discussion. you'd rather make personal attacks. over the ineternet, of course. not in person.

this isn't about me. it's about us.

that's my entire reasoning for being so insistent. it takes all of us. don't waste that energy.

one of us will get to come back here and say "i told you so". i don't care how it gets done, but from my years of observation, it's not going to be protests. not unless they become riots, which is a different beast than carrying signs.

but the problem is, once it becomes riots, then we're sitting ducks, unorganized and mostly still ineffective. i'm just trying to save us from that pain. if you're willing to riot, then you're willing to take a calculated approach.

watched the video. this is a lady that donates to NPR (which is great!), not someone who knows how to fight a war. she actually makes some great points that, if extrapolated far enough, underscore the very same thing i'm trying to impress upon you.

or better yet, disable things. work discreetly and covertly. don't be a target. if we're going to be a mob, let's act like a mob and drag someone into the streets.

it's a war. treat it like one. stop being the lambs. be the lion instead. i have something VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTRIBUTE. are you not listening?

you think i don't know what's going on? i'm trying to steer the energy towards something effective. i'm not trying to discourage resistance at all. i just want these children to wake up to the reality that massive protests just make us sitting ducks. this admin is more than willing to trample our constitutional rights.

there's no need to walk into tragedy when we can become the one who knocks. don't wait for the fight to come to you. assume they are the fascists. they keep telling us exactly who they are. don't wait for them to strike first. that's how wars get lost.

who's whining? i'm trying to help you.

you have to stop taking criticism personally. i'm not going to sugarcoat the truth for you. there are hard, cold facts that you just need to acknowledge for the benefit of humanity.

because i have concerns.

i've been watching the left lose ground since bush, and i'm tired of watching naive children become bitter and give up. i'd rather you realize what it takes to win so you don't waste your energy (of which you have a finite amount). i want to see a win in my lifetime.

EDIT: a real win, not a social media victory. something that changes the course of our trajectory on a long term scale. something that reduces human suffering for the next century.

but what is it doing?

buy guns

becoming the bully. making them fear us. coordinating attacks that disable their ability to propagandize. creating real life consequences for sociopaths, christian nationalists, and conservatives. making examples out of people.
