In Texas, members of LGBTQ community arm themselves to fight right-wing extremists

[dirtyharry555]

Here's your problem. The have-nots in America don't arm to overthrow the government. They're manipulated to kill minorities and assuage their rage in that fashion.

What do you mean by "have-nots" and "minorities". Most murders in America are committed by poor minorities against other poor minorities, with illegal weapons.

The majority of non-murderers are legal gun owners, who are armed for many reasons. One is to ensure that the government can't treat them the way the Chinese government treats its citizens.

If there is a shoot-out, it's likely to lead to no improvement. Just an increase in the level of violence.

A shoot-out between whom? What fantasy world are you people living in?

How about the way the Canadian government - or British government, or French government, or German government - treat their citizens?

The only reason that the US has loose gun laws is so that the gun companies can make massive profits selling firearms to 18 year olds.

Just riffing on what Butler was saying, Harry. You're clearly not following the thread.

 

[Anbarandy]

People laughed at me me and called me an "accelerationist " when I said this was coming. The best part is some of the right wing types have been complaining that open carry laws weren't meant for this type of thing.

Still laugh.

How many "me" constitute thee?

Well, at least you have built up a digital vacuum of crypto-coin vapor to tide you through the a'happenin' acceleration.

 

[Valcazar]

You are mistaken. I don't support the hard right. I just understand they are beyond reach now. But the soft right of the Democratic Party and the Soft Right of the Republican Party are the real problem. They are the ones bought and paid for. Imo so long as they continue to increase income inequality then the two extremes become more attractive to those who feel they have no hope.

This isn't a left/right problem. Its a rich/poor one.

And you support violence to overthrow "the soft right" without regard to who ends up in charge afterwards. (None of this is a "left/right" issue to you.)
The hard right seems more prone to go for violence, so that's who you have been rooting for.

Which is why he's an accelerationist.
He was totally fine with using this term himself until I pointed out that only people who call themselves accelerationists really are boogaloo bois and other extremist right wing militias.

Uh no, support is incorrect. Resigned to it is more like it. As much as you would like to gaslight that a political party can solve this, their leadership and the donors have other ideas. Basically they don't really give a shit.

Why do you think the Patriot Act funding is going to militarizing the police? They know its coming too.

 

[Butler1000]

That you continue to think about me is what warms my heart.

why is it then that when the 2020 election was stolen 99,9999% of these good gun owners got cold feet and didn't show up on Jan 6 with their weapons? Maybe they need bigger weapons?

Would a solid and tangible, not a vapor and thin air, crypto-coin based buyback of all the gun nuts guns lead to a deceleration of the coming Accelergeddon or would it just be supplanted by the coming Cybergeddon?

You appear to have to your ears firmly planted to any apocalyptic tremors resonating thru Terra-Americana, so what do your ears see and your eyes hear?

 

[dirtydaveiii]

This is great news for Abbott and the NRA. Texas will be the leader of gun ownership and mass murders! Good job guys you did it!

It's funny how much Lefties seem to be itching for bloodshed. It turns out that the "far right" boogeyman that you're so afraid is 99.9% a figment of your imagination.

 

[dirtydaveiii]

Is that what you think of the Allies in WWII?

Sometimes, when your enemy leaves you no choice, its a viable option.

Shooting and killing armed people you deem as threatening is the conservative American dream

The stark difference between right wingers and what you call a 'Leftie' is that there are no moderates on the right wing side; you are either one of them or your not - you either have to tow the line and defend all right wingers or get kicked out of the club. You may realize Marge Green is a nut but you cannot say so in public or you would get kicked out. Its much like Christian religions - you have to believe everything or nothing. What you call the left wing is nothing like that. There may be some extremists when it comes to the enviornment, human rights and social equalities, but most non right wingers are moderate and do not believe like gospel in every policy of Liberal goverments. I dont like a lot of things about the Liberals here and I dont like the abuse of our welfare system and our refugee policies. Does that make me a right winger? I also believe in privacy and human rights for everyone, regardless of ethnicities, genders or sexual preferences. I could give two fucks if a boy identifies as a girl or if my neighbour is butt fucking the gay mail man. I believe in the right to choose abortion, I believe our gun laws are far more effective than in the United States, I believe the separation of church and state is important. I believe that laws which allow people to carry guns in public areas are insane.

so far you failed to explain why righties claim to need weapons to fight government but have no guts to use them.

 

[JohnLarue]

Add a couple more groups. Mass murder & Intimidation.
AR-15 with a high capacity magazine is a weapon of mass destruction. Not self defense.

I would believe an AR-15 would be quite an effective defensive weapon & you may not even have to pull the trigger
Someone looking to do you harm with a knife or a revolver would be second guessing themselves if you are toting an AR-15

Shooting and killing active shooters trying to kill family and friends is the right thing to do.

]How about the way the Canadian government - or British government, or French government, or German government - treat their citizens?

you mean like declaring the emergencies act to deal with the lawless bouncy castles and hot tub parties?

The only reason that the US has loose gun laws is so that the gun companies can make massive profits selling firearms to 18 year olds.

No actually the reason is that it is a constitutional right of Americans to own guns.
This was included as they feared over reach by their pervious govt the British

You want to
1. Take guns away from legal owners ,who like to hunt, practice target shooting and defend themselves & their families
2. Defund the police
3. Reduce jail time

Sounds like a recipe for a nasty crime wave

skateboarders and toothbrushers too

Here's your problem. The have-nots in America don't arm to overthrow the government. They're manipulated to kill minorities and assuage their rage in that fashion. American violence is non-progressive.

If there is a shoot-out, it's likely to lead to no improvement. Just an increase in the level of violence.

Since you enjoy violence, you'll find it exciting. But it's not going to bring even such incremental progress as universal single-payer health care - the very thing that the Dems you despise are trying to achieve.

Somehow people like him think that blowing each other back to the stone age is better than struggling for improvement.

The biggest issue with his 'logic' is that guns are not distributed evenly between the hard right and progressives. A bloody civil war will only end up with hard right authoritarian government.
