Many people on the left do have guns, but they also have other things to go along with guns: self-control and a sense of decency.
I’d add on that most on the left have also studied enough to know that people love martyrs and that very few deaths of public figures would substantially change our society.
I’d describe myself as a raging leftist, and I can count on one hand the people whose assassination I think would result in beneficial change for our society even with any blowback of support and counter assassinations. MTG has never been close to that level.
Dismantling systems of oppression and changing the way people think is far more effective.
The issue with this thinking is that you assume that once those in power will easily let it go. We are in a time right now where kids are dumber than ever and social media controls their lives. Its how Andrew taint got so big. Gotta get rid of the fascist first before you can change the education system to fix what they have broken, otherwise they’ll do it all over again.
Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?
You get rid of the fascists by dismantling the systemic structures that allows them to obtain power of authority over others. You do that by educating others and getting them to disobey the current system in favor of something new.
The entire basis of authoritarian power is people “just following orders” of the established authority. If the fascists can’t obtain systemic power of authority to order others around in the first place then they have no ability to engage in their systemic oppression because those who they try to dictate the actions of will be empowered to tell them to go fuck themselves.
Go on… name them!
I’m assuming Trump, Thiel, Bezos, Netanyahu, and one free spin
They know the price of guns.
Many people on the left also lack those qualities. See the Bolsheviks, the IRA, ETA. Red Army Faction, et al
You wrestle with pigs you’re going to get shit on ya. Sorry babe.
The right has been terrorizing this country with impunity for over 100years
Karma, uh, finds a way.
Violence is the basis for all hierarchical authority, which is every modern day imperialist country.
You either bend to their order or they will engage in violence against you until you concede obedience.
Some have made concessions to those of the lower classes but fundamentally they still hold all the power of authority over who is or isn’t “entitled” to access of basic necessities. If we ever buck that authority, the state will always engage in systemic violence against us to maintain that authority.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
The only distinction is where a society draws the line on when violence can begin, and against who, and why.
It’s beyond politics… It’s a legal modern mafia. Wake up. There is no democracy.
there really isn’t… Why are people denying that truth so hard…? It’s like it’s out of fear of reality. Overcome that fear so you build modern life in honest reality because if your reality is not honest you are only building a faulty foundation.
I wanted a 3rd party, just not like this.
You get an alt alt right party. A finger on the
money’smonkey’s paw curls.E: whoops 😅
You might be tempted to change it cause of the typo, but this is more apt
And thats ultimately why they keep coming out on top. You’re not using enough violence.
Womps and prayers to the harpy.
Someone got smacked by the FAFO principle.
Not hard enough, I’d say. A judge’s house was burnt down recently. They’ve gone easy on her.

As awful as she is, her pulling away from MAGA can only help in giving some followers a chance at coming to their senses.
If they didn’t come to their senses after January 6th, they aren’t ever going to. They had their chance.
I mean, yes, but also any movement towards the light should be welcome.
Naive to think it is movement towards the light and not just a simple refusal to go deeper into darkness.
She isn’t becoming a better person. She isn’t “seeing the light”. She is just trying to save her own skin.
Don’t be foolish. If a former enemy moves towards agreement with you, welcome them no matter how distasteful you find them. She has shown a capacity for change. Encourage it in others by accepting it in her.
If she keeps it up after a reelection, I’ll consider it. Otherwise she’s just playing the game.
I did read that her constituents support her over Trump, so it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
I do hope she was serious when she acknowledged her own role in promoting political violence and does change her ways. But I’m skeptical that it’ll stick. We’ll see.
No. Any hint of resistance toward Trump on the right is extremely rare and should be encouraged.
