Riiiight... because the only way the left could possibly ever arm itself is because of astroturfing, right?
Somehow, I don't think you know what left means, genius.
Hahah, quoting Marx when -- tell me -- how popular is Marx anyway in the US? Going to give you a hint and note that the figure is somewhere <=1%.
That you believe Marx speaks for every leftist in America in some strangely divine authoritarian reference.... Allllriiighty, then, genius.
Most, if not all, leftists accept Marx's ideation of capitalism - even anarchists, who can be pretty disdainful of Marx otherwise. If you don't, you're not a leftist.
So... do you have any other reason to disarm the left apart from your silly little liberal conspiracy theory?
So by extension, they all accept his word on firearms? You speak for all leftists? How awfully convenient!
Alllriiightyyy, then.... Your logical fallacy is: Non-Sequitur.
I can give you a plethora of reasons worth the time honestly, but given your usage of fallacies and blindly presumptuous takes ("silly little liberal"), I'm just not sure it's worth my time.
Find out for yourself here or here.
Somehow, I doubt you're going to try.
And yet you haven't... no surprises there.
Yes, I called your silly little liberal conspiracy theory a silly little liberal conspiracy theory - because it's a silly little liberal conspiracy theory.
c/leftism and c/anarchism is a representative sample of all lefitsts....? Citation needed, please!
Why would I need to try when your argument is fallacious out of the gate? I'm a self-described leftist and I disagree. I'm living-proof you're objectively incorrect. But please proceed with obvious gatekeeping.
Of course, I gave the precise reason as to why. With fallacies like these, why would I consider an in-depth discussion? Explain.
Since when is ProPublica a conspiracy theory? It's well-documented this is precisely what righties and firearm manufacturers want. Or is it that difficult to comprehend that firearm manufacturers would want to make more money by selling to a wider market?
Yeah... I had an idea you wouldn't want actual leftists dropping their two cents onto your shitty little lib conspiracy theory.
Can I spot a liberal or can I spot a liberal?
You have given absolutely nothing.
Riiiiight... arming the left is exactly what right-wingers want - that is why they rushed to support the Black Panthers when they started packing heat, right?
I think I might have a bridge to sell you. Interested?
No-true Scot Fallacy. You just can't stop from making fallacies and gatekeeping as you make statistical errors for a population pool that is — checks notes — <1% of the population... Thinking a fringe subreddit comprised of anonymity and astroturfers is going to represent all leftists in America, LOL. Come on kid, lay off the weed and start to use that noggin for but a moment, would you?
Can I spot a silly little revolutionary at — oh let me guess — the ripe age of around 22-years-old? Though I may be pushing it and you've yet to break out of your teens. A classic tale old as time, substituting bullets for brains.
Perhaps if your reading-comprehension isn't so good, this may be the case?
Times have changed, buddy. At the moment, right-wing extremists are getting destroyed in the media because the contrast between left and right-wing violence is so stark. No matter how hard they try the BoTh SiDeS bullshit is just no longer sticking. While the left remains largely unarmed, the right is causing all sorts of chaos with violent attacks and it's taking a toll on their ideology's popularity. Their leaders are being charged; the DOJ is highlighting right-wing extremism as the #1 domestic terrorist threat. So what do these right-wing dipshits obviously want? To muddy the waters and escalate things and radicalize the left. But at the moment they know they can't, and it's making them look really bad. Let's keep it that way, mmmkay? Again, let's use brains over bullets.
Also I didn't think it took much ink to connect the dots that all you're doing is making rich firearm manufacturer executives & shareholders happy with the purchase of your firearm that makes you feel mighty, but you sure dodged that. Indeed, you're really taking on the Bourgeoisie, LOL.
Soooo... you're still not prepared to try your silly little liberal conspiracy theory on actual leftists?
Aaaaand... I'm still not surprised.
Aaaand... you still have nothing except a silly little liberal conspiracy theory.
Right, right... times have changed. Liberals (like you) are still trying to peace-police leftists to protect your oh-so-precious status quo.
Dangle that slender thread of hope, liberal.
ROFLMAO!
Again... this is your brain on liberalism, folks.
I guess you haven't heard, eh? The left has always been radicalized. That's what us leftists are, genius - RADICALS.
Good lord... the liberal brain-rot is coming out of your ears so thick it must be stinking the place up.
lol you're losing it, kid. You've got nothing. Thanks for all but conceding defeat. Just lay off the weed and get through school before taking on the bourgeoisie, mmkay? Keep making those firearm execs rich, you little capitalist!
Maybe invest in a bucket... you don't want that stuff all over the floor now, do you?
