The middle east is in a bad place largely do to empire fuckery not folks arming themselves. I simply disagree with the whole eye for an eye shit, especially when it comes to fascists. If you could defeat a fascist by shoving a thumb up your ass the world would be a far better place. Authoritarians of all stripes fascist or not can only be truly dealt with via violence or the implication there of.
Pacifism is simply a cowards way to claim bravery.
Yeah yeah everyone blames the British. Entire region has been madness and war for over 20 centuries.
But do go on and tell me how your school shooting machine is going to protect us all against a fucking drone targetted via satellites. Hey when that whole kids in cages thing was going down why didn't you use your school shooter to free those kids?
I was refering to tbe mongols, Baghdad house of wisdom my beloved.
Also I aint calling for use of firearms against the US military thats suicidal. Im calling for the use of firearms against shistain neo-nazi marching into cities and the cops if they try protecting them. It worked during the union wars to teach scabs, sheriffs, and pinkertons their place.
Also id of loved to storm one of those border patrol prisons and gun down those sonsofbitches, but sadly enthusiasm an army does not make. Part of the reason I call for increased armament is because I hope to see the resurrection of groups like the first black panthers, the anti-bund militias, and the old union militias. But my reach is limited since im just a random leftwing SoCal redneck in fucking San Bernardino, I am surrounded by dipshits who would welcome the fucking nazis.
So...your solution is to disarm everyone but the fascist and turn them into cattle just like the nazis did in WWII? That's your solution?
