You know that bullshit gets tired.

People acting like the armed left isn't preparing.

Like, motherfuckers, the loud 2a advocates were all right wing. The motherfuckers this fake motherfucker is whining about are the ones backing this shit.

But, more important, why does every motherfucker shooting their mouth off about this think that you win a fucking civil war by just going out and shooting things? Like, does nobody get that attacks need useful intelligence, planning, logistics, transportation, and it can't be out in the open, you gotta either fight it guerilla, or you're just dead.

People are fucking morons.

Exactly the point of everyone who ever pointed out that your guns are completely useless if your government ever goes off the rails.

Sorry, I forgot they were supposed to provide you personally with a detailed overview of their plans on a public forum lmao

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wasn't the one who used the "the armed left is preparing" argument in a public forum. I just consider it a stupid argument to use if there isn't any evidence that that is happening.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, the other side of it is that it doesn't matter how good your planning and logistics are if you only have rocks to throw when you get there

Nobody with a lick of sense ever said that a civil war against an established and well equipped government was going to be fought on battlefields, lined up and infantry vs civilian infantry.

And it takes more than guns, as the Iraqis and Afghanis showed. But calling guns useless in a revolution or civil war, much less as a resistance or insurgency is just stupid.

I feel like it'd have to be a lot like Vietnam, with vets communicating 1 on 1 with soldiers, convincing them not to side with the government (trump has marginalized vets, after all). A military coup would be the best case scenario here. You convert his military, you remove his power.

Guns are pretty much giving the government the excuse to just shoot you as a crazy gun nut (or extremist group,...) and shoot you without any morale repercussions in the people they use to do so and without any PR nightmare in the greater population for them.
