      Think it’s about time you americans stop the macho talk and fantasies, everyone knows you can’t back it up.
      If there’s any positive in the fact that shitty country is drowning in guns then it would be the possibility to fight fascism.
      But as always they talk the talk but never walk the walk. Weakest docile and pacified pussies on the planet.
      Put on your cool tactical gear and invent some nice interpretative dance around your AR.
      Or take it with you next time to vote harder.

        It takes time to organize resistance amongst a pacified and stupefied populace. Unless you are suggesting lone wolves start shooting randomly, only to be immediately captured or killed by the state, effectively ending their resistance?

          The second part of that sentence, is the reason for my statement, that it will not happen.
          It didn’t and time is not going to fix that.
          Where is that organising or even credible groups that would do that?
          They are basically going to cry online until 2028 and that’s it.

            Trying to unseat a democratically elected president is not going to have enough support. Now if he tried to serve a 3rd term you might see the idea of violence gain traction. If a Democrat president tried to serve a 3rd term there would definitely be some violence coming from the right as well.

            But for now, most of the pacified masses are comfortably under the illusion that the government is still for the people. The price of everything is starting to cause doubt, but the wakening is very slow. In the US the real struggle is a class struggle, Dem vs Rep is mostly a distraction.

            There are several leftist groups that have really ramped up their organizing. The PSL is explicitly building a Marxist vanguard party, the DSA has seen dramatic membership increases, and more.

            A successful revolution doesn’t need a majority of the population to support it if the organization and strategy is there.

                That’s why they’re focusing on organization right now, to build up the power to lead a revolution. Obviously there is no successful revolution right now, it needs to be built.

              dramatic membership increases

              That is a few 1000’s.

              There simply isn’t enough left-wing.
              And if they did try something the Blue MAGATS would rather fight them than the fascists.
              I’m sure there are a lot more clueless people feeling ‘radicalised’ and think they’re going hardcore by following Bernie the Sheepdog or AOC.

              I feel sorry for the few percent worth saving but pragmatically I’m glad it came to this.
              It’s accelerating the inevitable decline of US power and the Blue MAGA get a taste of what they do to the rest of the world constantly.

                Well if you want to resign yourself to pessimism that’s your prerogative, but don’t kid yourself that you’re any different from the whining American leftists you’re complaining about.

                  That’s realism.
                  And I’m not whining, I love to see that country go down faster under Trump.
                  There are a handfull of people worth saving, 97% or red or blue MAGAts.

        Trump was elected. Why are you acting like he took over the country in a coup?

        I fucking hate Trump but all these ignorant fucking non-Americans don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

          Quite the projection.
          My reaction isto the Blu MAGA commenter and his violence fantasies.
          Those are youre people, weaklings crying online.
          And even more projection is calling non-americans ignorants.
          Unlike you we’re not politically illiterate and we would never be in the pathetic state your banana republic is in.
          So go cry to them

        The vast majority of guns are owned by fascists, there simply aren’t a meaningful number of armed leftists (or liberals).

        If you’re advocating for random leftists to start attacking random federal agents that’s a terrible idea and will do nothing but provide an excuse for the regime to ramp up oppression.

          That’s your imagination.
          I’m talking about organised revolution, but that’s something you’re not capable of.

          It comes from the word pusillanimous, not vagina.

          Thanks for the anti-American bigotry by the way, you’re so enlightened.

            99.999% of the people who use it insultingly mean vagina, so what the other 1 person thinks it means or where it came from is irrelevant.
