All the second amendment freaks are suddenly awfully silent. Wasn't this the exact scenario the 2A was intended for? To fight against wannabe kings?
The second amendment freaks never wanted to topple an oppressive government, they wanted to shoot their neighbors that they don't like. All that talk was just cover for "I'm a giant pussy with no social skills who can't be trusted to be part of the social contract."
Why do you think The Walking Dead was so popular? They get to pretend all their neighbors are "zombies" that they have every right to kill because they consider them (us) as unthinking monsters. It's always projection.
I'm with you until the second paragraph, lmao there are plenty of Walking Dead fans that are not gun nuts.
It's possible for multiple different groups of people to be fans of the same thing for different reasons.
Except Snot drew that line.
No, he didn't. He said, effectively, that "second amendment freaks are Walking Dead fans." That does not imply the reverse, that "Walking Dead fans are second amendment freaks."
All pines are trees. Are all trees pines?
They implied that it was popular because of gun nuts, meaning they were at the very least the majority of fans. Just seemed like a weird implication to me when, in my experience, that wasn't really true.
There’s also the selfishness of them wanting to protect themselves from the government but not other people.
This 2nd Amendment "freak" (leftist, too) fully realizes that the day I fire a firearm upon the government, I've declared war on said government. Unless I've a sizeable portion of the populace organized beside me, I'm gonna get squished like a cockroach under the heel of a boot.
I have others who depend on me for food and shelter. If I get squished, they lose that.
When the government has taken everything from me, then I'll have nothing left to lose.
As I've said time and time again, me standing up for what's right doesn't matter if I'm standing alone, because then I'm just some lone nut job dead in the street, that nobody will pay attention to.
Organized resistance is effective resistance. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
Every day the regime reminds us why organization is important.
long live luigi.
Just in case doesn't mean I actually wanted to use them, I've got a transition to finish, I'm trying to fucking make it to Canada if I gotta.
I just think dying in a gun fight sounds better than going to a camp is all.
Can we start accepting trans people as refugees, yet? It's Super dangerous for some people to just be alive in America right now, and that smells like a refugee situation to me.
