i see this posted a lot. so why don't you go do it yourself? i know why: because you KNOW that taking up arms and attacking ICE will make Trump send his army at you to kill you, and all this will accomplish is make you a martyr they can use in propaganda OR ignite a full on civil war. i am tired of seeing this post. stop encouraging people to do things that YOU YOURSELF find unreasonable to do. and if you find it reasonable, than put up and shut up and stop fucking posting about it to look cool. we'll see you on the news.

ignite a full on civil war

It's already a civil war.

Don't mistake me I basically agree with everything your saying, but make no mistake we are Germany in the '30s, whatever you are doing is what you would have done then.

We're all on the internet talking tough about it while the camps are being built...

You do know that Nazi Germany looked to the US for inspiration? They were impressed with how we handled the Indian problem. They looked up to us.

This is not a civil war. We own this.

I bought a gun, I bought ammo, I have encouraged friends to do the same and taken them out to learn how to use a firearm, as many of them had never done so before. We are organizing, we are preparing, we are waiting for the moment the first shot is fired to rise.

we constantly ignore atrocities as a species. it is not new. it is not every persons responsibility to play morality police and risk their lives to defend other people. people were not evil just because they DIDN'T fight the nazis. fighting FOR the nazis? yes. but condemning people for not fighting is fucking asinine and not something ANY person is obligated to do and I'm tired of people acting like it is

How do you know people posting that aren't doing it? It already is ignited, it's at a low burn, only because people aren't fighting back en masse yet, but in some places there is resistance going on. I agree though, "don't speak about it, be about it".

I went out, got a permit to purchase, and bought a gun plus ammo shortly after Trump was elected. I have been prompting friends and others to do the same, organizing who I can to the cause. I am no fool, one man with a gun can't solve this, nor do I believe myself to be some great revolutionary leader who will lead the nation into the future. So, instead, I promote the cause, I continue to try to organize and prepare for the eventual war that is to come, and remind people like You that You have done nothing and continue to do nothing. You can change that, the revolution does not only need fighters, but those willing to spread the message of rebellion, and those willing to do what they can to support the cause. Stand with us, or stand aside.

having fun fellating yourself on top of your high horse on the Internet? sorry, but it is not every persons responsibility to play morality police and risk their lives to defend other people. condemning people for not fighting is fucking asinine and not something ANY person is obligated to do and I'm tired of people acting like it is

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's not anyones responsibility to risk their lives, I wouldn't blame anyone for not standing up against the Nazis in 1938 Germany, but in light of what we know, it's becoming more and more impossible to maintain a clear conscience without fighting back.

I don't see it as 'condemning' someone for not doing more, just a belief that anyone capable should do more and they will likely feel regret if they don't.

Nah, we are, we are. We can just be too cowardly to do it (God knows I would be if I were in the same position). And lying about it, even if you've also lied to yourself, is a bit shameful.

you're the coward. haven't seen you on the evening news, yet here you are on the internet on your high horse talking about being brave. put up or shut up cuz you're not brave for BUYING SOMETHING and annoying your friends, you gotta actually fucking do something.

[–] DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Coward and a fool. You clearly learned nothing from the Many "lone wolf" mass shooters. Nothing ever changes from one man with a gun shooting randomly at people. I also never said I was brave, only that You are a coward, which clearly upsets you because you know it is a fact.

keep posting your Internet comments, you'll never do anything real. you are the liberal version of Meal Team Six.

[–] DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Says the "man" who can't stop responding like an angry child. I'm focusing on the reality around me, the facts of the world, while you are doing... what? Getting angry that someone else gives a damn? Pathetic.

[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

when i see you on the news then you can say you're doing something. until then, you're literally nothing but liberal meal team six annoying your friends and funding the gun lobby industry who checks notes is a big reason we're even in this position.

They might still be on step 2

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is step 2 posting on social media?

[–] DeusUmbra@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Step 2 is organizing, spreading the word of revolution. We are in the "pamphlet" phase if you will, when it is most important to spread the word of the revolution, to gather support and to encourage others to form their own militias and organize with their communities. To jump straight to violence when you have no one to support you is merely suicide, plans must be made, supporters brought in, and then the match can be lit.
