Your terms are acceptable.

It also involves the fantasy that you and your freedom buddies will survive a serious encounter with US armed forces because you have camos and tactical boots.

Is that even happening? Considered US police and various letter agencies are basically at the level of open warfare against the population i would imagine population of such a liberty loving country would fight back...

Do you expect individuals to go up to their local government and let loose? What do you think the result of that would be?

That's not how resistance movements work and never has been.

You must build first. Read history.

Yeah, Americans love to fantasise about their beloved 2nd amendment (regardless of political persuasion), but they have never ever used it for what they (falsely) claim it was intended for.

Yeah that's not exactly true though. You ever heard of the Battle of Blair Mountain and the Cole Wars?

Their fantasy is specifically a David Koresh moment where the ATF and FBI come at them for fucking children.

Had a different ring to it in 2018

Everyone should own a copy of Guerilla Warfare by Che Guevara.

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Everyone should study Che. The Goat. Yes I'm biased.

Ngl I do get the arguments against gun control in the abstract, and I'm maybe even sympathetic to some of them, but then I look at America and ehhhhhh

Good argument against republican gun nuts at least who seem to be quite fond of law enforcement
