I see someone else telling you to set the example of what you preach, which you deflected by linking to other conflicts and uprisings in different countries which you certainly had nothing to do with.

How the nazis lost WWII:

They were flanked by the two biggest global superpowers who had formed an ad hoc alliance specifically to combat the nazi threat.

Nazi Germany started from a position of weakness, and its imperial ambitions outpaced its ability to maintain a frontline. It's a bad analogy from a military strategy standpoint.

The US is already firmly established from coast to coast, and has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. It's not even comparable. Better to ask how the roman empire eventually crumbled.

I thought you said you're a black panther. Are you telling me there's less than ten of you?

We can all say "Well I would take action, but everyone else is being a coward so I don't have enough comrades." So why are you being smug about other people not doing enough, when you haven't done anything yet either and you even claim to already be a member of an armed group?

Like, don't wait til you recruit 10 million people. Set the example with one successful operation, it'll make headlines and then people will join your movement. Nobody's gonna join some wannabe upstart without a plan, there's already plenty of those...

And how do you plan to do that? This cancer is metastatic.

That's fine, we don't have to disagree in order to have a conversation

Eh, close enough but thanks for the correction.

Luigi was a lone wolf. How many lone wolves would it take to dismantle the military-industrial complex and the police state?

Cause that's what it would take to topple the current structures of power. And then the real work begins of building something new. How would right and left agree on what kind of system replaces this one?

Not replacing it with anything isn't an option, unless you want the world to be run by crime syndicates. Someone needs to keep the underbelly controlled, or else the underbelly will keep you controlled.

Contrary to what most americans would like to believe the problem isn't so simple that throwing guns at it will solve everything. It's never that simple.

I agree with you completely and I've been calling it out for years. People treated me like I was a crackpot for saying things like "infinite pursuit of growth is neither possible nor desirable." Or "life isn't a zero-sum game and a system that's built to uplift everyone is better than a system designed to maximize gains for a few."

Clearly there aren't many leftists around me, or at least the ones who are hate me for different reasons. Maybe because I said MLs are authoritarians and no better than maga. I like democracy, it's capitalism that needs to go. The Nordic model seemed to work just fine until right-wing propagandists invaded Scandinavia.

Oh, I also compared capitalists to cancerous growths, and that made the oligarchs feel so oppressed. Maybe that's why billionaires these days are comparing themselves to holocaust victims. Those poor billionaires... won't anyone think of the shareholders?

Are you forgetting that it goes "a well-ordered militia..."

A bunch of scattered people with their own firearms is not the same thing as a well-ordered militia. Winning wars requires organization as much as it requires logistics and personnel.

The left is so rife with infighting that they'll never unite enough to organize militarily behind a common cause. Can you imagine a bunch of wannabe anarchists trying to form a chain of command? It almost seems worthy of a comic.

And the armed right actively support this fascist regime, so they won't be much help either.

Yeah, some militia. Really instills confidence and makes one want to go fight and die beside one's comrades /s

Even one is enough to kill a lot of people. A laser that can destroy them in orbit is an ideal solution.

Greedy bastards will never be satisfied.

It would be profitable for them if they get the taxpayers to cover all their expenses while keeping the gains for themselves.

It would be evil, but capitalism doesn't care about that. They only care about what's profitable, even if everyone else suffers as a result.

And the WMDs were a lie, but that doesn't change the reality for Europe today, which is that russia is still a threat at least until their economy collapses and their federation dissolves.
