Fear fear fear. This pack of flacid commies won't do shit. More "civil war" incitement from globalists. Got to divide and conquer right? Thanks for the "warning" but no one is afraid of these globalist cowards!

I don't think there will be a civil war — they can't win a civil war. The only way they can get what they want is to take control of the government and form a communist dictatorship. Once they take away our guns, it's over, they've won. Europe disarmed and look at them now: they can't speak freely, the press is heavily censored, Muslims are beheading people in the streets... All of our other rights come from the right to bear arms, and when we lose that we're nothing but slaves to the globalist elite.

It's not that simple. Nor is their propaganda and its reach.

Obviously not, but I opted to keep the comment as short as possible. It's hard to argue that the Democrats (or Republicans) wouldn't take a dictatorship if they had the chance, though.

A distinction in name and sheep's clothing only.

Exactly.

Is it me or is the revolution going to look like a sumo wrestling match?

They aren't that athletic.

More like lots of little flesh tanks riding around with automatic weapons.

Sexy beasts.

You think they aren't scary but now imagine if one of them stepped on your toes.

Perhaps it's just a bluff, and they won't kill any more people

This has been going on in Europe for some years already. You find your car destroyed, threatening graffiti outside your house, threats against your boss unless he fires you otherwise he finds the fronts broken, and so on. Cops ignore your case, might even admit there's a directive to do so.

No, it's not a bluff.

Europe's gone to shit, it really has, and the US is heading in that direction unless we do something about it. People in European countries don't have rights. They can't speak freely, the press is heavily censored, they aren't allowed to express their opinions, muslims are beheading people in the streets... That's what will happen here if we don't do something.

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

The US has already gone to shit - always was in different ways. Now it's finally in your face.

Yes, do something: Employ and share as many decentralizing sustainable self-reliant alternatives and solutions as possible. Form cooperatives now before it's more difficult or impossible.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I guess the best way to put it is that the whole world's gone to shit.

Wait until they find out the people whos lives they're destroying have actual armories and ammo caches in their homes. Take away their bread and circus, remove them from their careers and threaten their homes, take away their social standing, and suddenly they'll find out how patient the gun owners have been. They know this, we know this, and I do believe they want it.

AOC: "I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future"

Oh, like This one, which was deleted while I switched tabs to copy it yesterday?

Sorry, you silly waitress; the internet doesn't forget, and it especially doesn't forget two-bit tankies who threaten to put people on lists.

Rachel Maddow did warn us this would happen after election in 2016.

They will go after truth-seekers first and call them Trump supporters.

Many of the Dem supporters will go along or even condone this.

All the corporations will support this.

Time to make time capsules of your favourite James Corbett episodes or whatever and bury it to be found in the next century.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (11 children)

Yep. I voted third party, and Democrats keep crying that I'm a Trump supporter.

Spoiler. /s

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

To be honest, if I spoil anyone it's the Republicans, but whatever.

America was already spoiled. If you don't me asking, Green Party, Libertarian, or something else?

I voted for Rocky De La Fuente, who was the Alliance Party's nominee, though he appeared on the ballot as an Independent (because my state only allows party labels for state-registered parties).

He was also the Reform Party's nominee, and since it's the largest party to nominate him, perhaps you could consider that his true party.

He was also nominated by the Natural Law Party — and even the American Independent Party for some reason. All the other parties make sense, but not the far-right AIP, which he mostly disagrees with.

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Good gravy! I didn't know about half of those parties. I like the sounds of the Natural Law Party.

Any protest vote is a good vote, regardless of which party until they get more widely accepted and potentially "serious".

I've never really looked into the NLP. I skimmed over their platform present on their ugly website (sorry, lol) and it seems somewhat centrist. Maybe it leans one way or another, but I didn't read the whole thing.

[–]JasonCarswellPlatinum Foil Fedora 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

I haven't yet looked, nor know anything about the party, but I'm a huge fan of Natural Law and anarchism/voluntarism. It would make sense for them to be centrist and anti-authoritarian. I'd guess that's why they're repressed and underfunded.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Probably. They do seem to be center-Libertarian. Anarchism isn't my thing — but I do think the federal government has gone too far, so I'm more of a State's Rights type.
