Your opinion that the Left is nothing to fear is a really stupid take.

Nobody wants to be the one to kick off a Civil War, but once it starts, and all government systems break down, TV broadcasts start going off the air, phones get sketchy, jobs start closing down, money stops flowing, and food gets scarce, we will spontaneously flip to a Robin Hood Economy, and you'll see just how dangerous the Left can be.

If stores don't have food, or people don't have money to buy it, they'll just take it, and after that, they go to the rich neighborhoods, and loot them next. Then we'll see if anyone fears the Left.

Nobody fears the left. There's no reality where the left succeededs when shit hits the fan. Leftist turn their nose up at people who prepped and armed themselves their whole lives. We're on lemme because most of us couldn't handle reading comments or seeing posts we didn't like. I can't express how fucked anyone on the left will be if society collapses in the way you described. They are extremely unprepared.

It's kind of my point about control online narrative vs protesting. What's the sense of protesting if you can't even muster a defense of your opinions online. Protests are extremely high effort and energy requiring tasks which are extremely hard to be successful. Posting online is much easier to create awareness. But the left failed to control online spaces but jumped to telling everyone to protest while mocking anyone saying they should focus on digital spaces.

The left is struggling to get any wins. Trying to succeed in a collapsed society field with opposing groups who lived their entire lives dreaming of that scenario is not going to go well.

Nobody fears the left.

Good. They'll never see it coming.

😆 I love the attitude but it is terrifying when you see what these people look like who are the loudest and angriest on both sides political. One side is a 300 lbs cop who beats his wife and kids and the other is a noodle armed 28 year old in skinny jeans who never got a driver's license because driving is stressful

Judging people with sweeping generalizations is what got us here in the first place.

But it's true. We need to cut the fucking bullshit. Live in whatever fantasy you want. Reality is that what I said isn't some made up. There is a clear difference between the left and the right and until the left wakes the fuck up, they're in for a ride awakening if they ever try to go the route of violence
