I keep coming back to that the right, chuds, groypers, nazis, libertarian gun nuts, etc. are just nihilistic assholes who want to see people they deem as the other suffer. They actually don't believe in anything, i.e. gun rights deep down, but publicly they will say they do to fit in, but when push comes to shove, if dropping that inflicts punishment on the other then they will engaging in some absurd replies that makes them look like clowns.

If it wasn't Trump rallying up these freaks someone else would have done it. And it's all rich because this administration for a little bit was pursuing people it deemed nihilists when the call was coming from inside the house the whole time.

I hope this makes sense, as I'm not a smart fancy pants boy, but I see the writing on the wall here.

there are a few of those people but the issue is they don't go online or do anything

I think that, to the extent that they exist, they only do go online. But it still is still becoming obvious that that was never a serious or consistent movement, such that not even 2% would stand up for gun rights or being opposed to federal agents being allowed to arrest or harass people with no reason other than them being federal agents.

of course, libertarianism (speaking here only of the neoliberal kind, not the fascist kind) is deeply rooted in individualism. they won't stand for anything because they don't believe in that sort of thing. at best they believe society will collapse and they'll need guns to protect themselves as individuals like dirty harry. i was just speaking ideologically. ideologically they're opposed to the most obviously fascist police killings. obviously as a movement their individualism renders them dead on arrival
