There's video of them executing citizens. I have doubts about this plan.
Yep.. Those executed citizens were within immediate reach. Can't be close enough for the fuckers to catch you. Always have an escape route ready.
My brother in christ we need cardio and guns. Wtf were you doing in history class?
Please, can we start using "brother in strife" instead of associating people with that blood cult?
Noooo guns. Guns gets the military involved. You and I will not win once that bridge is crossed. It will give Trump and the fascists an excuse to declare Martial Law and turn us into a real police state.
While it's romantic and fun to imagine going all Punisher on the chuds in ICE, that's not a real end game you want to aim for.
I WAS paying attention in History class. We're not in the 18th century anymore, so the notion that anything will be changed with violence.. is rather.. well.. Lemme just leave you with the thought that what can come down will crimp almost every aspect of our lives in ways you definitely will not like and it will start with the internet and phone.
(also, do pay mind to who's got the access to heavy gauge fully automatic firearms, and who does not.)
And WW2 ended with "noooo guns"..? I've got my meshtastic and armaments. How long are you going to ignore the fact that this all gets so much worse before anything gets better? How prepared are you for the days to come? One of us is waxing poetic, certainly. Try harder to write the last poem, eh?
Love.. I'm armed.
I just don't advertise or agitate because of it.
Homegirl is not MAGA.
The US Military couldn't beat the Taliban. Russia couldn't beat the Taliban either. The biggest weapons do not always matter. Guerilla warfare works.
You're dealing, in the case of the Taliban, with a people that were devoutly religious, and living in extreme conditions of hardship, poverty and depravation well before the Soviets rolled into that country. Their lives alone, made them capable of out stubborning western militaries.
Americans by and large aren't used to such marginal modes of living.. we're not, at all.
Guerilla warfare won't have any lasting power.
Americans want their comforts, their internets, their cell phones.. We are a bourgeois country and that won't change until we go into another Great Depression.. now THAT could set the revolutionary foxes into the social henhouse - but it needs to come from disastrous policies made by the people at the top, so they bear all the blame.
That will get political winds blowing in a different direction.
