Mandatory Note: Being prepared for shit to go down is different than advocating any sort of lone wolf action. Organize first and foremost. We may yet salvage something out of this debacle without an outright civil war or like burst of violence, though certainly not without brave folk on the streets physically resisting the fascists and making it impossible for them to quietly oppress the American people and make it the new 'normal'.

In either case, comrades are invaluable. Yes, even ones you might disagree with on matters other than "Holy fucking shit, the administration really dialed up the fascism"

The bullet is an option, and an option we must acknowledge and prepare for, but still an option of last resort.

Damn, now I finally know what to say to people who tell me to stop complaining.

"The soapbox is the first box of liberty"

I always understood the sentiment, but didn't have the words to communicate it.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

SBJC.

That should be on t-shirts.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (3 children)

And be smart. The administration is using ICE as bait to declare in insurrection.

Ideally the goal of showing up armed to a protest is to prevent violence, not to cause it.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

And also important for all of us to remember the "administration" is generally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics with a fuckton of money and goals embedded there among other interests. The destabilization is the point, so unification is better, but everything you said is correct

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

so far it hasnt worked at all. he was going to enact it one way or another.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can't resist the administration they might use it as an excuse to take your rights and murder people. Best to let them continue taking your rights and murdering people unopposed

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

You can't resist the administration alone, but can do it as part of armed civilian group counting millions of individuals.

Finally a sane take. Thank you

I’ve heard that special forces practice aiming for the pelvis as many of the U.S.A.’s adversaries use body armor.

The goal is to dump rounds into the pelvic bone until it breaks. Which will incapacitate their opponents and cause them to bleed out very carefully.

Did you know you are legally allowed to buy “green tip” 223 ammo. It’s the same ammo the military uses and can penetrate up to Level IV body armor.

[–] in_my_honest_opinion@piefed.social 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You want to aim for the pelvic girdle for a lot of reasons;

  • you can tell the direction of a target so you know where to lead
  • it's the main pivot of the body so it moves the most predictably when in motion.
  • it's full of arteries and will incapacitate the target which is more disruptive to a group than a kill shot as they are incentivized to render aid
  • it's the least impacted by adipose tissue ensuring full terminal ballistic effect.

But if you look at a lot of the plate carriers meal team six are wearing, they're thin, so it's level 3 body armor max. Any 223/5.56 round will punch right through.

I want to aim for the dick because I only have .22, and because I want to shoot these fascists in the dick.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Aim for base. Getting hole in the tip of penis is not so painful and devastating as getting all your junk partially ripped of.

[–] ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Green tip (M855) are usually cheaper too! At least in my area. I believe it's because indoor gun ranges don't allow them.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are far less likely to shoot people who are armed, because above all else fascists are cowards. They are scared of so much cool shit: feminism, queer people, drag queens, people of color, justice, freedom

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 18 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Unfortunately, they just shot a legally armed man at a peaceful protest.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago (3 children)

They disarmed him first.

And to any 2A gun nut that might read that - look who took a legal gun owner’s gun away. Who took the gun away? Not some dem or lib. Say it out loud.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

It was Biden’s fault.

[–] Silic0n_Alph4@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

THE FEDS ARE TAKING YOUR GUNS!!!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICANS, THE GOVERNMENT IS KILLING WHITE GUN OWNERS. YOU COULD BE NEXT.

This is the message that the Yanks need to be screaming right now.

The armed man who kept his firearm holstered and concealed? I think you'd actually have to brandish the weapon to elicit a fear response.

Dang! Ty for the correction

[–] Bullerfar@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I AM supprised Trump hasnt send Freedom of Liberty back to France yet.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 7 points 2 months ago

More likely to melt her down and try to profit from the scrap metal. There are a lot of chuds who would like a piece of Lady Liberty. 🙁

[–] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

France. She came from France.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Why does Liberty have W’s face?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 2 months ago

Welp I'm not unseeing that.

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 2 months ago
