Don't make me tap the Sartre quote. Fascists don't make sense, they don't have to make sense, and often they don't want to make sense because that undermines their point. Trying to gotcha them on that is a waste of energy.

the difference, of course, is that he was armed in defense of the status quo. it's barely even an ideological contradiction to a chud. 2A rights are to protect their conception of amerikkka, it's always just a team sport thing.

He wasn’t though, he was armed in furthering a right wing movement. He was trying to change the status quo by making it worse.

Just because right wingers call themselves “conservatives” doesn’t mean they actually want to conserve things as they are, they want to change things for the worse.

Conservatives don't even know why they are called conservatives so I wouldn't listen to what they think about things. They think being a conservative is something different and opposite Liberals. They are by definition, Conservative Liberals. Because Liberalism is the thing they are being "conservative" about.

Conservative liberals are just a lib that is one step closer to admitting they are a nazi. They want to preserve the social order that capitlaism demands, as capitalism is not an economic system but a SocioEconomic system and it does demand certain social things. Enter "conservative" Liberals. Nazis are just libs who drop the pretense of humanity/decency and reveal that the order demanded is a ethincally homogeneous in group with a ruling class, men, then women, then everyone else. Patriarchy isnt an accident in capitalist countries, neither is the subjugation of women. The nuclear family is part of the social order btw.

All in all, the status quo defenders do want to make it worse from our perspective because we have strayed far from the order demanded by this system. We had a brief period of "progressivsim" and then came the reaction. The return to the status quo, one that you and I may never have experienced due to that brief progressive period is happening. And its a bad thing. The thing that capitalists want the most is rolling the calendar back to the late 1800s, early 1900s.

(Reminder that women couldn't open their own bank accounts without a man cosigning in amerika until like 1974. ) these are the things these status quo defenders want. Subjugation.

Everybody read The Grapes of Wrath. Thats a capitalists wet dream. "Take the 25 cents a day, cause theres a hundred workers behind you who'll do it for 20 cents."

No, see, he wasn't protesting: he was protecting property. Keeping people from being killed by the government isn't what the 2nd Amendment is for. It's for making sure Target doesn't have to file insurance claims.

In a just world we never would've heard from this little shit again after that day.

Chuds carry guns to right wing protests where I live and it's illegal in my state for them to do so. Cops don't care. If you want to open carry without getting shot wear a maga hat.

In 2020, chuds in my state pre-protested the election by gathering in the backs of pickup trucks with their guns and their “fuck your feelings” flags. They did little parades in neighborhoods where they wouldn’t get a lot of resistance. That’s illegal in my state, and no law enforcement bothered them or even said anything.

Wild shift for her to say that it's legal to kill cops and ICE if they show up at your peaceful protest.

I wonder if there's a mirror universe whe rittenhouse has an IQ in the double digits and he killed a cop instead. I bet that version of him is president
