American Militia Members. Where the hell are you? THIS is what you exist for and you are doing NOTHING!

Edit: I've only heard "defense against tyranny" as justification for these militias by these militia

If you expect your enemies to die fighting for your beliefs while you sip a latte and post memes then you're unfathomably fucking stupid. Right wingers care about stopping communism. Guess whose job it is to stop fascism?

I think you misunderstood the point.

Everytime I've seen someone an American militia discussing its purpose, defending against a tyrannical government is overwhelmingly given as the reason, from what I've seen when they are being interviewed.

It appears to me, who is not an american, that there is no other possible explanation for what's happening in that country right now. Like it's not even a debatable fact from what I'm seeing. The Dems bend over backwards and support this regime seemingly everytime they have the chance to opposite it, CR resolution as but one recent example.

So if both parties are in cahoots, and these militia are by their own words the check to this exact situation, why are they not acting? They didn't have to start with guns blazing, but I'm not seeing it hearing them in any way doing the thing they say they exist to do m

So as my post mentioned, I directed my question to those members for someone to respond. I haven't seen any comments here that claim to be from militia members.

It's not my flight as i don't live there. I'm not at all claiming what you said and this is a disingenuous argument that tells me you didn't understand my question.

Because they don't believe the rules they impose on everyone else should apply to themselves. They are shameless hypocrites.
