They're fine with tyranny as long as they see it as "their" tyranny. And they'll still be blaming the gays and the immigrants when they themselves are dragged off to the gulag.

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

It's time for the democrats to take up arms then. It'll probably start a civil war again.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Like how election fraud completely disappeared once Trump won?

They ~~are afraid~~ know they will find some

[-] Burninator05@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

It's only fraud when they lose. Snowflakes don't like to lose.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 55 points 1 week ago

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Get organized, train.

It's that or lie down and take it.

I told Americans for weeks now to go meet minorities in their communities, offer to help them organize and arm. Then help them resist.

They'll fight you about it.

I've been called every name you can imagine. Told they would all be killed in the streets (very possible I admit but not the point), I was reported a lot and given bans for inciting violence. Many of those posts have subsequently been deleted. I was attacked so much I shut my original account and use two new accounts so I don't unintentionally dox myself.

Now it's pretty common to see these comments.

I thought tyranny was when the government tells you to not throw trash in the river or pays for kids public elementary?

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

They're 100% OK about right wing autocracy and white supremacy. That's been their thing the whole time.

[-] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 week ago

So if you shoot someone acting on a no knock warrant, are you in the wrong? What if you live in a state with a castle law?

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 19 points 1 week ago

Depends on the state. But if you shoot a cop, regardless of how justified, your next 10 years, should you see them, are going to suck. And the following 10 are iffy.

But if you shoot ALL the cops?

Just know that with the first shot, they are going to unload every round of ammo they have until every living thing in that house is dead.

This is that tyranny you were always talking about

Reminds me of Alex Jones; or to be more precise, of the KnowledgeFight (play on InfoWars) podcast. All through 2025 they are commenting on Alex' praise of Trumplon: "You should know that this is exactly what you pretended to be fighting against all those years."

It really shows that the alt-right and related movements were never about freedom. It's always been about the hate, mostly hate of others.

My 00 buckshot is allowed to enter ICE agents who don't have a warrant.

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Ya. I mean. They don't have a warrant. They're trespassing.

The issue is law enforcement won't serve a warrant in the blind. They do their research. They know who they're about to take down.

So if it's just a migrant family trying to get by. Sure. They'll knock the doors down guns drawn like in the tv shows.

But it you a coked up methhead with traps all over your property in rural Georgia they'll conveniently not have enough probable cause.

America is a messed up country.

[-] unphazed@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Taking notes... become a methhead. Got it. But how can I eat without teeth?

I keep seeing this nonsense being parroted as though these pigs are going to burst in while you're ready and waiting.

Surely they won't come in and kill you while you're asleep, right? No, that could never happen...

Well ... The 2nd ammendment friendly liberals are smart enough not to post "come get sum ya dirty Nazi asshats" or say how they might be looking forward to defending their home against armed trespassers (ICE without a warrant). That stuff leads to trouble, or might look bad in court.

People know this is bad. History shows this only ends in violence. There is no way to vote our way out of this, these people either get overthrown/arrested, or they get taken out by other nations world war style.

Of course the NRA has been quiet. They always do this, because they're not about to people. Do you remember when California passed stricter gun laws? Because black people were buying guns? That happened like 50 years ago. The NRA was silent then and they are silent now.

Of course it's always good to point out the hypocrisy. But let's also remember the historical context, that this is consistent with the organization's values and it always has been and it always will be.

[-] clashorcrashman@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

I'm sorry, I can't figure out what you meant to say with "not about to people," and it's driving me nuts.

I just want to say, Che-casio Cortez is looking really good.

[-] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

I wonder what'll happen when they raid a house belonging to one of the trigger-happy gun collectors

[-] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago

The homeowner will roll out with a gun and immediately be killed in a hail of bullets, despite acting entirely within their rights. No ICE agents will face any consequences, and the warrantless raids will continue. That's what usually happens anyway. The 2nd amendment is a farce; law enforcement can legally kill you for exercising your right to bear arms if they want to.

The tyranny is when they take the guns and it's too late to fight back. The tyranny is not the slow boil while they oppress the people I don't like before getting to me next. Duh. Stupid libs.

[-] 4grams@awful.systems 9 points 1 week ago

Almost got me with this one. I’ve heard the same argument deployed unironically from some of my own family…

[-] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 16 points 1 week ago

A memo from the executive branch doesn't change the law anymore than a memo from me or you can act as a change in the speed limit. "Officer, I don't have to go 25mph here, I made a memo that says I can go as fast as I want, anywhere I want. I signed it and everything. Look it has my personal letterhead at the top."

[-] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 19 points 1 week ago

That would be the case if the executive branch still cared about what the judicial branch has to say or involved the whole legislative branch in the decision making process. However, they don't and their bulldozer approach is met with very little resistance.

Or in short: Being right doesn't help you a lot if you're being right while already in their concentration camp in El Salvador.

[-] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

"You might beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride."

This memo may not hold legal weight, but that won't mean much when ICE black-bags you and sends you to a Salvadoran gulag from which there is no escape and no contact with legal services.

Because capitalism has beaten every last will I have.

It won't get better because we are, in fact, waiting to die.

Dear other countries: don't let the bastards win. They already have here.

Edit: I'm depressed as fuck, please don't let my doomsaying hurt you. Sorry.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

No I feel you. It's a bad time to be American.

[-] RoguePilot09@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I’m not being quiet about it AT ALL. This is why I’ve been trying to convince my liberal friends to arm themselves for years.

[-] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Bought my first gun ever immediately after the November election. When anyone brings up the stock market these days I tell them I'm investing in seeds, fresh water, and ammunition.

Who would've guessed that people overly obsessed with firearms and very vocal about their obsession had small dicks.

[-] VampirePenguin@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago

No one is looking to incite a civil war, even if many people on both sides fantasize about it. War is grueling and terrible and we are still too comfortable to risk it. BUT. I think preparing ourselves for the eventuality is wise. Really the best move we could make would be a general strike. It'd be a bloodless deathblow to this stupid stupid situation.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

So we should start calling ICE to report fashy gun owners are harboring illegal aliens, yes?

Maybe even illegal aliens with blogs that are critical of fascism.
