So anyway
(lemmy.ml)
The ~~ICE~~ Gestapo agents, more likely.
If it comes to the point where the government is so bad that civilians have to fight against it, then the soldiers and police officers should join them.
That would be nice, wouldn't it ? unfortunately cops are lawful evil, meaning they gave allegiance to DAS KAPITAL
Yea, so here's the thing bud, those guys are there to protect the capital owners.... Sorry. Pete's right about their inclusion however not accepting if they fail to stand down then they should go too.
To answer Pete Buttigeg:
That's the point! We're not Benjamin Netanyahu who enjoys targeting everyone but soldiers and police officers.
You know those Russian soldiers dropped their weapons during the October revolution.
If American soldoers are wise, they'd do the same.
The "don't step on me" people who talk about the right to bear arms often celebrate the police and the military
Well that sounds like more people need to bear arms.
He's right, you know. If you own an AR you shouldn't slack on practice. Go to the gun range regularly. Train how to clean and maintain it. You may one day be facing people who are well trained.
At the end of the day it's almost always tactics and physical readiness and not weapons systems. You can buy an apprentice the very best carpentry tools, but they aren't going to turn out anything amazing unless they practice in repetition.

If those soldiers and cops are there solely at the behest of s despot like the current one in office then they are expendable
I’d love to see some reports of “gun toting Americans” blasting the shit out of ICE agents. The problem is ice agents and gun toting Americans are the same group.
I have noticed that ICE usually wants to conduct their splashy raids in areas with very low gun ownership, e.g., NYC, Boston, etc.
We're not all in the same group... I'm not an ICE agent, but I am a gun toting ~~American~~ working class person.
that's a fucking lie. there's plenty of armed leftists. not enough (yet) but plenty.
join us. there is no other way to stop the dystopia from spreading.
He thinks he's talking to conservatives, playing on their "thin blue line" sympathies. But like every other rank-and-file Democrat, he has failed to read the fucking room. The right-wing in America showed us on January 6th 2021 that their support of law enforcement is purely conditional, and will be revoked the minute they don't get their way. And the Left? We always hated cops.
His message reached zero people.
Where does ICE fall in this paradigm?
Target practice.
Well, the gun would certainly improve my chances in the battle against fascist cops and soldiers. Political resistance is proving to be a failure. The Dems are already thinking that Kamala (proven failure) is our best chance against Trump 3.0 in 2028. No third-party will be viable by that date.
political resistance includes strikes, protests and mutual aid. oh and also guns when (because its just a matter of when in the us) it comes time for it. libs are just doing it aimlessly, start listening to the socialists and you won't even need to elect anyone to get shit done.
also its cute that some people think you are likely to see another election in 2028.

Waiting for people to wake up. At this point I am not sure they will.
This is only a problem because Americans continue to support Democrats. Unfortunately, we need to be even more clear that their corrupt and ineffectual politics are no longer desired than we did in ‘24, because the bozos are pretending they didn’t get the message. The corporate Dems work tirelessly to enable disastrous Republican policies all the time, usually at the behest of their common donors - they should just stop the charade and switch parties.
In the meantime, there are efforts to get leftist 3rd parties off the ground. This Is our only hope to “vote” our way out of fascism, and yes, I’m aware it’s a minuscule chance of success. People typically don’t vote their way out of fascism, historically speaking.
It took me a moment to realize it was about AR as in AR-15 the gun and not augmented reality
It would be cool to see an arrow with a pig emoji pointing at police out of uniform.
awesome, so no innocent people will get hurt
Your terms are acceptable.
It also involves the fantasy that you and your freedom buddies will survive a serious encounter with US armed forces because you have camos and tactical boots.
Well, based on the average marksmanship displayed by most American shooters, those cops and soldiers can probably expect to go about their business with absolute safety.
Their fantasy is specifically a David Koresh moment where the ATF and FBI come at them for fucking children.
