There are more guns than people in the US. Guns don't stop fascism, if they did we would not be here now. Furthermore, the majority of 2nd amendment gunholes are ready to support ICE not fight them.

This meme is stupid on so many levels.

"One side has a lot of guns and supports fascism, therefore the other side should disarm, I am very smart."

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Fascism can't continue if the fascists are dead. You gotta fight smart.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I’m not sure the meme is the stupid one here, you’ve just completely misunderstood the entire thing.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 10 points 4 weeks ago

Little known fact that the Nazis were at last turned back at Stalingrad by the wittiest picket sign made in the Soviet Union. The sign, which used a mock spelling of Hitler's name, simply read "A doof, Hitler". Many historians believe that the German military never fully recovered from this humiliation.

Head cocked to the left.

Partial verbal wit in battle.

First point of attack.

Two. Eyes. Paralyse vocal cords with astute observation. Stop the speech centers.

Three. Got to be partially deaf. Shrewd retort to the ears.

Four. Finally, draw a facetious sign. Make it sharp.

Summary prognosis: Consciousness lost in 90 seconds

Martial efficacy: quarter of an hour at best.

Full faculty of recovery from psychological damage, unlikely.

We will see in four years (or less depending if anything horrifically dramatic happens). But when violence has to happen, get ready to exercise your second amendment rights.

[-] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

How is people being disappeared to concentration camp not already horrifically dramatic?

How is elected officials being arrested for asking for a warrant, or asking questions not already horrifically dramatic?

How is sending our own military and arresting civilians in L.A. not already horrifically dramatic?

Where the fuck is your line?

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Unfortunately, there is plausible deniability that allow the US government to do what they're doing. In spite of some rulings which tell Trump administration that they are wrong, there are still some actions where they have legal backing, moral or not.

Legal =/= moral.

That's just how the world works I'm afraid.

And if you see someone being taken away by fascists, make sure you and everyone else watching dont do anything except film it to post on social media. Maybe if you're feeling adventurous you can tell the brown shirts what theyre doing is bad, just make sure you dont do anything to actually stop them.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Ah yes war mobilized state of Germany with the support of majority of Germans behind it famously known to be stopped by violent protests.

[-] Randelung@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Exactly, it was the peaceful protests that did it. 🙄

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

worked out for this guy:

although to be fair he did get shot to death right before.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 3 points 4 weeks ago

Can people learn about dictators that aren't Adolf Hitler? Please?

[-] BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

You mean like the father of fascism, Mussolini?

[-] katze@lemmy.cafe 3 points 4 weeks ago

Bro thinks it's a gun fight against the US military 💀

[-] ViceroTempus@lemmy.world -1 points 4 weeks ago

It is though. The rich don't want their livestock exterminated but brought to heel. Occupation happens with boots on the ground, infantry. That means small arms, drones, and ground vehicles. Not nukes, missiles, or bombs.

Also the populace out numbers the military by HUGE margin. No force is strong enough in manpower to overcome a civilian population in a state of resistance. The US military also sucks at asynchronous warfare. Or have we already forgotten our last 20year war in the Middle East?

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Why yes keep suggesting domestic terrorism as an acceptable alternative to voting

[-] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

Why, yes. Setting the precedent that taking power by force is acceptable has never led to anything bad.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

The only problem happens if you let go of it, so clearly you need to keep it for life!

NGL with this thread comments as precedent, whatever Trump is doing makes TOTAL FUCKING SENSE

[-] doublebatterypack@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I love these posts. Americans couldn't even be bothered to get off their asses and vote, but you expect them to coordinate a violent revolution against a goverent backed by the most powerful military the world has ever seen and a surveillance state with access to just about every movement and thought just about everyone has had for the last 10 years or so.

Good luck, hopefully you don't get hit by a hellfire missile with swords strapped to it while you're sitting on your porch that was fired from a reaper drone 50 miles away.

People don't not vote just because they're lazy. Thats not how people or politics work. If the masses are not engaging with your political system it is because they do not feel engagement with it can be beneficial to them. It means are so disenfranchised that they do not see any reason to engage. It means overt fascism doesn't scare them because their lives are already too miserable or busy to think about politics and the opposition doesn't appeal to them because the only thing they offer is the status quo with the most minor of changes. People not voting should be the most obvious evidence that your political system is not working for the people.

Edit: also, no one chooses revolution. Revolutions are imposed on the people by those who make peaceful change impossible. Its gonna be fascism though to be clear. Our domestic petit bourgeois is far too strong and far too scared of losing their privileged positions.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

There’s also the people that have to chose between feeding their kids and missing work to go vote, etc, or who are disenfranchised of their voting rights simply by how onerous it is to vote.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

lol

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

So...the republicans were right all this time?
