So maybe armed black Panthers should show up to defend the voting stations?

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yup.

Saw a video a week or two ago. Cops roll up. Group of Black Panthers are heavily armed on a public sidewalk. The cops tell them to leave. They say "no". The cops leave.

It's a whole hell of a lot harder to oppress people who are heavily armed and in groups.

There are far more polling locations than ice agents. Even if they selectively pick the purple ones and deploy every agent they're unlikely to end up with more than a couple agents at each.

I guess that also means those agents either don't get to vote or have to do early voting.

Eggs and water balloons. We should start with that now. What are they going to do?

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Shoot back. We outnumber them.

If fear repels you, they win. There is no glory in death but if you fuck em up first. What are they going to do, die again?

So you out there shooting ice? How many you killed so far?

“You didn’t shoot someone yet? How can I possibly take you seriously.”

This is the argument you are making and it’s preposterous.

If you're criticizing people for not doing something you're ostensibly unwilling to do, that's the preposterous argument.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Otherwise fuck off criticizing people who don't want to die.

That's with a royal 'you' since I know you're not the person they responded to.

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 months ago

The problem with that argument is that people who have done that aren’t here to argue with you. You are stuck with those of us who haven’t been imprisoned shot and killed yet.

Your gatekeeping basically means nobody can be taken seriously until they are no longer capable of making their argument.

That exactly the kind of shit Nazis push.

I live in a nation that doesn't have ICE. And I am not going to solve it for the americans. Plenty of guns per person, have at it.

I do like the Black Panters. They got the gist.

When a Republican tells you what they're going to do, believe them. There will never be another fair election in the United States.

What does ICE have to elections? Shouldn't they be at border or something?

I don't know, why are they going to the Winter Olympics in Italy?
