I mean…when we say guns, are we saying they own 120 AR-15s? Or are we realistically saying that certain gun owners like collecting even rather useless guns? Like most gun owner wishlist are having an AR, AK, 1911, Glock, a revolver of some kind, SKS, Mosin, PS-90, etc. Once you got one gun, it’s like “yeah I mean I can have fun with just one gun, but it’s funner to larp as a Soviet soldier with an AK, and also 1911s are objectively beautiful guns, and also yeah 1911 is a pistol, but a Beretta 92 FS would be cool because it looks cool and is in a bunch of movies, and you know, even though I have 2 pistols, a Glock would be nice because it’s practical and utilitarian and those other 2 pistols are just for fun, and also i can makr glock perfection memes, and now i want a civilian version of an MP5 because that shit looks sick in the movies I see it in, and also I’m a fan of Stargate, so fuck it I’m going to get a civilian version of a p90 too, and also you know what else would be cool? A revolver, maybe two of them, one for my detective larp and one for my cowboy larp. And shit, I’m interested in a shot gun too, for self defense of course, so let’s get a Mossberg! But damn the KSG bull pup shotgun looks so sci fi and cool, so I’m gonna get that too, and also wow some double barrel wooden stock shotguns look beautiful! I want two, one that I can afford to rough it up a bit with for hunting, and one really beautiful one, because why not!”

Like a few of the guns above are practical for combat and or revolution or what not because of their ease of fixing, customizability, etc. But a lot of them are redundant and bought because of some cursory historical interest/larp/coolness and alot are just for fun.

Part of it is trying to keep up morale. If you feel so beaten down that you won’t do anything, that’s just as bad. Not everyone can get motivated from the bleakness of a situation or from difficult and almost impossible struggle. For those of us who are, it feels like finally we’re fighting some actual great evil, of whose evilness justifies ANY means of defeating it. It feels exciting for us, I’m guessing it almost like a form of that bloodlust that those who get captured by the enamoring power of war feel when their country declares it upon another country which they view as evil.

People should realize a lot of the EXTREMELY LARGE 1-3 day protests, should really just be a means of networking and actually creating more dedicated hardened resistance groups.

People need to form Left Wing Militias NOW. The foundations of a armed fascist resistance movement/insurgency can’t be put off till the last minute. Armed protection squads for Zohran would probably be good too.

Reminds me of the Theresienstadt Ghetto: https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theresienstadt_Ghetto

Was this the child who missed his chemo treatments and was showing remission symptoms?

I think most people know about her through her fox, Finnegan the Fox

Can’t judge distance anymore either.

There’s a meme out there that goes something along the line of “Nothing Ever Happens”. This line of thinking is poison, as it doesn’t take into account incrementalism. The fall into fascism isn’t a single large step, it’s many small steps until one day you’ve realized that you’re no longer in the same place that you were, and that now, you’re lost.

Btw, I wouldn’t call what’s happening in LA a “riot”. What’s happening in LA are protests.

I’m just hoping they didn’t bring their phones. Btw, if you go to a protest, don’t bring your smartphone.

I would recommend getting armed if this were to happen…just in case.

An with the new basically enabling act having recently passed…this brings on a whole new meaning.

Yeah I was like, “In danger of? Bro it’s already happening”.

Sigh…at least Apple is getting screwed over though. They’ve been impeding right to repair for a long time, perhaps their karmic debt is finally catching up to them.

I mean, you could probably solve this shit by restricting the types of phones used to dumb phones. Phones only capable of texting and calls. Perhaps some basic access to school websites and Wikipedia too. Everything else default blacklisted.

IS IT MAN! I BE SEEING THE STATE OF OUR NATION TYPE SHIT, AND THIS SHIT AINT GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION DAWG! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Breathes in, breathes out

Now that that’s out of the way, I think it still is too. Just… because our president is saying this shit, normalization is bound to happen.

Wasn’t it considered, socially, to be Neo-Nazi shit to say that white genocide was happening in South Africa? Like I distinctly remember a while back, that if you said this shit, you would get weird looks at the very least, and people would question as to whether you were a fucking Nazi.

Anime girl backgrounds are mostly waifu/waifu veneration culture in the anime fandom sphere. Otherwise if motherfuckers were setting full on hentai doujinshi panels as their backgrounds…holy shit, that would be wild and bring up a few questions as to the mental health and porn addiction of the individual involved, unless it was some stylistic repeated Ahegao face collage of some sort for the memery.

From what I’ve heard, there are “Japanese Nationals” only spaces. But there are also many (if hazard to guess a majority of these locations) places that, due to their lack of English skills, put signs that mean to them “Japanese language only”, that is to say, they the proprietors of said location can only speak and write in Japanese, and therefore if you try to speak to them in your language, will not likely be able to service you properly. Some of these places will try their best to service you and let you in as well. Granted there are also places that will deny service if you don’t speak any Japanese, and that is ridiculous, but I’d like to think those places are few and far between as well.
