Nice goalpost shift there, going from LITERAL COMBAT back to protesting and striking, something I already participate in and support, as said in my first reply.

Nice try.

Okay, I’ll go fight back with my fuckin NOTHING. I have some kitchen knives, maybe I can do something with that. I have a car that needs to be repaired every 2 weeks, let me go ride that into battle. “The excuses are vile” dawg youre fucking vile thinking I have anything to FIGHT WITH OTHER THAN MY BODY. I AM NOT BULLET PROOF. but yeah I’ll go get myself KILLED so when the magats get to your house you can die faster too. Instead of fighting us in courtrooms and in protests they won’t have to fight us at all because we gave them a reason to kill us.

The personal anecdote has nothing to do with the people who as I’ve already stated, are already doing everything they can, short of suicide. You interacted with pieces of shit in NYC, one if the most densely populated areas of the country which produced the current president, and are basing your entire view of the country off of those people. I’m not going to sit here and deny your experience, I’m sure they were assholes. Saying the entirety of the people who want to stop the current admin are just like those people is ignorant. Saying that people should openly go and get themselves killed is ignorant. We are the minority. By numbers alone, we can be trampled over and taken care of. We do not have the might of the US armed forced behind us. You are asking us to walk into a meat shredder for fodder. It would be nothing more than a performance, then the US would only be left with the fascists currently in place. Do you really think that would be the world we want to be in, where there is no opposition? Because as it stands we have nothing. The non-MAGA cultists dont have tanks. We dont have missiles, we dont have tear gas and mustard gas. The most any of us have is maybe a semi-automatic rifle. Believe what you want, but as it stands your idea of “fighting back” is handing the country to the fascists on a golden plate.

Explain what you mean or you’ll have changed no one’s mind and preached to your own choir, that is unless that’s what you’ve wanted to do this whole time and don’t actually care what happens to anyone over here.

The people cowering and the people chanting we are the best are two completely different groups of people. The NRA is a political group made for “rising when needed”, a prime example of a group in the US chanting we are the best, but the NRA doesn’t see anything thats going on as wrong. Those of us that do see things going wrong are doing our best, but without mass suicide theres not a whole lot more we can do that we aren’t already doing. Writing and calling politicians, showing up to town halls, protesting (violent and nonviolent). I’m not sure what you expect us to do short of forming a leftist militia that will be tienamin squared in less than 2 seconds of forming. The working class as it stands can’t do much other than sit and get shot at by ice and the coast guard while waiting for a larger politician to actually fucking do something.

I mean I understand why you feel that way but if someone were to refer to me as a woman, as a cis guy I would take it as a sign of disrespect, so I feel more obliged to take the side of the people who are complaining. I feel it is somewhat relevant considering one of the projects mentioned is developed by the people in the link.

can you be more specific about what part of the community is toxic?
