Shootout to Palmetto State Armory. Great, cheap ARs.
One mistake trump made was allowing an armed proletariat.
He can only fuck over his base for so long before they start to get angry, and a lot have already noticed…
The 2 guys that tried were actually his own supporters. When he starts actually effecting things and pissing them off, it’s going to get ugly.
Yuuuup, hopefully for him
LOL, made the mod mad. Well, we all know how to read [removed by mod], since mod was kind enough to draw attention to the post.
Apparently talking about self-defense is “Advocating violence.” I guess if you’re a total pansy?
Yo mod. Blacks, women and LGBT folks have been the largest gun purchasing demographic for years now. Got anything to say about that?
They’re close, but not quite there. Any government(democratic or otherwise) requires participation for it’s legitimacy. If enough folks decide to stop participating in a critical mass, the government falls. That’s why mass protests and general strikes are so effective and why governments really don’t want people to understand they have that nuclear option and will do anything to prevent people from organizing for it.
A great deal of the modernization of finance and policy enforcement has been about pre-enforcement. You get your IRS money taken out before it hits your paycheck. You don’t speed in a neighborhood with speed bumps because it immediately fucks up your car. Your ability to access your office space or bank account or the electricity/water that goes into your home even the ability to turn on newer models of car is predicated on a permission slip that a third party can disable with a button click.
On the flip side, so much of our daily life is alienated from the other people that make our standard of living possible. I don’t know who works at my grocery store, much less who actually picks my fruit or bakes my bread or slaughters my beef. I don’t know who provides me with electricity or water. I don’t know who is on the other side of the teller window when it comes time to cash a check or pull out cash.
Participation is mandatory because the interfaces that allow us to interact with one another are gate-kept by remote and indifferent agents. Opting out of these systems is difficult and expensive. Reaching out to people to engage in collective action is onerous and awkward.

Government administrators keep a short lease on their direct reports and underlings. Private sector administrators do, too. Organizing the people with their hands closest to the levers of power is incredibly difficult, while administrative replacement of these higher ranking bureaucrats is trivially easy.
At some level, what the Trump Admin is currently doing cuts so deep that he may actually sever his ability to impose his will on remote offices and local bureaucracies. If enough high ranking FBI admins or DOJ lawyers walk off the job, it just becomes impossible to command branches in far-flung states and territories.
But when he’s got guys like Peter Thiel and Jamie Damion in his back pocket, it may not matter. The ability to instantly fire, bankrupt, or imprison people anywhere in the country has a powerful chilling effect. The only people it doesn’t immediately threaten are the folks who have already lost too much and the folks who have managed to remove themselves from the domestic system entirely.
None of this is to say we shouldn’t organize and oppose this shit. But go in with eyes wide open. Don’t naively assume raw numbers matter in the face of a heavily automated administrative state.
Taxes due soon, think I may just forget that shit until a legitimate government is assembled.
Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemyThey cannot be everywhere, but they’re certainly trying with ever-increasing surveillance and AI to go through all that data.
Good thing Democrats voted for that every step of the way, despite people telling them what this was going to lead to.
“vote for Biden”
“No, make me”
Yeah, this, THIS will work perfectly
Could you please explain what this means? This is on par with that inbred on every Facebook post who comments “LOOKS LIKE BIDEN N KAMALER”, and it’ll be an ad for a Volkswagen.
What are you even trying to say? Like yeah, your comment parses grammatically, but I haven’t the foggiest about what it’s supposed to mean in context 🤷♀️
And voting discourse? What’s the point of that??? The election was two and a half months ago, and Biden wasn’t even running 🤦♀️
Quick question to make sure this isn’t a bot account: how many times does the letter “m” occur in the word “remembered”?
Don’t feed trolls. Block them.
What if I think they’re funny tho
Well you do you 👍
Nevermind, you were right, their comment history is pretty rancid.
I suspect we’ll have another Rosa Parks moment for the history books sometime in the next four years or so.
If they don’t burn or ban them.
That just makes it more effective.
Look at the Tiananmen Square guy.
Pretty sure there are many Rosa Parks every day. They’re either dead or encaged.
Make me do what, exactly
So, the maga crowd was right all this time? Uncanny
Hey bud, in scrolling through your previous posts it seems like you’re having a hard time being accepted. Perhaps pause before posting, take a step back from the keyboard, and consider putting yourself in other’s shoes. You might find more in common with us if you try it.
Nah, Shardik here is a trump cultist with endstage brainrot.
Well aware. Just giving them an out.
I think the point is to refuse fascism, not embrace it.
Good luck with that attitude in 1930/40s Germany or similar states. Fascist states have always dealt with this kind of people.
That always depend on how many people have that attitude.
The attitude is the product of material conditions. This isn’t some question of individualist choice but of systematic control.

Depending on the context, acquiescing and then not following orders can be quite effective as well, especially if you’re in a position of direct contact.
E.g., your supervisor instructs you to do something like take down the company DEI site? Say no, get fired… Or say yes, and just don’t do it. You forgot, it’s a cached version, etc. Eventually you have to take it down and then a month later when the site updates it’s back. Someone must’ve left it in the update package.
Be creative, be active. Anyone who wants to gaslight the world is owed nothing but deception and disrespect.

A good example of this is the Rosenstraße Protest. Nazi Germany was unable to deal with popular pushback at height of Hitler’s totalitarian power at the literal center of repression.
Fight back.
