      This is the biggest argument to show that all that big talks about 2nd amendment was nothing but bullshit all along. US is in the middle of fascist takeover, and what good their 3 guns per human brought them? Are there any consequences for fascist dismantling the very fabric of democracy?
      Turns out the only thing all that abundance of guns is good for are school shootings and elevated crime rates, nothing else.

        I feel like you should leave saying that for another year or 2. It’s understandable that people aren’t quite yet ready to abandon legal means.

              This is the whole problem. When it’s too late, it’s too late, definitionally. You can’t do shit against full on authoritarian government. You can’t do shit even if you have community. And you don’t have community, Americans hate each other more than anything, and it turned out most of them aren’t smart, so they’re ripe for the picking for every asshole imaginable to fuck them sideways.

                  Authoritarian governments very rarely got overthrown, and if they do it’s almost never from the inside. Almost exclusively it takes some outside events.
                  And if they do, it’s usually done by some powerful group like army.
                  The situations when people rise up and overthrow autocracy are so rare, it’s not worth talking about. And it also takes completely different population. Americans are ingranely conditioned to obey the power, especially those who boast about freedom the most.

          I was assured on a numerous occasions, that there are legions of armed Marxists walking around, waiting for the glorious revolution to start or whatever. I guess, it’s not exactly true either, huh
