    In the states it also varies a lot. You have groups like the the socialist rifle association, but lots of american leftists are also anti-gun, there’s a range of views on the subject.

    I would guess its the majority of american leftists that are anti-gun, but I could certainly be mistaken







  • There is no overcoming this mess without them escalating. If you approach it correctly, their escalation can be used to reach more of the population and get greater public buy-in, which is needed to win.

    But there is either being ineffectual and they only escalate as they find new minority groups to target, OR you legitimately challenge their power and they escalate faster and hopefully you can leverage that into a public image problem that they can’t ignore, and the regime looses their critical mass of support.

    From there resistance efforts can escalate without loosing as much public approval. But there’s no way out of this where they don’t kill a lot of people. Thats the nature of a fascist dictatorship. It would necessarily have to get worse before it could get better.









  • Was curious why they described them as awkward

    If you haven’t heard much about Obama’s comments, there’s a reason for that. He chose to deliver them at an event at which audio and video recordings were prohibited. If the idea was to disseminate this clarion call to the broader public, it was a weird choice of venues.

    Obama never uttered the word “Trump” once. Throughout his remarks, it was clear what he was talking about. But he opted for broad generalities rather than specifics about who and what are threatening democracy.

    It seems possible to me he wanted to address people who are involved in our government moreso that the public, but 🤷‍♂️
