I'm one of those in the street you dumb ass. Have been since 2016. Until YOUR eyes are burning from pepper bombs and you're choking on gas, kindly shut the fuck up. It's not fed posting to criticize the failure of the Democratic party to do anything.

You want fed posting. Here, you go!

Grow up and arm yourself. They literally just told ICE agents to ignore the 4th amendment today. Literally an official command to violate your fundamental right. This isn't a joke. Get to know your neighbors and get organized.

    Excuse me, but why haven't you started the (counter) violence yourself then?

    It's not fed posting to criticize the failure of the Democratic party to do anything.

    Funny how you think you did this, or that I was telling you not to.

    Grow up and arm yourself.

    Who says I haven't? Good advice BTW.

    Asking such a dumb question shows your complete ignorance of activism or organization. But I don't want you being turned off from it by a frustrated internet commenter.

    Maybe. I'm wrong. But you really sound ignorant. If you aren't doing anything, instead of replying with another condescending comment, do something else instead. Go search for DSA, PSL, or any immigrant rights organizations in your area and go sign up for the next available meeting. Join a meetup IN PERSON some time this week or next. Find a way to help.

    If you're not in the US. Then I don't know why you'd even reply in the first place. So, I'm assuming you are.

    Someone who uses so much untagged sarcasm as you did ought to be able to recognize when others do, especially with how obvious I made it.

    Maybe. I'm wrong. But you really sound ignorant.

    You are.

    go sign up for the next available meeting.

    And you sound privileged. I have health issues that make that nearly impossible. I donate and participate as I can through PV. Comparing your activism to others you don't even know is also really lame, and I'll bet your local DSA organizers would discourage it.

    Find a way to help.

    I do what I can, and that includes calling out posters who sound like they are encouraging violence that will both hurt the cause and get more good people killed. Maybe consider the clarity of your comments going forward if that's not what you intend to communicate.

    What exactly did I say that doesn't make sense? I think I was pretty clear.

    Ok, you support violence… I assume you’re fed posting like you accused the other person of doing

    What? No. I did actually think you were the other person though. My bad there, and that might be the source of confusion.

    I literally never encouraged violence mate. I explained a real situation where thousands of people are being given the option of (1) get brutalized, kidnapped, or killed. Or (2) defend yourself.

    That's it. You didn't like that that was reality. I don't like that either. But I understand why people will resort to violence as a means of defense from state violence. They will when all other systems have failed them. And they have. We are at the stage of SS troops door knocking for papers if you didn't notice.

    YOU want people to keep choosing option (1). (Or are just ignorant which is clearly your issue) So you're incorrectly labeling me as the problem for even acknowledging that (2) is an option.

    That's not encouraging violence. It's acknowledging reality of what happens when people are brutalized by the state. I don't want option (1) or (2). I want an option (3) the systems of state government to defend citizens. But that's not happening. They are offering NOTHING to stop people from being attacked.

    You took my criticism of the lack of any option (3) as being advocating for option (2). I'm just acknowledging reality. Are you in denial and think option (3) is "going to work later" or something? Later isn't fucking helpful when it's happening right now and (1) and (2) are the choices.

    I hope that clears it up. Because I'm not going to engage in your radlib identity bullshit you just tried to inject into the conversation for no reason.

    But, you are ignorant of what's going on in the streets. Watching a video isn't giving you an experience of reality mate. You say I'm wrong that you're ignorant of this and then literally admit you can't go out on the streets. You are by definition ignorant of the experience on the street. Like, holy shit, how can you say you're not? You admitted it right after saying I'm wrong for calling you ignorant. Like, this level of hubris is shocking.
