    Problem:

    The people who have argued hardest for the ability to buy things like that and actually do it and have hoarded the weapons already are the racists

    So if we try an unorganized attack of any kind, we give the insane motherfuckers who want Red Dawn to happen a reason to start unloading. I’ve personally seen some of what these crazies have stockpiled, that is not a can you want to open

    We’re basically fucked on using weapons until those guys are hurting enough to be on our side, which might be too late to matter, anyway

      Ukrainians stood up to what was thought to be the second strongest military in the world at the time, with little more than styrofoam and gasoline.

      And if they kill all the workers and soldiers who will be left to fight their wars and make their goods?

        thought

        Pretty key word there. Also: US military is significantly bigger than the next few in line combined, another good reason a revolution isn’t simple. Oh, and we’re fuckin huge with large spaces of nothing, which is another problem

        And if they kill all the workers and soldiers who will be left to fight their wars and make their goods?

        The large chunk of people who actively support the facism & their offspring

        That was standing against an outside invader. Americans don’t have the same luxury.

          Seem to have lots of excuses though. To each their own I suppose. My country will stand up with less. I’ll be one of those doing it should it come to pass.
