If you’re a Russian trying to fuck with us, fuck off.

Assuming you’re a legit US citizen: try talking to your fucking neighbors before you start to talk about shooting.

Everyone on the Internet seems like they’re arguing with strawmen.

Violence only in response to violence. We want to solve this without bloodshed. Only those who wish our country harm wish for a civil war.

What rights are you talking about taking there? Shooting rich people for the “right” to their money?

What the fuck? These days it’s like nobody understands the Golden Rule anymore. Just hate, kill, and insult whatever offends you. Surely that will lead to good results?

The fuck do you think the US revolution was? You think the starving peasants gave a fuck about taxation without representation? Or tea in a fucking harbor?

All rights are won through diversity of tactics. Some of the most effective campaigns for gay rights came from our moms just talking to people about what it was like to have gay kids. Add that to violently forcing the state to stop being so brutal in their oppression of us and years-decades of working with and within the medical and legal establishments to hamper homophobia in those realms.

You get similar shit elsewhere. Eco-terrorism has had less explicit gains than environmental lawyers, but without the militants the assailants to our planet just do it mid lawsuit and pay the fine later. The black American civil rights movement had pacifists and militants.

Force alone doesn’t create a movement, just a war if you’re lucky enough to get the people to support you.

This rhetoric makes me sad.

History is filled to the brim with rights won NOT through violence. What you say is objectively wrong, though it caters to anyone suspectible to populism.
