FYI:

Libs of TikTok is a handle for various far-right[a] and anti-LGBT[b] social-media accounts operated by Chaya Raichik (/ˈxɑːjə ˈraɪtʃɪk/ KHAH-yə RY-chik),[10] a former real estate agent.[11][12][13] Raichik uses the accounts to repost content created by left-wing and LGBT people on TikTok, and on other social-media platforms, often with hostile, mocking, or derogatory commentary.

she’s one of the few people i would classify as literally evil

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 58 points 2 months ago

“Chaya Raichik” isn’t a good aryan name. It sounds foreign. I say this cause who she is as a person and who she associates with seems to support fascist and ethno-nationalist ideals.

I hope she gets everything she voted for.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

I hope she gets everything the men who support the same politicians as her voted for.

Honestly it’s good for the MAGA crowd to see that normal people in America are armed too. They see themselves as wolves among sheep, while the masses are armed only with their useless empathy and critical thinking skills.

And a Defend Equality sticker on the stock! Super based. This person has an open invitation to all my backyard cookouts next summer.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 84 points 2 months ago

Good, every progressive should be armed. Its like the literal reason we have the second amendment in the first place.

I find it kinda amazing that they act shocked that Transpeople are arming and antifa is showing up armed when these motherfuckers have been brandishing firearms at their gatherings since literally forever.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 50 points 2 months ago

“The second amendment is essential to protect against tyranny!”

…Right wing takes over US government and immediately starts attacking and marginalizing trans and other groups…

…trans and others start carrying guns…

“Not like that!”

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 30 points 2 months ago

To conservative white mean, tyranny means having to pay an income tax to support social programs, not being allowed to marry 13 year olds, or the government pushing renewable energy over coal.

To other groups, tyranny has a slightly more real meaning.

I have historically been pretty pro gun control because my life had seen the US generally becoming more socially progressive and supportive of marginalized groups (whether that was truly the case is another question), but the last 5-10 years have me seriously walking back on that stance.

I remember when conservatives turned against guns because the Black Panthers armed themselves against racists

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 months ago

That's when American gun control began in earnest. Like many things, the authoritarian approach is rooted in racism.

"someone other than us bought weapons???"

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 50 points 2 months ago

GOOD. UNIRONICALLY.

this is what we need. Parity. Like guns or not, you need them at this point or you're just going to be under the boot without ever having the tools you needed to fight back.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 49 points 2 months ago

Armed minorities are harder to oppress. Stay strapped people. We're not even a month into this shit yet

[-] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 42 points 2 months ago

I can tell they mean it negatively, but they make it sound like a great time to join the protest.

Marginalized groups should bring more weapons to protests, then maybe we could get some god damn gun regulations like back when the NRA was against the black panthers brandishing them in public.

[-] VerbFlow@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

Under no pretext shall arms be surrendered from the workers!

Reminds me of something a friend of mine said to me as a joke.

"Looks like Trans Rights is over, you know what that means?"

and I said

"Fascism is coming for us all and we're truly fucked?"

She then showed me a picture of a gun and said

"No, that it's time for Trans Wrongs"

It was so badass that I never forgot it.

I give this the usual "I don't condone violence, but if anyone fucks around they deserve to find out..."

"Show kindness, be patient, but take no shit."

Now, as an average libsoftiktok follower, where do I call in the bomb threat? The gun owners house for owning the transgender gun? The gun manufacturer for making a transgender gun? The NRA for not making transgender guns illegal? The state capitol for allowing the transgender gun on their grounds? Or nowhere because there's evidence of the thing actually happening?

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 25 points 2 months ago

"I want gun rights!" "no not like that"

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Every minority should be armed

Make it clear to every Trump supporter that their fascist rhetoric leads to us shooting them in self defense.

Tell them to snap out of it and confront reality when they clutch pearls about you fighting back.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

I was really hoping for something more impressive than a sticker.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 27 points 2 months ago

Something more like the Hello Kitty AR-15?

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago

Yes! Guns deserve more colors than black, blued steel, and wood.

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's so pretty! 😻

Edit: Oh, I thought I was in noncredibledefense. I'm not normally this shitposty about guns, I promise.

I am all for this wave of "Pink Panthers" arming themselves. Hopefully it will lead to some actual gun control laws, because it scares the cowardly fascists.

Ugh. I still hate guns. Guns kill people and the US obsession with them will never make sense to me.

But at this point it's probably good that it's not only the supporters if the lunatic fascist oligarchy that are armed. It hurts to admit, but I'd rather see a Nazi shot dead than a decent human being. Heck, if I were in the US I might learn how to shoot a gun at this point.

[-] CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago

Marx said workers should be armed. That sentiment didn't come out of nowhere; shit like this is the reason why.

I don't get the take here.

Is this bad because....they had a gun?

Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?

Aren't they all for gun rights?

[-] prayer@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago

They're for gun rights within the scope of their interpretation of the constitution. It's starts out "We the people" and when you don't consider someone a person, you don't consider them to have those same rights.

[-] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

You make the fatal flaw of thinking there's reasoning behind their beliefs. They make up reasons to justify their beliefs. These reasons are always narrow-in-scope and context-dependant, but are often presented as generalized statements. They will change their argument to suit their aims.

FYI there's an organization called the Socialist Rifle Association. They're kind of like a very inclusive version of the NRA I suppose. I found out about them through a short documentary on youtube called Arming the Left.

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

FUCK YES!! Arm the fuck up. The rights not correct about much but a good guy with a gun can indeed stop a bad guy with a gun
