American Militia Members. Where the hell are you? THIS is what you exist for and you are doing NOTHING!

Edit: I've only heard "defense against tyranny" as justification for these militias by these militia

We were assured that the guns were there for protection and the many thousand child-sized coffins were just the cost of freedom; A trade-off because tyrants were lurking right outside the door.

Now a tyrant has taken over with barely any resistance and it seems that all those children died for nothing.

Shameful.

Maybe we just didn't let enough children die... 🤔

if you count urban terrorism, we have Atleast three groups. All of them communist or communist in name.

I'm responding to groups self identifying as a militia, and that claim to exist as a check against tryanny. For what is worth

Have been for a while. Probably for ever. True of probably any country.

To be clear, authoritarianism is rampant on both sides of the aisle. The gross resistance to even basic right wing ideology is proof of that (which to be clear I'm not calling Trump basic right wing). Hell the fact you're calling for violence is more proof.

Left and right, people want to force others to believe what they believe period. If you don't agree you get attacked.

We need to stop "fighting" each other, and start listening to each other. Then, instead of fighting amongst ourselves, we can unite against the common threat. Oligarchy, and plutocracy.

Why should I listen to someone who wants to dehumanize my existence?
