“Organize” and do what?
Form militias I guess? That’s what the 2A yokels told us to do right? Use the amendment to prevent a tyrannical government.
I don’t understand how people think this is going to go any other way. It’s that or fascism.
Not a bad idea. Ive been saying this for years, if the left embraced the 2nd amendment they would win every election. Its contradictory to vote for legislation and politicians that only benefit the rich and powerful while espousing for the proletariat. A government that does not fear its people will always become tyrannical, fascist, you name it.
Educate more.
Education never stops.
Please, the time for education has long passed. It is action within 30 days or it is a lost cause. “Educate” is “thoughts and prayers.”
MLK and Civil Rights Movement v2
Ah, you mean the Poor People’s Campaign.
(Fun fact: MLK was begrudgingly tolerated as a black rights activist for several years, but then he pivoted to working class solidarity, and – bam! – assassinated. Funny, that.)
MLK was a real one. The more I learn about him, the more I respect him and the more I understand that he would be widely hated today
He was widely hated* then.
Indeed!
Anger is more useful than despair – by Terminator
And when anger begins to wane, replace it with hope.
Thoughts and prayers.
I’m just still baffled at how so many people seem to think the same old counter-strategies are going to work in the context of “we’re turning into a fascist/kakistocratic state”. Remember: MLK only succeeded because Malcom X was the alternative, and the powers that be recognized that.
until he started speaking out about poverty and the war dead on both sides of the color spectrum.
then MLK got assasinated.
My point is that nonviolent protest movements tend to be more successful when there’s an “or else…”, implicit or otherwise.
