They’re afraid!
I think the health insurance companies are actually taken by surprise by the amount of people who sincerely wish them death. Maybe we will see some almost-meaningful change soon?

Hmm, seems an American problem needed an American solution
I’m starting to think the whole “Violence is never the answer” is just yet another propaganda piece of the rich
It is 100%. Max Stirner talked about that in the 1800s.
I never understood how our country - proudly founded through the uprising of the downtrodden to overthrow their oppressor with violence - could ever honestly think that violence is never the answer. Our national anthem has a stanza specifically dedicated to the rockets and bombs “we the people” used against the British.
Yes. Yes it is, it has been for years and years. They figured out that if they get us to believe violence is inherently bad and should never be resorted to, then they can safely ignore us. It starts early too, with that complete crock of shit about ignoring bullies making them go away.
Violence should never be the first solution, but the threat of it needs to be there if the first attempt fails, and resorting to violence should happen as soon as it becomes apparent that nonviolent methods are not being regarded in good faith.
The lemmy.ml in my name for a reason. My realization moment was while I was in the military ironically enough.
Aren’t the admins of that instance a bunch of statists who support the government having a monopoly on the use of legitimate violence? As a communist, drag can’t support any ideology where the means of production are owned by an elite class of government officials rather than by the people.
I have not experienced that. But I agree with your position otherwise

I would argue that’s an issue of perspective, were I to post things that are hypercritical of western propaganda on world, I would be and have been banned there too. Managing propaganda is not the same thing as the claims made above.
Nowhere in that link was there claims that only the state has a monopoly on violence.
Edit: And I have absolutely been critical of Russia on their communities. As for the China critiques, I imagine they’re tired of the same western propaganda ad nauseum
“Violence is never the answer (when it suits the rich)”.
If this action is repeated, expect to see stringent gun control laws in record time.
I believe the answer will still be ‘come and take them’, and I don’t think Cletus is gonna disagree.
I will cover my guns in cosmoline, wrap them in wax paper, and bury them in a pelican case in the desert before I turn them in or let them be taken.
Thatta boy, Cletus.
Republicans love to forget that as governor, Reagan was very pro gun control when black people started arming themselves.
Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
If they try for this, the applications for concealed permits will plummet.
Lol inspired me to make this:
American elites when they witness second amendment used against them instead of immigrants and queers.
I chucked though this would mean that the American solutions are…short-term? Headlines will fleet, the ruling class will become a little bit more vigilant. And then shit will return to business as usual. Unless this sparks a mass movement.
