    Do you think the George Floyd protests would have gone better if everyone there had guns

        Given recent examples of how the government responds to protesters, I do not believe individuals threatening violence can convince congress to do anything other than violently crack down on individuals threatening violence.

          Cool. So your political morality is just one in which the government’s entitlement to your obedience increases in direct proportion to how willing it is to fucking kill you.

          Considering how our government responds to citizens in general, including depriving them of the Right to Due Process, the underpinning of the social contract between the populace and the state. I honestly don’t see much of a difference except in one scenario you’re empowered with a group to fight back and the other you’re being impregnated or killed inside one of the Concentration Camps.

          Do you believe it’s better to just roll over and do nothing?
