You got Lemmy users to go out in public? Truly you are a skilled advocate!

Foreign adventures are different. The US military won’t get bored and go home inside the US the way they do elsewhere.

I don’t see how the weapons will be useful honestly. Iran has a very well armed military and they’re almost totally powerless before the US military. Military conflict is perhaps the singular thing fascists are best at. I’d rather attack my enemies where they are weak instead of where they are strong.

I mean I’m not opposed to people being armed but it really should be viewed as a last resort to hurt your enemies as much as possible before you’re totally wiped out rather than a realistic path to political change.

Yeah the dog thing is silly too.

An organized and effective political movement is what will protect us, not weapons.

Good thing Alex Pretti was armed. Oh wait.

Regime change is pointless when all of the powers poised to take over are no better. They deserve regime abolition but I don’t see how they get there from here.

I feel like some activists tried this some year back. The problem is politicians co-opted it into “energy independence” which turned into drill baby drill.

If the US had fewer oil reserves it would be easier to make that distinction but it gets really muddy with how much we produce.

But I mean there are some modern attempts. Have you seen this meme? https://old.lemmy.sdf.org/post/17536856

I mean that’s true of every country though.

The deed of the house states you have to obey them, basically. It’s pretty bullshit.

Since 1979, they have been killing Americans. They have been killing their own people. They have been slaughtering people in the name of religion. It is time for that to end.

Sorry, which government were we talking about again?

I wonder how much this was? I live in a floodplain so this design seems like it would have major benefits!

I’m talking about modern times. Owned land is stolen land.

I don’t know enough about Māori to say much about their land management practices prior to colonization. But I know Māori have nobility so it’s entirely possible and perhaps likely that it was stolen from other Māori.

Not to minimize the harms that indigenous Americans have endured, which were obviously horrific & wrong, but all land is stolen.

No different from killing for an ideology which lots of people around here seem to endorse.

Damn you and your family are fucking cool.

Sadly that’s not even true: https://ggwash.org/view/amp/101707

Carbrain in the US is now terminal.

Like human diseases? Gross!

No way. How many people have died for “national security” vs betting markets? Even as we speak…

Fuck national security.
