I won’t believe the left is actually seriously preparing until I start seeing some Onion links around. We’re probably on a list just for using Lemmy, which is notoriously leftist, and talking about this stuff publicly, unveiled, with a registered account is honestly below Hegseth level OPSEC

Citation needed.
But, more important, why does every motherfucker shooting their mouth off about this think that you win a fucking civil war by just going out and shooting things? Like, does nobody get that attacks need useful intelligence, planning, logistics, transportation, and it can’t be out in the open, you gotta either fight it guerilla, or you’re just dead.
Exactly the point of everyone who ever pointed out that your guns are completely useless if your government ever goes off the rails.

I tried joining some leftist movements on tor, but they wouldn’t let me in without a referral. i have no idea how to get a referral.

Sorry, I forgot they were supposed to provide you personally with a detailed overview of their plans on a public forum lmao

I wasn’t the one who used the “the armed left is preparing” argument in a public forum. I just consider it a stupid argument to use if there isn’t any evidence that that is happening.

You know that words mean things and you can’t just use them randomly because you don’t like what someone said

After what happened to Fred Hampton, I doubt the armed left are going to pop their heads up publicly unless they’re ready to do something and know they’re not going to get whacked immediately.

Afghanistan beat the US army with rifles and IEDs

Well, the other side of it is that it doesn’t matter how good your planning and logistics are if you only have rocks to throw when you get there
Nobody with a lick of sense ever said that a civil war against an established and well equipped government was going to be fought on battlefields, lined up and infantry vs civilian infantry.
And it takes more than guns, as the Iraqis and Afghanis showed. But calling guns useless in a revolution or civil war, much less as a resistance or insurgency is just stupid.

I feel like it’d have to be a lot like Vietnam, with vets communicating 1 on 1 with soldiers, convincing them not to side with the government (trump has marginalized vets, after all). A military coup would be the best case scenario here. You convert his military, you remove his power.

Guns are pretty much giving the government the excuse to just shoot you as a crazy gun nut (or extremist group,…) and shoot you without any morale repercussions in the people they use to do so and without any PR nightmare in the greater population for them.

They’re already abducting and deporting academics on the flimsiest justifications based off social media posts disparaging Trump and/or Elon. We’re past the point that they need to label people something as heavy as gun nut to justify their actions.

The alternative being?
taladar@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Non-violent protests in large numbers would be one option. It is much harder to get the military or police to shoot a crowd of a few tens of thousands of unarmed civilians, especially when it is people from their own communities. And when you do it anyway you have a very hard time suppressing it in your and the international media.
