January 6 ended with a single bullet.

I don’t think they came anywhere close to overthrowing the government. Trump didn’t call out the National Guard but the surrounding states sent theirs in. Had the asshats persisted I have no doubt that there would have been a lot of dead insurrectionists.

That’s not how revolutions work. Soldiers are trained to do one thing, to kill people who shoot at them. If you shoot at soldiers there is a very high liklihood that you’re going to end up very, very dead. The only way a revolution in the US will work is if the army switches sides to support the people. If that doesn’t happen, the revolution will not succeed. A bunch of Gravy Seals in ill fitting mismatched surplus store body armour carrying AR-15s will never succeed in overthrowing the US government no matter how many childish circle jerk murder fantasies they share. What will win the revolution in the US is old ladies with pots and pans and young people with whistles. You need to get enough people off their asses and into the streets making noise and protesting. That means you need over 12 million people in the streets protesting on a sustained basis then you need the army to suppor the people.

Mine, too.
- Comment on But bro please 4 days ago:
That’s a little different. That was an insurgency, not a revolution, and they were heavily supported by China and Russia. That would be more comparable to the years long grinding insurgency that would bankrupt the US if it ever tried to take over Canada.

Sure, but they will get in that tank inside a well fortified base protected by helecopters with door mounted mini guns and Hellfire missiles, go out and kill people with piddly little AR-15s at an industrial scale, then return to their well fortified bases for afternoon tea.
The second ammendment was wirten back when the people and the government had the same weapons. That isn’t the case anymore. If you take on the government, you die. If 100,000 of you take on the government most of you die. Unless you can get a sizeable portion of the peopulation out from in front of Keeping Up with the Kardashains and into the street to protest you’re a pedofascist dictatorship for the forseeable future.

Anyone who thinks their AR-15 ga going to let them take on a tyrannical government has no understanding of how tanks work.

Not the socialist boogieman that the right uses to inspire panic among the stupid.

Yes, that’s what I said.

He’s not a socialist, he’s a social democrat like Canada and most of Europe.

Advancing policies that benefit and appeal to the voters so that they vote for you?

You were there, too?

When I bought my first PC, RAM was $1,000 per MB.
- Comment on Trump’s tariffs might actually be working as he intended 2 months ago:
Profits are down because prices are up because of the tax and American consumers who pay the tax can’t afford to buy the products. In the absence of less expensive foreign products American companies will raise their prices.
This propaganda rag has no idea how tariffs work. Foreign companies aren’t paying the tariffs. Foreign governments aren’t paying the tariffs. American companies and consumers are paying the tariffs.

My girlfriend is sometimes a turkey and she loves to be eaten. She asks to be eaten. Sometimes, when she’s really in need, she begs for me you eat her. I have no idea what the original post was talking about

I remember a time when telling the truth wasn’t considered bias by the Republican party. It was the same time when, “conservative speech” didn’t mean lies, misinformation, and hate speech.

- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 6 months ago:
I said that in a comment. It won’t catch the bulk of the abuse because it is perpetrated by wealthy, powerful, connected white people.
- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 6 months ago:
It won’t collect the statistics of the white, wealthy, and powerful who have always gotten away with their crimes because other white, wealthy, powerful people look the other way.
- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 6 months ago:
The only problem with this idea is that it is designed to record sex crimes against children by non-wealthy, non-politically and -religiously connected, non-powerful, and non-white child sex predators. The wealthy child sex predators, the politically connected child sex predators, the religiously connected child sex predators, and the powerful child sex predators who are predominantly white and birthright citizens will continue to cover for each other or be moved from parish to parish to continue their child sex crimes as her have done for hundreds of years.
- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 6 months ago:
To show that the vast majority of child sex crime in the UK is committed by white, birthright citizens of the UK?

- Comment on You want to see the difference between real government and fake one? Let's talk about the floods in China and the floods in Texas. 7 months ago:
The local government refused $10 million in federal money for flood control and warning because, “Biden bad!” When they eventually accepted the money they gave most of it to the sheriff, the same sheriff who took more than 90 minutes to send out the first flood warning after being asked and four hours to respond effectively by which time it was too late.
Hundreds of ore died because political dogma was more important than actually leading.
