    Relying on their sympathy, and the hope to replace them with a better government without using force, are absolute folly. They’re fascists; making those things not forthcoming is like their whole schtick. Small arms won’t defeat them in battle, but guns can make occupation almost infinitely more costly for fascists to maintain compared to willful docility

      Are you really saying US citizens matyring themselves by provoking armed crackdowns by the military is more reliable than peaceful protest? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re saying.

      There is no “battle” right now. There is no civil war yet. What you’re saying is the kind of behavior that will start it.

        What you’re saying is the kind of behavior that results in Nazi Germany and extermination camps. At this point I can only assume you’re trying to goad non-fascists into bannable speech

          I’m saying you armed Joe citizen can’t win an armed conflict against the military. That’s all.

          Victory worth having has to be won through peaceful civil disobedience, or there’s a very good chance a lot of people will die for nothing.

          I’d like to hear arguments to the contrary, but so far it’s crickets.
