    You’re saying collective action with firearms is needed. Which, as I already showed, is probably doomed to failure.

      You haven’t showed anything. You asserted. And i brought up the black panthers as the counter argument.

        It was not a counter argument because the black panthers were not fighting back against a genocidal regime, which is what queer people are facing. If Jews marched around Nazi Germany with guns, they would have just been picked off by snipers from rooftops.

          Are you saying if the lgbtq community formed a militia and walked around american streets, they would be gunned down by snipers? We are not at that point yet, so a militia like the Black Panthers is needed. But if we are at the point where the government is sniping its citizens, then we would need an insurgency.

            If by, “we are not at that point yet,” you mean that it’s 1932 and Hitler is going to take power in two months and then it will be too late, sure.

            then we would need an insurgency.

            Then, as I said, it will be too late. There were plenty of insurgencies against the Nazis. They didn’t work.
