Americans don’t have HALF the balls. Cowards to the last.
100% this.
The well regulated militia in the most armed country in the world is just the typical exceptionalism story. Talk is cheap but when it comes to act, americans are just little bitches. Hollywood can whitewash the history later.
Folded like a lawn chair the second a dictator pops up to pry every past remaining bit of wealth and power out of our hands.
For decades the American left has been, on the whole, anti-firearms. There simply are not enough of us who own and train with guns. If/when a civil war happens we lose. And that's before you start taking into account drones and surveillance. People keep making fun of the 2A but seem to conveniently forget that damn near half the electorate just ceded the power of arms to the other half out of fear.
Statistics say no.
At the end of the day it only takes a Luigi.
66% of Republicans vs 41% of Democrats and 45% of independents. I still don't like those numbers.
What do you want me to do? I'm fucking out there protesting. Shit I'll be at another rally today. I wish things were different but I'm not a coward and I'm doing what I can. I'm sorry.
So you’re … going to parades.
Just what are you doing, mighty keyboard warrior?
Okay, if this was happening in your country, what would you do that would actually stop fascism?
Oh, don’t worry- we’re all aware it’s coming to our country. And we’re armed.
I love how every time Americans are challenged on their lack of urgency, the response is always to pull a tu quoque, though. Never fails.
Your answer is you’re armed? Does that mean you’ll shoot and kill the bad people who rise to power in your country?
Does he think Americans aren't armed?
