Women and LGBTQ+ people take up guns after Trump’s win: ‘We need to protect ourselves’
National gun clubs field an influx of newcomers interested in learning how to shoot firearms for self-defense
You're viewing part of a thread.
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.
It would not be too late if at this point, before snipers starts shooting, that militias start to form and the minority arm up and train now. That’s why i am pushing this. And it’s never too late to fight for freedom. Just because the insurgencies against the nazis didn’t “win” doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth doing. The point of the insurgency is to “not lose“ and every life saved was worth the effort.
Okay, so who are you gathering up to train? Because just telling people your plan on social media and expecting it to happen in two months is not especially realistic.
That’s a good question. I guess the start is finding like minded people, or convincing others to be receptive of the ones that form if not get them actuated themselves. So what i am attempting now. There was that group of armed protestors that stand watch over planned parenthood clinics. They satisfy a price of the puzzle
You're not going to be able to train those like-minded people in military tactics over the internet.
What are your own experience in military tactics anyway? You don't seem to know how to spell 'guerilla' since you keep spelling it like the animal, so I'm not so sure you have much.
I generally have you in high regard here on Lemmy. We have had discussions in the past and i made a concerted effort to not attack you. I have been civil. So i will have to ask you to look past my difficulties in spelling, and my constant battle against auto correct. I have military training, but they are not necessary to effectively organize, or train in fire arms.
