  • Armed resistance, or any kind of violent resistance whatsoever, should be the absolute last resort.

    I don’t think anyone here is arguing against this, we’re just saying it’s time to be prepared for if that time comes because we won’t be given advanced notice.

    We have a government controlled by people dedicated to consolidating their power and ensuring they won’t be opposed. Unidentifiable armed thugs are grabbing people off the street and shipping them to torture camps.

    I sincerely hope this can be resolved peacefully, but the reality of the situation is we have to be prepared for if it can’t be.

    Obviously don’t fire the first shot; but if they do, it needs to be met with a shot back.








  • Working together doesn’t mean we have to pretend our allies have no issues.

    Newsom doesn’t meaningfully resist fascism and his brand of politics are a major part of why we’re here. Yeah, I’ll stand by him while he’s fighting, but that doesn’t mean we can’t criticize him.

    We can’t afford to see him as a true ally. He will abandon everything we’re fighting for if it benefits him. A tiny percent of leftists criticizing him online amongst themselves will have no impact on how successfully the fascists are able to seize control.

    I’m out there alongside liberals who hate most of what I believe, we can be open about that while still working together. We have a common enemy that needs to be stopped.

    It means working with people you don’t like but it doesn’t mean we have to pretend they’re perfect, or even good.
