Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

      I mean, you see something terrifying, I see something that works. Armed demonstrations are a tried and true tactic for all kinds of militant activism.

        Yeah, no, that’s the point. You look at a barbaric demonstration of a completely broken down society and see something that works. That’s horrifying.

        You effectively saw some guy walk into a subway holding his erect, exposed penis in one hand and a machete in the other and went “hey, that guy found an empty seat right away, I think we can all learn a lesson here”.

        That’s nuts. It’s weird that you don’t see how nuts that is.

          No that’s nuts because its a fucking subway seat.

          I do recall Nazi Germany was defeated by a shit ton of people sitting in the streets and strong letters.

          You seem to think something that’s scary can’t happen in a western society. It does, humans are animals and when the other side is more violent and has no morals, there is no reasoning with them. They’re there to oppress and use violence.
