Once again, political violence stems from Republican ideology.

      “Why aren’t Americans doing anything?”

      Those are trolls trying to cause chaos. It’s obviously suicide if anyone does what the trolls are telling them to do.

        It’s sort of why I’m vocal when I see those comments pop up. Remind them that it’s a stupid position to have to start with, anyone actually planning to do something knows what OPSEC is, and they know any action has to be extraordinarily precise, not just shooting at feds.

          But it is a valid counter-argument to the validity of the second amendment. Even if you got a thousand or two of your well-armed friends together to topple the tyranny, you would likely only win the battle and not the war.

      Euro-Lemmings believe both that Americans are recklessly married to vigilante political violence and also that they don’t do anything ever, it just depends on whatever belief, at any given point in time, allows them to whine about the US.

          Yeah I whine about it a lot too, the point is that there is literally no action an American can take that’s correct. Do something? Rash, juvenile, doomed to fail, too violent, they should have large protests and walkouts instead. Protest in the street? Too civil, pointless, also doomed to fail, why aren’t Americans taking up arms by the millions to kill the government. Every action is the wrong one.

            Maybe, just maybe that’s different people with different opinions and you’re lumping them all under one umbrella?

              Hmmm, almost like that should be the approach with large, continental polities with a plethora of regional political subcultures in it.

      He was just exercising his Second Amendment rights! And apparently the right to bear fuel as well. Maybe he just wanted to talk with his hero about the pizzagate evidence he’s sure must be in those files someplace. I’m pretty sure we only have the officers’ word he brandished the gun.
