That’s not the situation in the US. The vast majority don’t want a christofascist dictatorship. The army decides who wins any revolution. You don’t beat the army, you get it on your side. Most of the members of the army don’t want a christofascist dictatorship, either, and the leadership definitely don’t want one. If the Trumpists try to take up arms to install Trump as dictator they end up in prison or dead and the US survives.
There’s a distinct difference between 400 million people who don’t want to live under a christofascist dictatorship and 30 million do think they do. The reality is that there are a very small number of people who are willing to continue to live out their collective fantasy after they see someone standing beside them lose their head to a 7.62 bullet. Everything changes when you’re on a two way range. The attack on congress was ended when a single bullet ripped through the chest of a single traitor and everyone thought, "Holy fucking shitballs! They’re shooting white people! They’re going to fucking kill us! "
The problem with collective fantasies in echo chambers is that no one ever says, “They’re going to be shooting back with more powerful weapons. How many of us are going to die and what will happen if we lose?”
You never lose in a collective fantasy.
We’re not taking about our farmers. We’re taking about christofascist Gravy Seals. The vast majority of the population don’t want the US to become a fascist theocratic dictatorship.
It’s scary outside the collective fantasy of your echo chamber.
That is utterly ridiculous. Literally worthy of ridicule.
The peasant and knight could see each other. They had to be within a few yards of each other. The US government could take you out from an airplane 10 miles up and you would just end without knowing it was coming.
But, as I say, by all means, bring it. The rest of us would like to have it over and get on with our lives.
So you think that the difference between a farm implement and a sword and armour is the same as the difference between an AR15 and a B52 wirh a ninja bombs, an A10, and a helicopter with side mounted mini guns?
Well then, by all means, have at 'er.
In the 14xxs the balance of power was fairly even. They didn’t have B52s dropping ninja bombs or A10s or helicopters with mini guns. Gravy Seals will die if they take on the government.
If the government had wanted him and his people dead they would have been dead. The only reason they weren’t was that the government showed restraint. If you think they could have won had the government decided to end them you are delusional.
The balance of power is dramatically different now.
Then the people had long sticks with sharp points, the government had long sticks with sharp points.
Now the people have AR15s, the government had B52s that can drop Ninja bombs from 40,000 feet and kill you while you’re having a cigarette on your balcony.
But by all means, get out your AR15s and give it a go.
They is an important lesson in this. Taking up arms against the government has two possible outcomes.
You end up in prison.
You and up dead.
You are one person with a small number of consumer firearms. The government can show up with a virtually unlimited number of people, with bigger guns, and weapons up to and including tanks, helicopters, and precision guided bombs.
Whatever collective fantasy you have about you and a group of friends overthrowing the government with your AR15s end up with you in prison or dead.
My coworker? He’s not my thing but I think he’s very good looking.
Hehehe. He not my thing.
I recently sent a note to an old acquaintance that I hadn’t seen in over 10 years. 30 minutes later she said, “We should get together”. We did. It was awesome despite the fact that we are both nearly 60. It was slower and lower impact but still great.
For years I had a coworker that I fucked on an almost daily basis. I miss her. Now I work from home and my nearest coworker is a two hour drive away and is a man.

The Satanic Panic is back? The whole drag queen story thing ran its course and they couldn’t come up with anything new so they went back to the Satanic Panic? What’s next, satanic messages in music if you pay rock music MP3’s backward?
Stop your honking, Nancy. I know. I was calling people who claim to be alpha, “weak ass bitches.”
If you have to tell people you’re an alpha, you’re not.
I didn’t say anything about gun control. Nothing. Not a single word.
I’m talking about the Gravy Seals, Y’all Queda, Meal Team 6 who think they can use their AR15s and ill- fitting, mismatched surplus store body armour to overthrow the government and install the Mandarin Mussolini as dictator for life. Get wild end up in prison or dead and the US would be better off for it.
