Every social media except for the fascist safe-spaces will censor and ban people advocating for violence even in self-defense, including this one. On top of that, the FBI continues to actively infiltrate and suppress left-wing protest movements. Is it any wonder that the public's ability to organize against fascism has been effectively neutered?
I don't disagree at all, and in fact I think those are a great few reasons why we're not organizing.
But, I feel like right now, all it would take was knowing other people were there and more people would start to show up.
We should digitally tar and feather anyone who tries to suppress advocating for violence. Arming yourself is self-defense at this point.
Arming yourself is a far cry from actively doing violence. Go buy a gun, take classes, get hours in at the range to practice your aim. Be ready when the time comes. Don't make the time come.
Bring your gun to protests. Fire on the police if they try to disable you.
