Oh, no offense taken. I'm not one of you - I just like you and your community so I try to contribute how I can without violating rules and shit.
I don't disagree with your analysis and time is probably more accurate.
Sorry for the late reply, I had hotel jail for the weekend.
Trying to take it over is at least fucking with the establishment. I'd rather them waste political power going tit for tat than fucking us.
Use their good will until then and there won't be an easy way to implement gun control against the left. Fucking red flag laws might be weaponized, but nobody pays attention until fucky laws are pointed at them.
You leave my boi Bastiat alone. His views on rights are what allowed me to be led me out of a strict propertarian mindset. There's always a 'but' in reactionary rights analysis that fucks them out of not just funneling money up to capitalist or political classes.
I originally come from a right-libertarian (ancap) background with personal ethics much closer to the left. Still feels awkward admitting I'm just a weird left anarchist of some sort.
Any honest analysis of our system based on individual rights should agree with most of your conclusions, even without the left analysis. You can't have laissez-faire markets in an economy tuned towards capital accumulation. You also can't do much by shooting a single CEO in a system tuned to turning people into sociopaths while calling it career advancement.
Elon might do some good with the USAID shit, but only unintentionally. It's hard to tell what's humanitarian aid and what $50m USD for condoms is just CIA money laundering imperial shit.
I'm rambling now.
This is such a "rights for me but not for thee" take. Dismiss anyone you disagree with while only valuing your own feelings.
Everyone has a right to defend themselves, their family and their community.
I haven't met many pro-2A peeps that are against the left or minorities owning firearms. Most seem to loudly support it, actually. Taking responsibility for your own safety is generally a good idea.
Seriously. People need to understand they can shop around for an instance that fits them better.
That is the shortest chain and ultimate goal. Peeps can group up, but still have to be able to handle the risk they take on. Once people become chess pieces or statistics in an org there's no way for a human to consider them as individuals, regardless of that person's psychology - the structures we have turn good people into monsters as surely as religious zealotry.
There's a reason it's somehow profitable to have trees of businesses larger than some cities when nobody in any of that structure makes a fucking thing.
I'd be interested in seeing what things would look like if we didn't let people offload liability to society.
I'll eat a goatse cake if need be. Cake is cake
I was curious how you guys would take it, but there's no really good substitute that gets across what I wanted. I figured someone would say something if they considered it an issue. Edit is meh, but gets the point across.
From what? Most of the attacks against him come from behind him.
