Agreed! While I don't deny that some individuals within law enforcement try to do good, the institution as a whole only exists to serve the interests of the ruling elite and their capital

Fascists don't need to buy guns lmao, they just need to put a job application in to their local police force.

You don't seem to comprehend just how ingrained facism is in American law enforcement, and how militarized our police are in pursuit of their role as protectors of capitalism.

You want us to vote? We have tried, but between the Democratic Party sabotaging Leftist movements and Right-aligned officials bragging about rigging our elections, that seems a bit of a naive approach.

Until change is made, minority groups in this country need to be able to defend themselves.

So first you equate Leftists to "conservatives afraid they can't do a fascist coup", and now you're telling me to "change the status quo instead of surrendering to it"... What is it that you expect, exactly?

Nah dude, you're just being an idiot

American leftists, like myself, arm ourselves because we live in a country where our rights and the rights of those close to us are being eroded day-by-day by an administration that, quite frankly, wants us dead. For us, firearms are a necessary tool of defense
