Democrat-voting socialist here, this argument is fucking stupid because nothing is stopping the Left from also buying guns and doing what this post is implying. Y'all just want an easy target to hate and impotently complain online about, when you could also go buy a gun, organize, and stop tyranny yourself.

Fuck Trump fuck Republicans, but also fuck Democrats, including you the person reading this, for being associated with gun fearing pussies who want other people to do the hard work for you.

[–] Ronno@feddit.nl 2 points 32 minutes ago

"Including you the person reading this".

We don't all live in the US you know...

They're literally just pointing out the hypocrisy and lies of the organization but okay

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 14 points 5 hours ago

They won't do that. Every time some fucking pig uses their horse to step on a protestor they nut.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I mean, we all knew that the NRA was on the fascists' side, but what about all those leftist gun owners that kept spamming the "under no pretext" quote after every school shooting? Surely they'll be starting their glorious revolution any minute now, right?

Read this as "Cmon do a racist tyranny" at first. Like, damn thats pretty mask off, and hello welcome to the last decade...

But yeah, "resist" works too.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

And I read this as "Cmon do a racist [T slur]" , to which I say no thank you. I don't find racists attractive tyvm.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry they only fight against improving the lives of people not actual tyranny

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Don't tread on me pointing a gun at you.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 55 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's almost as if it was all bullshit to get you to donate to a organization specifically designed to enrich its officers and gun manufacturers.

[–] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 hours ago

That's wildly underselling it. The financial aspect is almost anecdotal. The 2nd amendment movement has only ever served one purpose above everything else: Arm white people to manage, deter, and even lynch black people, as well as to prepare for the eventual transition to fascism.

This is part of why the Great American Project was doomed to degenerate into fascism long decades Maga was a thing. Wildly racist violent thugs were given the sociopolitical power to establish this whole charade about "resisting tyranny" when it was only ever about minorities. Always. Even supposed liberals bought into this lie, eternal shame upon these useful idiots. Yet every time since the American Civil War where black people started actually organizing and exercising their 2A right ended with those rights gutted or those communities actually being fucking bombed. That should have been pretty telling. But Americans collectively kept up the repeatedly disproven pretense that this was about "fundamental rights".

Anyway if you can't tell recent events have got me pretty fired up about the innumerable ways in which american self-mythology has only ever served fascist agendas.

What do you expect from a bunch of terrorists?

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 21 points 9 hours ago

Oh they will rise up, but it will be on the side of tyranny.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 29 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

The same reason ruzzians don’t.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

I've said this before on Lemmy and got down voted, but this is accurate. When it comes to current willingness to fight for our rights, Americans are Russians, not the French.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Incorrect. Americans do not revolt because we are fat and not uncomfortable enough. Russians do not revolt because they are drunk and numb...because they are drunk.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

So, I'm fat & drunk = I'm a AmeriRuss?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 hours ago

Aren't we all?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 hours ago

Isn't it always?

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Growing apathy? The collapse of the USSR and their living standards falling did a number on them

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

The US is following suit.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

You can’t expect the brown shirts to resist their own guy.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 25 points 12 hours ago

Best they can do is wing a few reporters.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 23 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Uh, the average level of American marksmanship that we've seen suggests that tyranny is perfectly safe.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago

Suddenly, the storm troopers in Star Wars make sense

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

300 yards with iron sights on an AR platform is pretty tough. I'm assuming that's the shot you're referring to.

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

Note: "average"

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Might have better luck with the Marine Corps than the NRA. Either way, it won't be an organizational/top-down thing.

EDIT: some context

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

The marines were just deployed domestically (blatantly unconstitutional) and they complied with the unlawful order. They are part of the fascist insurrection.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I mean, you're right, but it's because of their demographics and proximity to the situation that I said what I said.

Few NRA members will be in any position to intervene or see the reality first-hand. Meanwhile, Marines have seen their spouses and other relatives deported in recent months. Trump was an idiot to deploy them like so, as opposed just about any other branch of the active-duty military.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

Military coups happen, that’s why Trump replaced all the generals that might stand against him

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 11 hours ago

"From my cold dead hands!"

They actually apparently want to die, not actually keep their guns.

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 1 points 10 hours ago

It's not very effective...
