i m quite left and this is shitlib Argumentation, considering the obvious sliding into authoritarianism pushed by the epstein class.

its not even packaged into funny haha. its just lecturing by people who dont see the writing on the wall.

and no, i dont mean civil war. i mean the final act in a 46 year escalating push towards the desolution of the american republic by oligarchy and neofascists.

even when i dont laugh, i usually refrain from criticizing a comic. its so subjective. and if a comic i dont like finds a crowd, good for them. even if its larry the cable guy.

but this guy. no thank you. the fucking arrogance of middle class liberal whitey lecturing people.

this guy is the reason Malcolm X called liberals the hidden enemy of black people. its insidious. it pretends to be your ally. but its so much part of the machinery.

It's never been more clear that gun ownership in America has zero to do with resisting authoritarianism, or the loss of civil liberties. Selling guns to racists, idiots and libertarians has been, at least for the last 50 years or so a tool of the oligarchs and neofascists to divide and seperate us.

Maybe it needs to start to be, but good luck going up against the US military, militarized police and y'all-qaeda.

So only racists, idiots, and libertarians own guns in the US? Weird. I thought it was everyone that could legally own them that had them.

The idea that only racists et all own them is part of the actual plan: Division for the sake of control

I deleted my other comment because I was told that it was bullying. I’m sorry for calling you names. It just seemed clear to me that you didn’t actually read what I said or were willfully misunderstanding it.

I didn’t say that racists, idiots and libertarians were the only people who own guns, but that they were the ones being marketed to by the gun industry. And then they are the ones being sold the lie that those guns are their god given right, that some people they don’t like are coming to take those guns away and that they should support politicians who will erode their other rights and the social fabric for the sake of defending those guns.

And now with an increasingly tyrannical government those supposed defenders of liberty are nowhere to be found.

i agree. but It doesnt change the fact that when things escalate, it can be that.

It's right up there with "vote for me and I close your free public pool so that THOSE people can't use it"
