And disarming the working class while fascism runs amuck won't do a damn thing for them.
Meanwhile, your "working class" is armed to the teeth and fascism is still running amok.
The left is notoriously unarmed while the right is the reason our gun ownership is so high. At a time when the right threatens to take more and more away, this feels like a poor choice. Personally I agree with a very prominent leftist that the working class must be armed, and I feel that as those on the left we need to see the writing on the wall. The united states does not appear to be going a more peaceful direction, and if we want to keep having any rights for the workers at all we need to be ready to frustrate any attempt to disarm or otherwise neutralize us. In a world where the right does not threaten to take guns from trans folks or keep us from using our right to organize, we can talk about gun control again. Sadly we are sliding away from that so fast that I can't imagine where we will be at the end of this presidency.
We can still talk about sensible gun control. Key word being sensible.
Heh. The left talks about their guns less. They don't have guns on their Christmas cards with their kids as part of their identity.
But there are plenty of leftists with guns.
No it fucking isn't. Democrats have ensured that.
How?
Making people think they don't need guns.
Ok buddy.
You're right, we already have a goal. There's no way we can do 2 things at once or one after another... Just impossible. Thank you for your insight.
