    Easy for someone protected by white institutions to say. I’m not a fetishist, and I don’t believe that I stand a chance against a modern military (my weapon of choice isn’t the made-up “assault rifle,” but my bolt action). The reality is, I’d rather be dead than go to a camp or be tortured/raped to death by fascists.

    Take your disgusting, privileged ass bullshit elsewhere.

      Preach. I’ll die on my feet before I serve on my knees. A good bolt action will almost guarantee you’ll take a few with you. Right thru their body armor.

      The thing about values and integrity is that these things aren’t up for debate. My decisions been made, it is part of what I consider me, outcomes be damned. There is no future for me separated from my values. I accept whatever peace, wealth, misfortune, violence or death that that brings me.

      And modern war, by the time America is involved, boots on the ground, will be over as soon as it starts. You really think a sufficiently equipped, advanced tech military like ours is gonna roll thru street by street, house by house.

      Naw man. It’s gonna be all artillery and then kill all life sweeping murderdrones. If you don’t know several ways to mask your IR emissions, right now, then you’re already not a serious combatant.

        Right, but doesn’t the second part contradict your entire point? If it’s over before it starts, then that just kind of backs up the argument of the person you’re arguing against? I’m not making a point either way, just a third party observer…

        I agree that a modern military would fuck us up in no time. Which is why a bolt action rifle would be useless. Is that not exactly what the person above was saying?

        You are both saying the same thing.

          I just want to make things clear:

          They are using systemic racism as an excuse to rub their… “barrel” over some death cult fantasy about the end of the world.

          I am calling anyone who would use racism to justify the constant innocent deaths in this country to widespread and uncontrolled firearms a delusional monster.

          And they still seem to think they are going to HOLD THE LINE with their bolt action (I hear Ziga at Polenar did okay with one when he was larping a few months back…) rather than probably just shoot a kid when they get antsy after watching too much of whatever propaganda they get off to.

          Now, if they were looking for suggestions on cheaper and less destructive ways to commit suicide then…

        Thank you. I’m not saying I seek violent confrontation, that I’ll win violent confrontation. I’m saying there are lines that I’ve set, where violent confrontation is the only option. I’m a proponent of nonviolence where possible, and I do believe it is possible, though where it isn’t possible, I’d rather die than be subjugated. Artillery or gunfire, I’ll take the death on my feet because the other options are horrific.
