This feels like a deadly misunderstanding of both the people who you're referring to (they're getting exactly the thing they want why would they try to stop fascism), and also the argument for why leftists should have been 2a the whole time.

Like, don't let the desire to be correct pull you this far into the weeds. They will never care that they're hypocrites, they just want you dead.

Broke: The Second Amendment is bad because guns are bad.

Woke: The Second Amendment is bad because gun owners are not stopping fascism like what the framers 🤮 promised.

Bespoke: The Second Amendment is irrelevant to anarchist theory and praxis, and it should be burned to ash with the settler-colonial Constitution and all its defenders. Guns are useful tools for fighting oppression, but must not be fetishized.

They also love to wave the American flag and screech about freedom. As long as their chosen propaganda outlet is telling them everything is fine and the brown people are getting a boot on their neck they don't care. My only hope is when these dumb mother fuckers can no longer afford groceries or gas they might start to wake up. But then their propaganda will tell them it is somehow the democrat's fault and throw in the word "woke" and they won't question it.

They see themselves as future fascists; temporarily embarrassed pacifists.

Its biggest supporters are fascists.

I stole and reposted it.

Here there was an image, But now it is gone, We are sorry for your loss, But it's time to carry on.

That's like 99% Helvetica Scenario, right there.

Even the wisest cannot tell.

I dunno it looks really natural to me. At least back in the Photoshop era, shrinking a face down on an angle like that would be hard to pull off (at least for me).

It is accurate and unedited, you can trust me, no need to look it up and verify

Shout out to CK for going on a personal record of not saying anything racist in over a year

"Necessary to the security of a free State..." is pretty cut and dry...

There's an argument that in terms of total human suffering in the world, eating an execution for killing Kirk is a net-positive because Kirk had an abnormally large platform.

it's become sadly far too common to see a communist claim that killing fascists isn't worthwhile.

Effective at what? Pretty effective at eliminating one odious propagandist. Sure, it's not a good alternative to revolutionary organizing, but if you're already not going to organize... might as well get a lick.

Pretty apt criticism tbh. Everyone likes to joke but for that week the shooter's motivations were the world's most fiercely contested game of hot potato. "Not ours, not ours, we condemn violence!"

I think about that now every time somebody brings up Teh Ebic Revolution and how it's coming any day now.
