Nothing I’ve said has made any assumptions about you at all. I’m merely describing your express position. You’re using sarcasm as a cheap trick to mask your inability to defend it, but I’m not sure who you’re supposed to be fooling.

Oh, my mistake. So if you don’t vote for them unconditionally then you think it’s acceptable to place conditions on voting for them. Would you say that “not supporting genocide” is a reasonable condition, or do you draw the line at something worse than genocide?

Votes for Dems completely unconditionally and demands others do the same "Why does everyone keep assuming we’re pro-Dem? Don’t they know that we send negative energy waves through our mind palaces towards zionist Dems all the time?"

“Hitler doesn’t decide whether or not Britain surrenders, that decision is up to the British people.”

“What? Then why is everyone so mad at Hitler then?”

It’s “guerrilla war,” not gorilla. Getting armed is good. But if you disagree with my tactical assessment, I’d at least recommend reading up on the movements that actually employed those tactics successfully. For example, here’s a very basic summation of the Vietnamese strategy:

We are not at all close to phase 2, we could hardly even be said to have started phase 1. There is no organized system of cells, no infiltration of organizations, no stockpiles of weapons (unless it’s very well hidden, I suppose). Developing all those things is valid, but require time and effort. And generally an insurgency should also have a more presentable public facing front.

In short, it’s complicated and if you’re serious about it you should study and think critically about how to apply it.

Unless you’re targeted, you won’t have standing to sue 🙃

A war that becomes too costly to fight is a war lost.

Depends on what you’re giving up if you lose. If you’re giving up a random colony in tiny nation across the world from you, you can throw in the towel pretty easily. If the cost of losing is that you are unseated from power entirely and left at the mercy of your enemies, then any cost is acceptable.

i am not going to accept “its too hard” as a legitimate argument for giving up to tyranny.

Valid, and not really what I’m trying to say. Just that the form of resistance we’re likely to see in the US is probably going to look different. Rather than Vietnam or the WoT, it may look more like The Troubles in Ireland, or something else entirely.

In the event of a complete collapse of the US government, it’s unfortunately more likely that the right would take power, being much better armed. The right may be able to seize power and force a confrontation anyway.

As long as we lack the strength to win a full civil war, it would be very foolish to provoke one. Which tactics are best used when is debatable, but we should keep a variety of tools in the toolbox and adapt to conditions rather than assuming a certain tactic is always best.

Yeah, but they lost in the sense that the cost-benefit of conflict on the other side of the world was no longer worth it, not an existential loss. And they were fighting people whose backs were up against the wall in a big way. A Vietnamese farmer didn’t have the option to sit around in air conditioning watching TV.

The thing people don’t realize about guerrilla warfare is that being a guerrilla really fucking sucks. Nothing is safe, you’re constantly on the run and crawling through the dirt, no security from bombs falling, no secure supply lines, etc. You need a reliably supportive population to make it work.

If you compare a Vietnamese rice farmer to an average modern day American, you’d be hard-pressed to find two people more different from each other.

I’m all for armed resistance, but it’s important to look at the specific material conditions and not just assume the same tactics will be viable.

Man you’re really out of touch with the Arab community here.

That was one organization, and does not in any way reflect the way the community actually voted. I know you’re chomping at the bit to find a reason to laugh at them and celebrate their deaths because of your sickness, but that doesn’t mean you get to hunt down one fringe group and hold them as representative of the whole Arab population.

Arab Americans are not immune to the same idiotic brainworms that infect you and most other Americans, which say if one side is evil then the other side must be good. It is only natural that some people would turn to Trump while witnessing the unequivocal evil committed by the Biden administration. Most of them were smart enough to realize that both are unequivocally evil, much smarter than most Americans are about it. Of course, this is difficult to accept due to propaganda and due to the desperate conclusions you arrive at by acknowledging reality. It is only natural that some turned to the side that wasn’t actively in the process of committing genocide, regardless of how irrational it was.

20% voted for the blue leopard and 20% voted for the red leopard, but the majority voted for the wise, rational, and correct option and voted third party. Sorry if if that makes it harder for you to get off.

They literally changed their name so as to not signal support for the guy that they campaigned for.

???

Which guy did they campaign for?

I least I’m not actively voting for them like y’all are.

My apologies, I must have misunderstood.

In that case, the best way to ensure a politician who supports a certain cause comes along is to conditionally support politicians only when they support said cause.

Not as stupid as treating the moral line against genocide as more flexible than the bounds of political acceptability our rulers have attempted to impose.

You people are dooming us more surely than anything else. Even if a democrat won every election, it would change nothing and we would still be right on track to fascism. It was your genius strategy of, “Accept literally anything, make no demands under any circumstances” that brought us into this situation in the first place. If you had shown any indication that you were capable of acting based on values or principles, the democrats would’ve known better than to think they could get away with this. Even now, you’re trying to prevent them from receiving the message that they would need to hear in order to win next time.

What a nice little rationalization you have for not regarding them as human.

Has there ever been a people more arrogant than your kind? When you look through the past, you see all these cases of genocide, not one of them justified, and you think, “Ah, but they were all stupid. I’m so smart that when I support it, it’s the only rational, objectively correct decision.” It doesn’t even give you a moment of pause. You don’t even have the decency to speak about it with the gravity it deserves. You gleefully watch people die because it gives you the satisfaction of believing in your own rightness and superiority over the fools who actually give a damn. Meanwhile, you are so shortsighted and unimaginative that you think the laws imposed by our mortal rulers are as rigid and unchangable as natural law.

Honestly, the more I talk to people like you, the more I understand religious people. Much as I dislike religion, if it provides immunization against your way of thinking, perhaps it’s worth it! Is there any way of thinking that’s worse than yours?

enjoy watching what will unfold.

You people are truly sick.

The area was levelled under Biden. There would be zero restraint either way. The limiting factors are the groups actually fighting against the genocidal American Empire and its pet rabid dog.

Glad to see they’re sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we’ll do it again if they don’t give in to the demands.

The best way to ensure a politician who supports a cause comes along is to support politicians unconditionally whether they support it or not.

And the people who think that genuinely think it’s the rest of us who are stupid lmao
