@vonnieda @HeavenlyPossum @thomasjwebb I hope the responses to this show you the types of clowns you will encounter on Kolektiva. I’m not sure if it’s a Russian troll farm, the biggest collection of idiots this side of a Trump rally, or a combination of both.

They tell people not to vote… then when that leads to fascists taking power, they say violence is the only solution. Self-fulfilling prophecy from keyboard warriors that will never take up arms in a rebellion of any kind. An absolute clown show, and not the funny kind of clowns.

I didn’t say that buying guns was a solution to the fascist takeover of the US. That’s a problem that’s wildly outside the scope of individual action to solve. Someone asked me what they should do and I answered, wisely and correctly, that they should buy guns.

Maybe you should try reading what I actually wrote before misportraying my words and accusing other people of gaslighting.

@HeavenlyPossum @vonnieda @thomasjwebb @mls14 Buying guns is extremely unwise. The risk of death by gun violence increases massively when somebody in your household owns one.

I oppose anybody who tells others to buy guns.

@vonnieda @thomasjwebb @mls14

The risk of death by gun violence when fascists take over your country is pretty high too, whether you have a gun or not.

@HeavenlyPossum @vonnieda @mls14 guns aren't for everyone. This article is addressing different points than were made here. Key things to consider:

A) arithmetic fallacy
B) the dynamic world

Throwing all guns, people and deaths into a bucket and saying things about the bucket gives us important info but can't speak to your situation. Self-harm is contingent on your mental state. Safety is contingent on your measures such as safes and regular training.

@thomasjwebb @HeavenlyPossum @vonnieda Having a gun in your home substantially increases your risk of death from a gun. People with guns are at higher risk of being harmed by a gun than those without guns.

That’s why I know those pushing for people to “buy guns” do not care about others’ well-being.

It’s a smart-ass response from people that gave up on the idea of self-government and think everybody else should too. Sorry, but the adults in the room are CURRENTLY working on ways to solve this without violence. And the Kolektiva Keyboard Klowns (KKK for short?) are cowering and clowning telling others to buy guns while they sit back and hope to pleasure themselves watching the ensuing violence.

@mls14 @thomasjwebb @HeavenlyPossum @vonnieda

Anyone who considers themselves one of the "adults in the room" (and especially those who publicly assert this while explicitly denigrating others with a ridiculously broad brush) are just as bad as fascists and I cordially invite them to eat shit and die.

Noooo you don’t get it, they’re working on a plan but it’s also secret but also please don’t think about the fact that these are mostly the same people who did nothing at all to stop Trump or his consolidation of power.
