@toast @georgia @nik @orekix As bad as all this stuff is, I don't think it's at "overthrow the government" levels. I can't justify anyone continuing to defend police in the current environment though so I have to reluctantly agree with you partially.

@toast @nik @georgia @orekix if you are a gun nut and you try to do anything, the FBI just jails or kills you. it's not going to work until there's a general breakdown of order.

@Moon @georgia @nik @orekixthe point is they're not doing *anything* about it, and in many cases actively try to justify the government's actionsthey're not sitting there like "I wish more people would stand with me against this"

@nik @Moon @georgia @orekixgun nuts: "we need guns so we can overthrow the government if it reaches beyond its intended power"government: beats up journalists, imposes curfews, shoots at people on their own propertygun nuts: "carry on, thumbs up"(the other fun fact is half the cities where that's going on are under blue leadership - it's not a partisan thing)
