Sure, but on the other hand, if they succeed, they will want a casus belli to persecute their opponents with harsh consequences. Think reprisals against the Ukrainians after the bolshiveks took hold, or how the Chinese communists targeted the conservative segment of Chinese society when they took power. I just feel like with anonymous online forums, there’s all sorts of fake accounts that post calls to violence that the left then uses as evidence or to support their case (when it’s a literal digital false flag). And then there’s those that want to get us to say something stupid online so they can persecute us. I don’t have guns, but, for example, online commentary may be used as a justification to disarm you. What’s more important, having the weapons at a time of need or conflict, or talking about what you’d be willing to do. At least, that would be my calculus. I may be more paranoid than necessary. PTSD from living amongst large groups of democrats who hate conservatives.
