The next step of right wing radicalization is to build a family, buy a house, and have a decent job and career. Leftists really need to step up to stop this from happening! And indeed they do and try...

Yeah, next step is radicalization to the point where they go to church every Sunday and are well established as a positive force in their neighborhoods, helping each other out without the ruling communist party's approval. Only a reeducation camp can cure them from there on.

What scares me is that there are two possibilities for why lefties are buying guns.

  1. They have been red pilled and now understand the need for the second amendment for self-defense

  2. They see the writing on the wall and are arming up for what has been perceived as an inevitable upcoming civil war.

I pray it’s first one because a civil war would actually screw up this nation in a multitude of ways.

17
TurdFerguson 17 points ago +17 / -0

Let’s hope they are buying for self defense against rioters. Imagine Facebook, Google, and Twitter giving away the positions of their adversaries in a civil war and providing intelligence to the left.

14
aaafirefly123 14 points ago +16 / -2

That’s not the worst part.

The worst part is that a civil war will almost certainly turn into a RACE WAR which will inevitably lead to GENOCIDE.

If this occurs, it will forever scar our nation and MLK Jr’s dream of a biracial America will be forever destroyed.

The people might think that a civil war would be fought and won quickly and yet that’s exactly what the people who fought in the first one said, and look how that turned out.

Also look at how long “average joes with primitive bombs and AK47s” were able to resist the US Military in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Vietnam War (1955 - 1975)

War in Afghanistan (2001 - Present)

ChokingOnARedpill 7 points ago +7 / -0

Ok, you have a point but there's a few key things you're not taking into consideration. One, most people on the right don't think in racial ways like that, at least not to the level we're lead to believe. If anything, that would help divide the left further. This is already happening in CHAZ. Second, those guerilla wars you cited all had battle hardened insurgents fighting 18 year olds with less passion than the insurgents....and in some cases, 18 year old draftees. I'm not saying it be a quick and easy war. But it be one with an obvious outcome.

Walkie-talkie have low range, no security as it is an open comm device. You need simple cipher and hand held portables with range as using the repeaters cost money unless you can afford portable repeaters. Communicate inside of private game rooms and use code. Will work until they identify you.

aaafirefly123 4 points ago +9 / -5

You don’t understand, a civil war would forever scar this nation in ways the first civil war did not.

For one, with the way race relations are now, a civil war is almost certainly going spiral into a full blown Race War which will inevitably lead to genocide.

And remember, “average joes with primitive bombs and AK47s” were able to hold off the US military for decades in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Not to mention the Marxist groups will receive support from China, Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Iran, and possibly North Korea in the form of money, arms, and advisors. Not to mention the funding they will get from global NGOs ran by George Soros and other Globalists.

I’m not saying do nothing, far from it. Should the time come, we should fight with everything we have.

But before that we should try everything we can to prevent it from happening. And no that does not mean conceding to the Marxists Globalists

One last thing of note is that a civil war would open the door for a dictator to take over

5
GenderlessWookie 5 points ago +5 / -0

You must be completely shit at history.

A civil war would not bring about a dictator. The end result would bring about a break up into regions at best. The central government is the first to dissolve and you think magically some magic fucking nu-Hitler is going to rise from the ashes?

State to state fighting is more likely, as was after the revolution.

Look at what the mayors of Minneapolis, Seattle, and New York City did, and you can SEE that self-defense is a Republican instinct and NOT a Democrat one! "Oh, you wanna take over my city and destroy it? Ok! Let me just step aside and let you do it! And in a few days, I'll even give a press conference saying I stand with you and support you!"

If you go to the twitter section from there you will find someone posted an image of a truck driver getting pulled out, kicked near the throat then when on hands and knees seeming to be stunned or choking someone is in the air and about to stomp on his head, and then a picture later shows the same guy though he looks dead or severely injured to the point that critical condition is likely.

Brucesky420 4 points ago +4 / -0

As someone who listened to NPR for nearly 20 years, it definitely needs to happen. They've always been left wing, they've always pushed agenda - but as with most things the TDS has absolutely gotten the best of them. I can't even turn them on anymore, and when I do out of habit I pretty much immediately cringe.

The last time I accidentally turned them on instead of Rush Limbaugh, they were talking about how Climate Change is racist. These are the same people who say they won't have children so they don't have to grow up on a fireball. "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!! but don't forget, black people are the most affected"

I love how those who listen to NPR religiously always respond to those of us who are conservative with statements such as,

Maybe you should take a college class.

Or,

Imagine if you opened a book.

Or even,

You obviously can’t understand science.

It’s funny since of the conservative folks I know, many are doctors, scientists, engineers, software developers (not bullshit code academy coders, real developers with in depth knowledge of the field), hell one of them (my friends husband) works for SpaceX. Many others are business owners.

The folks telling us to pick up a book or attend a college lecture - yeah most of them couldn’t hack it for a semester in a STEM major.

It makes you feel like you're smarter and more educated than other people,

The sad thing about that is some group polled NPR listeners and Rush listeners and found that Limbaugh's followers knew more current events and more accurately than NPR listeners. Maybe back in the 2000's or so. If I can find it, will add a link.

https://www.people-press.org/2006/07/30/section-4-audience-segments/

Judged by their answers to three news knowledge questions1, the most informed audiences belong to the political magazines, Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, the O’Reilly Factor, news magazines, and online news sources.

2
rooftoptendie 2 points ago +2 / -0

That was fascinating. I wish they had a more recent set of data. But I thought it was quite telling that the highest proportion of educated listeners included Rush and Oreilly, and one of the lowest was CSPAN. Also that according to that one table, it appears as though even in 2006 watching MSNBC will actually make you dumber than the national average.

Yes and even before then. William Randolph Hearst and the Spanish-American war come to mind. One of the greatest lies the media ever sold the people is that the media themselves were to be trusted.

You can only imagine what kind of check gets you a direct thank you, by name, on the air.

In radio? A dollar.

The old standby in radio to get initial business was, a dollar a hollar!

Of course, after seeing the benefit of radio, the expectation was that new advertisers would start paying full freight.

However, on the topic of radio and ads, did you ever notice the advertisement of "sales jobs" at radio stations? They'd usually advertise on air that they were hiring qualified "outside sales" people. High turnover in telemarketing/d2d-btb, I guess, but the humor was radio stations would run ads pointing out how radio was the superior marketing method, and then run an ad for their own business (the radio station) looking for people to use an entirely different type of ad stream. The irony was indescribable once noticed.

The MSM was so sooo eager to use that trucker in Minneapolis as another "right wing extremist" too, coming out with stories initially of how he had allegedly dodged a National Guard checkpoint and driven around a barrier to get on the freeway and deliberately targeted the protestors. That of course turned out to be bullshit too, as the driver had already been on the freeway, the barriers hadn't yet been placed to close the road, and he had initially honked then came to a stop when he realized the people in the street weren't getting out of the way. Just a confused guy who didn't expect a mob of people to be standing in the middle of the road trying to block him.

So back to Charlottesville we go. "Hey guys, right-wing extremists are increasingly trying to run over "peaceful" protestors! As proof, here's an incident from 3 years ago!"

The problem is these things hide behind the anonymity of "NPR does leftist bias" instead of finding the author of the article, and those who approved it for publication and putting their feet to the fire. If they can't professionally defend the article then they should be stripped of any journalist credentials and fired.

NPR is a publicly funded operation - either pull that funding or force them to hold their people to account. NPR of all sites should be required to report facts, not leftist fantasy.

But, the second you see someone else get hurt, the second they try to get in your car, second a gun is pointed at you, the second a molotov cocktail appears, you can reasonably defend yourself.

But, you know if such official guidelines existed the protestors would follow them to a tee saying "I'm not threatening you." same way a bully would say "I'm not touching you."

Should be as simple as them touching your car in an agitated state while blocking a roadway illegally.

When I say “illegally blocking a roadway” I mean they do not possess a permit to gather there.

As an aside, I think it should be illegal for municipalities to issue permits to protesters to block interstate roadways. Taxpayers depend on that commerce and it is theft to deprive them of free usage thereof.

NPR needs to be defunded, I know some lefties that get all of their news from NPR and would believe this story without even reading the article.
