Dunning and Kruger are gonna get us all killed.

Sure we have veterans, sure we have the ability to fight. But the left is already off their couches, organized and have shown a willingness to engage in violence. They have leadership, they have numbers and they have funding. Sure they don’t have guns and training (that we know of) but if they started tomorrow how long would it be before they’re effective?

The Russian revolution was won by pissed off college kids with Molotov cocktails and sticks who’s grandparents thought were idiots.

They’re doing the stuff we’ve been saying we can do for the last six years. Without legit weapons. Your and my lockers full of guns aren’t gonna do us a whole lot of good if this goes real anytime soon.

You're being downvoted but you're correct. They have the first step towards winning a war, the will to fight.

What about that is factually inaccurate?

The fact is that the commie punk who is willing to risk tear gas, rubber bullets to the face and being thrown in a van for a chance to throw a brick or frozen water bottle at a cop isn’t afraid of us. They’re the ones willing to fight for their convictions, wrong as they are, and that’s what makes them dangerous to us.

Case in point, where’s our response to the pinko fags running riot around Portland for the last two months? Where’s our dozens of tour buses labeled MAGA for bringing fellow Pedes to the protest? Where’s our lawyers willing to work pro bono when we cross the legal line?

Oh yeah, we don’t have that. Nor did we have any of that in Seattle or Berkeley or Ferguson or Chicago or Baltimore or any of the other ones we’ve seen in the last few months.

And to my original point, that’s our mistake. We’re overestimating our own capabilities and underestimating theirs. We’re here having this discussion while those assholes are freezing bottles and making molotovs.
Dunning-Kruger effect at work.

We lack the organization, centralized leadership and funding they have. And to be clear I’m not advocating that we start behaving as they do. I’m only saying we need to fight intelligently and win.

Answer me this: if BLM or a black bloc or whatever showed up in your hood, and the police weren’t gonna protect you, how many people do you have you could count on to come help? I don’t have enough here.

Edit. Missed a whole two sentences in my second to last paragraph.

I think you’re getting your wires crossed somewhere my dude.

Warsaw what? I never said anything about AKs. That was another poster. In fact I never said anything about a specific weapon systematically. Or about their logistics. I don’t care about where any of that comes from. You need to work on your reading comprehension.

You can stop projecting your personal insecurities and ad hominem attacks as well. I don’t care. You haven’t addressed a single one of my points which from the beginning has been that the left is ahead of us in terms of organization and we’re underestimating them.

I, like you, hope these assholes never get their operations off the ground. I however realize that there’s the potential they might. I hope it doesn’t bite you in the ass.

Good luck, Pede.
