In interwar Germany, the people who stood for democratic liberties and against both Nazism and Communism formed their own militias, most famously the Black-Red-Gold Reichsbanner. Something referencing the Stars & Stripes might make for a good name.
Forming a militia is a really bad and ultimatly useless idea. The MOMENT people here start talking about forming one is the moment they go on a watch list, then ultimately will do nothing other than maybe on some rare crazy occasion shoot at someone attacking you, and even then you will still be the bad guy in the medias and FBIs eyes and get fucked over. Just look at what happened to the Proud Boys and they werent even a milita, just some goofy fraternity that just started fighting Antifa in the streets with their fist.
Forming politically is MUCH more important and practical, and the left knows this and the right needs to learn this. Antifa is just one part of the operation, they also own various legal funds and more importantly, have politicians on their side like the DA who just decided not to prosecute any antifa rioters arrested, or even mayors like Ted Wheeler that just lets it all happen.
I dont care if this gets downvoted bc you guys need to hear this, guns are for the most part a giant cope. A real civil war scenario isnt some cool video game shootfest, it would be a miserable bloody event that will NEVER end in anything good for either side. Organizing and working on real life practical political solutions is what we need to do. Occupy spaces in government, hold power within the system, thats how you win.
++Militias are formed by handshakes between you and your neighbors and within your town. Aside from noting who to call or visit from surrounding areas in case everyone needs to come together to answer a specific external threat, leave it be.
Movements are without borders on county, state, federal and national level.
Federalist Papers discussed tyranny of Mob and how a Republic might hold it in check. We are ever swung back and forth towards Mob or Tyrant rule. There must be some swing room, never to be fixed into either absolute.
Another pendulum I believe must remain free-swinging is Free Trade (Mob economics) to Protectionism (Tyrant economics). If a country is strong, periods of Free Trade gathers wealth from elsewhere, and periods of protection ensure self-reliance and foster domestic innovation. These things are not simply 'imperialist' in the sense that the world also benefits from our trade, and the national innovation spurred by protection allows us to build and export useful things -- like industrial revolutions.

While we've all been working like we've been told to do, that's what they've been doing and how we got here. That and ducking jury duty. I don't know if the movement is big enough to form our own party, but ultimately I think that is what needs to happen if we want to keep America.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish ourselves doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min-maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know every little detail that some have attained such gamer nirvana, they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed in frustration? All to later be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games ourselves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with people laughing at how pathetic we are, that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
Just a reminder to everyone that any militia preparation, member list, or plans should all be offline. The people that you'd be fighting against would be able to legally procure all of that info (without your knowledge) if they considered you a threat to yourself or others. You could even have the most innocent of intentions. Maybe you just want a way to meet like-minded people. That won't protect you though. Look at the McCloskeys. Remember Ruby Ridge and Waco.
Make sure that you have several backups for communication, and make sure everyone knows it. Otherwise certain tech oligarchs will pull the plug at any crucial organizing time.
Very important! We need FAR better organization. Just imagine if thousands of pedes truly organised! BLM and all the rest would be a joke.
We need a [code] militia name!!!!!!! <3 Maga2020
Let's also call ourselves "Anti-Fascists" just to fuck with the media
But we are antifascist. And anticommunist. Its like a 2 for 1 special!

Just call us the anti-marx. We all know Marxism is the underlying ideology here, antifa, blm, communism, socialism, etc

WE ARE THE ANTI-FACISTS
FaCo?
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.

And gamers lost, 99% of games are now commie-compliant, willing to do anything to make the left happy.
I know this is probably copypasta but that was an inspiring speech!
When I become a responsible gun owner, it's going to be my own irl character build.
I lol'd
We need encrypted radio comms as well
Motorola XTS P25s are shockingly cheap on ebay these days. Not sure how easy it is to enable AES on a basic radio but IIRC they all support it.
Not that I recommend anyone that "just wants a radio" going down the Moto rabbithole...

This. We need a sticky 24/7 on this til the election.
We need destructive anonymous encrypted chat app.
