Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?
Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 days agoYou ruined the entire post by ending it with a poorly thought out conclusion. “Buy more ovaltine” level of dumb at the end. All you have to do to change my mind is edit the ending to something not as dumb.

Yes, it’s exactly the same as telling people to buy ovaltine. Ovaltine will definitely help you kill fascists just as much as a gun will.
Your position is so fucking stupid, and every angle you tried to defend it from has fallen apart under the tiniest bit of scrutiny.

Thanks debate-me-bro so glad to have you on my side. I can’t wait for the glorius revolution where we all look at the guns on our mantles and jack off to them.

Lmao! Too much of a clown for me to even satirize you.

I clearly went too far because I was satirizing your mischaracterization of other people’s arguments that you really didn’t address but said you did (powerful obama giving a medal to obama meme energy).
I’m obviously more of a syndicalist. Buying “a” gun won’t do anything meaningful in and of itself. We need some people to buy a lot of guns and ammo. Not everybody needs to buy a gun, there’s more guns than people here as it is. The gun threshold, if anything has already been reach. If it gets to the guns mattering we’ve already lost a thousand battles.
We need lots of people thinking about each other. We need people thinking about things like food, water, waste, etc. Like the US government has never caved because somebody shot a bullet at them. They cave because airports get shutdown, because trash stops being collected. The guns help if it goes further, but the step before the guns is the determinate on whether the guns will work or not.
Like a bunch of military drones come through your door you won’t even have the opportunity to kill a single fascist. You’re just dead, killed by a guy essentially playing a video game. A missile is the same thing. There’s no heroic fantasy where just owning a gun lets people takedown a fascist.
My main real issue is the one size fits all prescription. Buy a gun is just so overly simplistic and dumb.
