Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?
Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 days agoYou’re clearly just reiterating your belief in gun ownership and not addressing anything. “Buying a gun” is the tankie version of libs saying “go vote”. Solves nothing, they say it will fix everything. Might help in a very niche scenario that nobody disputes but is so ridiculously overprescribed as to be a useless platitude.
If you’re actively hunting notable fascists that’s totally different than just “buying a gun”. That is a very specific type of gun use and like the kirk shooting was somewhat tragic because the kid that shot him will be going to prison. He bartered a lot more than a few bucks for that outcome.
If like a couple dozen people started doing that the fascist movement would likely lose most its notable members in a year.

Where did I say that it would “fix everything?” Weren’t you just complaining about “mischaracterizing arguments” (which I never did)?

You said the magic platitude. If somebody put “go vote” at the bottom of the kent state shooting I would also have issues.

So I’m not allowed to tell anyone to do anything if that one thing doesn’t magically fix all the problems in the world?
