Got it. So you want to tell people how they should use violence while you sit around pretending to be doing something. How long do you need to sit around & prepare. Should I plan on seeing your declaration of war in the next week or so?
Don't feel bad you're lazy and can't manage to stand up for yourself. It's ok. The camps will be fun. Just like summer when you were a kid.
When I have the opportunity to use violence against incursion by your fascist regime into my country I will. As of yet I have no reason to be violent. We're a peaceful country for the most part. You on.the other hand...
What's happening in US and around the world is showing how effectively social media are used for discussion by Russia. Have you wondered that currently every Western country has at least one party that is fascist and has positive stance towards Russia?
In US such party won and we are seeing effects on it, it will require people to stop it, but remember that there also brainwashed ones whom are fine with it.
Don't let that happen in Canada.
The camps will be fun? I really don't have much hope for Canada when it sounds to me like you idealize your own version of fascism. Maybe you should go look how America got here to see that Canada won't be far behind. You should also figure out how to take on the monarchy first. I know you won't do anything but fantasize about your own form of fascism.
So, what are you doing? I'm seeing a lot of criticism and complaining, and not a lot of action from you either. Are you attending meetings of your local chapter of the SRA? Are you qualified in small arms and assault rifles? Do you engage in mutual aid and community organizing? Have you run for any local office or gone to town halls?
Seriously, why do you care? I'd much rather propose a secession negotiation from the States to try to maintain peace. Guns don't do shit against missiles, tanks, military weaponry, & nukes. I get where you're coming from in terms of being armed & read if a civil war breaks out between states or even at a local level, but if the US military is willing to accept orders from a fascist we're all fucking screwed.
We're not willing - huge portions of us aren't at the very least. My contract ends next year, but I'm ready to go to court-martial or worse if given an unlawful or unconstitutional order, as are all the rest of my division, at least, including the division Chief. And as someone in the direct chain for nuclear launch, we definitely are not launching on the Homeland - none of the officers will, none of the enlisted will, and you need us to each do our part for anything to launch at all, unlike in the movies.
Even still - the Vietcong successfully held out long enough for America's full might to be withdrawn. I'm not proposing anything for legal reasons. But getting involved with mutual aid and community building might be a bit more useful than you think.
