You know full well this is bullshit advice. I can’t murder someone and most people can’t do it, let alone flee and evade a militarized force with an ungodly budget.
They're saying this to get you to be able to protect yourself against civilian-led acts of violence. The danger doesn't just come from the trump gov, but also its electorate.
If you think you'll have to fight the government itself, you either need to join a vast armed resistance movement, or flee
^ this. It's not actual militias to worry about, it's the KKK, the lynch mobs, the drunken parties that get out of hand, the Jan 6 rioters
The danger is what becomes considered "acceptable".
Fuck this is going to be a miserable decade+... I already thought i was a bit paranoid, I really didn't need to feed it.
Self-defense is not "murder."
Tell that to my conscience. It probably wouldn't accept that.
I mean, if you'd rather be suicidally pacifistic that's up to you, but the undeniable fact is that it's not exactly a great individual strategy.
It's better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
hoooly shit that's one hell of a quote! I can't even convey my emotions about how sadly real it is.
I think the intended thought isn't necessarily "winning" but rather, "if you're going down, go down swinging". I'm not sure that I'm that pessimistic but, I'm certainly not optimistic at the moment.
