Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No these statements are meant for someone to do violence with me. To do it together, because the only way we win is to organize and then counter their violence with our own. They need to fear us for there to be liberty again, they need to fear us because people are being disappeared and taken to Concentration Camps.
And frankly, if you don't think its time for violence, then I encourage you to volunteer to stay in one. Prove to us that it isn't time for violence, because the people who seem like cowards are the ones telling people "Hey, just take it, or kill yourself!". Absolute disgrace and frankly sociopathy.
And honestly your side is the only side telling people to go it alone, and waste their life instead of working together. That's far more dangerous, and you know it. So until you're willing to suffer the same as those who have already suffered at the hands of our government, then your opinion is as worthless to me as it is to your oligarchic masters that see you as nothing but a sheep in their Flock.
I would partially disagree with that. I just don't think you have enough people willing to join you yet. I'd argue that you're better off telling people to join whatever their closest mutual aid group or even leftist militia group then trying to find people over the internet to do violence with you, especially because anyone here could be trying to push you to do crimes for multiple nefarious purposes.
For the most part, I feel like the people trying to tell people to do crimes they are not doing on here do not fundamentally have anyone's best interests at heart. So, I'll apologize for being antagonistic.
Friend you nailed it in the first half and then dropped it. The idea here is to create various groups through the spread of ideas, a singular leader would just be taken out and possibly replaced. The best thing that could happen is multiple spontaneous cells being grown throughout the U.S.. There aren't enough people ready, for this which is why the ideas have to spread both online and IRL, which I do in both spaces. Whether they join their local militia, or create their own from likeminded individuals is what I've been trying to encourage without using the word "militia" since I find many are allergic to the label thanks to right-winged chuds.
Before ideas can become group action, they must be spread through words. Those are literally the foundation for any organizing that follows. So yeah I find your kind of rhetoric far more harmful because it essentially defends the status quo, and encourages people to continue taking abuse. Abusers love it when their targets don't fight back, and back off once they do. In fact the only way to make them understand to back off is to use their "language" against them. Feel free to ask how I know from personal experience.
