I get the sense that part of what is behind the liberal opposition to the concept of an armed populace being better equipped than an unarmed one to defend itself from fascist dictators is related to their personal feelings on what they would do in that situation.

If the only way to stop the US from descending into full blown fascism is to resist the military indefinitely, they are going to save themselves (so far fleeing has been what they've said they're planning) instead.

I think fascists are happy to hear/see it.

EDIT: I should just add that the obvious vector for this kind of conflict is morale more than military might.

It is far more likely that the people against violence online actually understand the cost. And keyboard warriors like yourself are overcompensating hard for total cowardice offline.

Bizarre argument. Doesnt matter the source once they got armed they became gun owners. If anything you further the point that guns matter in overthrowing evil dictators.

My argument is that reality doesn’t fit your fantasy. Your counter argument is but my fantasy would make it better.

Here’s a better idea, protect your democracy with laws against corruption and keeping individual power in check.


It is funny how words have no meaning any more. Do you know what is the meaning of the word "fantasy" ?
What would qualify as fantasy in what i posted? And then is your second sentence which is pure fantasy, idealistic, but still fantasy. And it is in the same post where you posted this:

"My argument is that reality doesn’t fit your fantasy"

Fantasy: the faculty or activity of imagining things.

Much like people who have the good guy with the gun fantasy for stopping crime and mass shooting even though it happens well under 1% of the time.





See we have some progress now. Can you please specify what in my post you have seen as fantasy?

Holy shit dude. That small arms purchased within the nation over through a dictatorship. What are you not following?

Not to mention that I don’t think one dictator getting replaced by a different dictator is the win people are looking for! 😂

Edit: and if you want to look at the US example there is a correlation between more guns and a worsening democracy.


First of all where did you got "small" guns from? Second, I didnt say that.

In what way guns purchased nationally are worse than guns supplied by foreign governments? Apparently, according to Wiki

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country

there is 120 guns per 100 people in the US.

I am not sure what you dont understand. If you have, for example, 50k people willing to overthrow dictator, but 5k guns then obviously foreign governments have to do some heavy lifting, If you have 50k people and 51k guns this burden gets much smaller.


Frankly only fantasy here seem to be you fighting arguments no one made.


Wombat said it well. But small arms is a very common term for things like hand guns and other non military grade. The US has plenty of ARs but even more non military grade.

Like you really think a bunch of dudes, that run away from every shooting in the US are going to team up and beat the US army, ICE, FBI, CIA, Local police and so on? Pure stupid fantasy. It’s crazy how many MAGA people sound like and think the same things are cool as 12 year old boys. It’s the never grew up movement.


But they do have "plenty" of AR, also judging from other forums and some vidoes they arent alien to sniper rifles and other military grade equipment. So saying small guns is misleading.

Where did I said this: "Like you really think a bunch of dudes, that run away from every shooting in the US are going to team up and beat the US army, ICE, FBI, CIA, Local police and so on?" ??
