Probably not. But the national guard and the army will. I recommend looking up the Tulsa massacre as well as all the times we have slaughtered Native Americans by the dozens (and that is just in the US).

    How well has the army done against guerrilla warfare?

    Are we really fucking doing this again?

    Go look up what flock cameras are. And understand there are plenty more where that came from. We live in a surveillance state. So when you and your friends run out of nowhere to scream "wildcats" and shoot up the cops? They'll fairly trivially track you to your home where you, your family, and the people down the street can be massacred at the leisure of the army.

    And yes, yes, I know. You and all your friends are going to coordinate to destroy every single camera all at the same time so that nobody can ever track you. And you'll aim your rifle in the sky and take out the satellites overhead. And you'll do all of this without ever having to coordinate with another human being because, if you actually knew how to do that, you wouldn't be speaking like a child and would realize you aren't the only person with these fears and those community organizers are well aware of things.

    Or they'll just take a page from the israelis and blow up a random apartment complex because there were black people and The Gays in there. They were probably the shooters, right?

    super strange argument you have, "these people are oppressive and totally powerful, and we should do nothing."

    whats the end goal of your ideology?

    That would be a strange argument to have. I don't know what the scarecrow's deal is, but that isn't at all what I am saying.

    To summarize: if you bring weapons to a protest, you are not protesting, you are rioting. And if you bring weapons with the intent to kill (basically the only way a firearm is useful to "protect" from another firearm), you are literally a terrorist. That results in a VERY VERY different response.

    Is there a time and a place for that response? I am not going to answer that on lemmy. But understand that most people at that protest are there to make their voices heard and don't expect to soak up bullets for john rambo. And if it becomes known that is what happens because someone is always gonna bring a gun? Those protesters stay home

    That's a good first step. One of the best things we can do to fight back is make sure we have cameras that report to us, and that don't report to them.

    We decided what our cameras are used for. Not them.
