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
