You're talking in circles and slip away every time I try to pin you down. Does this sound like you're saying the same thing to you? I said protecting yourself (your community) is fine, whatever.

They are both very valuable tools when facing a fascist regime with a monopoly on violence… take the history of the blck panthers as one example. The government was so afraid of them, they made new gun laws. Almost like education is about empowerment and legislation is about control. but you do you i suppose.

Fuck it, if you dontnwant to do something about it, just leave then. Idk what you want me to tell you. As a trans woman with very mixed heritage, organization and community defense is the only reason i exist.

Cops ae not your biggest concern anymore. It is the emboldened and armed assholes that rape and murder us. It is the state that refuses to charge them. So dont let them kill you first. They want to exterminate us. No amount of peace and love will fight that

What part of cummunity defense flew over your head? We protect all sorts of vulnerable groups from would.be terrorists.

…okay, well next time youre at a leftist based training or minority event that has independent security, maybe you’ll consider this conversation and thank your local defense group. Its okay if you dont want to be armed. But armed resistance is vital right now.
