Founding fathers were more concerned with shit that happened like a century ago, I doubt they would have even be able to picture the amount of tyranny (or what they considered to be so) that the American people would put up with. The Tea Party was over a British 3% tax on tea which wasn't really effectively enforced anyway
I'm not specifically referring to Trump when I say the amount of tyranny either and I know a lot of you guys take issue with that but idgaf everyone on here has their panties in such a bunch about the current admin that they forget that shit like Palantir has been allowed to slide under the radar for many different admins.
I also think its really dumb that the left has allowed the 2A to be a partisan issue for so long and championed putting restrictions into place but once the scenario every 2A advocate brings up as the reason for the right, they flip flop on it. Did you guys just think tyranny was made up to allow us to keep gun rights?
im just trying to point out the conversation is not as simple as “we have guns so we can rebel”. it’s not the french revolution, humanity has literally never been in the situation we’re in. our enemies are so spread out, their wealth has been so digitalized, physical rebellion cant do much in the modern world
what would define them winning? do you think the rich ppls are gonna line up shoot back at us like a real war? realistically they would flee, and then what? what do we need to occupy to ensure they cant come back and resume previous order? factories? farms? office buildings? the US is huge asf and everythings spread far
and then money, the rich still have all their wealth and can just buy their way back in, buying weaponry, manpower or whatever’s needed from another country and if we restart with private land distribution or create a new economic system we’d have to create all new money so the people we pushed out cant just come back (or send their descendants) with the wealth to re-monopolize
well i mean if they flee to another country its lowk the other countries problem cuz the new government can just ban their companies and make their wealth useless. And if they bypass it ill make sure they dont . Am i correct in assuming you think we will be dominated by these billionaires forever? Do you think there is a way out?
i think there is a way, but it’d only be possible if everyone can get on the same page. i do not think violence based rebellions will work, i think violence is the countdown instead. it gets people aware of the conversation and to take it seriously the truth is that their wealth is in us/our labor. not some online deed or pile of gold. its average citizens that know how to fire the missiles, how to farm the land and keep the electric grid running. our ONLY hope is all these important people
