Statements like this make me want to embrace anarchy. People armed and poised for confrontation at the command of an authoritative governing body are all the same.

disagree. anarchy wouldnt solve anything, it would just create the conditions to replicate what we have now 10x worse. embrace left wing authority. arm the people and educate them so they know who to use the guns on and what they’re using the guns to achieve.

the problem with america isnt authority or authoritarianism exactly, its who is exerting that authority and for what

That’s where I don’t plan on participating at all anymore if I’m honest.

Definitely agree here.

i'm curious what you mean by this exactly. as in, you wouldn't support such a revolution, or you would have to support it in other ways that don't include arming and educating people?

my personal opinion is, i don't want people to have guns at all, but we don't live in a world like that. one day i hope we could. right now, along with education, they're a tool needed for liberation

That’s how I feel as well. I’ve come to the realization that I’m not cut out for a world where I’ll need to take up arms and don’t plan on living through a violent revolution.
