Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I was talking about this specific situation, actually. The one this post is about? I personally wouldn't get my kids involved with a shootout with the US government, but you do you. Glad you were able to deduce my entire stance and general knowledgeability regarding antifascism based on that, though. Pretty cool.
OP already said they’ll protest and donate, if I read the sardonism correctly.
Anyways, hope your demolition of deathcamps goes better than 22 more years.
Frankly I'm not sure what point you're trying to make anymore. I never said a single thing about protesting. You're the one who decided that me saying "pulling a gun on armed thugs is probably not a good idea" means I support full submission to fascism. You just keep putting words in my mouth and providing links to things that are tangentially relevant to what you're saying, and honestly it's gotten old. You can believe you bested whatever strawman you're projecting onto me if it makes you happy, but I'm not interested in continuing this conversation.
I think that's the raw issue: you haven't provided a proper solution for OP to protect his family.
We already agreed a frontal confrontation is probably not the best strategy. But I fail to see any other strategies that won't result in the family still getting abducted, raped, and deathcamped, that history has already proven.
