There isn't a nation on Earth that is going to step forward to help the citizenry fight back if the US goes full Russia and Nazi Germany, because then the regime will simply turn round and say "okay if you continue helping out our insurgents we will glass your entire nation with nukes." The other nation would back off immediately because the regime is that unhinged to actually do it and at the end of the day it's just another nations citizens being hurt not theirs. There are no friends in geopolitics. Only allies of convenience.</quote>Disagree with only your last sentence. England and Australia/NZ, despite sporting rivalries, would always help each other out in a war. There is a real friendship there. Basically family lol.And until Trump came into power, I'd say the USA were a genuine friend of ours, though yeah that might be ruined now under this madman</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

The government is enforcing the opposite at gunpoint and they're ecstatic about it. It was never about state violence and control, they're all for that. It's the same dynamic we saw with pro monarchy people during the French Revolution. They had no problem with and encouraged state violence by the monarch but had fever dreams about lawless actions by the republic. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:984546886] in The 'we ne...

It's not no one like right wingers tend to claim. the problem is that if the federal government and military ever is the real adversary, the firepower they have just shits all over regular citizens, no matter how many AR-15s they might have. Your rifles and shotguns aren't gonna do shit when the government sends in APCs with 30mm cannons to put down dissenters.
