    You know the rights to buy guns and form militias is something everyone has the right to do. People need to stop waiting for someone else to save them and start working to protect themselves and communities.

      I mean, you raise a point, but good luck doing anything and trying to stay off the radar of national security. They’ve got 25 years of experience spying on American citizens under the guise of stopping terrorism. If I go out and try to form a militia right now, I’m not voting in the next election.

      I think familiarizing ourselves with decentralized methods of communication is an important step to take right now. Hopefully not necessary.

        “25 years” as if the agencies haven’t been manipulating the american public with mass media, psyops and literal chemical warfare since the 50s :/

      I’m well aware, also painfully aware that anyone doing so without the state doing their best to either label them as domestic terrorists or insert their own agent provocateurs to cause the kind of incident that would make the public label them as such, don’t currently exist, thanks to the panopticon making it the easiest thing ever for the powers that be to dismantle their entire organisation.
