    Imagine if people started calling for straight white bigots to be shot? They’d freak the fuck out.

    I mean people mention the patriarchy and white straights have a fucking melt down.

    Least fascist Republican. Seriously though, I feel like its mostly empty posturing. The capitalists in the US are trying their best to stabilize (without addressing any issues), something like killing all trans supporters would only accelerate the decline. Riots way larger and more violent then BLM would ravage the country, meanwhile all the capitalist class want is for the working class to continue to be screwed over. Such riots would greatly destabilize the imperial core (very bad for capitalists) and would shut down a large number of workplaces (also bad for them).

      Capitalists aren’t one giant United group or party who read theory and organize like MLs do. They’re mostly independent gang bosses that occasionally team up together if they can make more profit

      This Mississippi republican is not saying this shit in an attempt to further capitalism. He’s just transphobic af. Things can happen outside of a capitalist/communist framework

      I’m confident most capitalists/politicians outside of finance billionaires and people at the top of government position don’t understand class conflict on a geopolitical level

        Pretty much this, and to add there’s lot of infighting among the chuds even in more stable times, the reactionaries have breaks over what sort of white fascist state they wish to bring about. A good example in the US would be the various neonazi groups and KKK not getting along quite often.

        True to a degree but I do believe the capitalist class understands its interests. Politicians are basically just tools of the wealthy, the wealthy ultimately know what they want.

        The wealthiest and most powerful know what they want.

    See a lot of people like “empty posturing” but you know this will cause a spree of “”“unconnected murders”“”".

    Arm yourselves. Join a group like the Socialist Rifle Association or something similar.

      There already was a serial killer in an old town I used to live in, Jacksonville. Was never called a “serial killer” because all their victims were homeless people, mostly trans homeless people. Police didn’t even investigate the crimes.

          No no, Jacksonville NC. Very small military town right in the middle of the coastline. It has some really nice spots but, well…lots and lots of domestic abuse, strip clubs, absent/abusive dads and poverty.

            Grew up there. Absolute shithole and there are countless videos of the police straight up beating people of color and homeless people I’ve seen people post. To give a general idea of the area, at least the poorer part I was in, I’d pass at least 2 dozen confederate flags on the way to school and my grandpa had a dog named the n word hard r. That said, there are some nice beaches, like really nice ones not even an hour drive or so out.

              Yoooo another person who knows this tiny town??? There was some other person, more active a month or so ago I don’t remember their name, said they lived in Raleigh and used to live in Jacksonville. No freaking way, what a coincidence.

              But yeah, yep, mhm, yes, that sounds like Jacksonville. It was basically a joke with me and my gf that every single block had 1 Confederate flag, 1 tattoo shop, 1 strip club, and 1 barbershop.

      They don’t believe trans kids exist and that if a kid says they’re trans they’ve been groomed into it.

      Also they believe that trans women in female spaces are there to be predators.

      I haven’t seen them claim that trans people are straight up pedophiles like they have with gay and bisexual people but the accusations they throw are bad enough.

      Trans rights are in real danger.

    Between this, groomer rhetoric and Matt Walsh’s little documentary it’s pretty obvious that we’re heading towards violence against trans people. We’re in the normalizing stage now.

    i’m worried for my comrades in the United States and the west in general. keep yourselves safe, find a community of like-minded people if you can, and do your best to organize

    when things get bad, all of those things will be very important

      It’s one of the few decent things abt the US, not that it doesn’t also have its own drawbacks, plenty of massacres and mass shootings here, especially in the last 5-10 years. And as reactionary as much of the gun culture is here, at least it’s accessible

        Я не охотник, и если я не ошибаюсь только охотники и люди катории стреляют для спорта могут купить или использовать с оружием (ну и конечно солдатам можно). Извини если я ошибаюсь…

          Есть ещё лицензия для самообороны, хотя там последние годы ужесточали условия. Нарезное сразу получить не выйдет это точно, с остальными вариантами не уверен.

            Ты прав, но я не знаю так много про условие ружья но я знаю что мой дедушка был охотникам и имел ружьё. Поэтому я думал что в России только охотникам и так далее можно использовать с оружием.

            Прости за мой плохой русский язык, я жил большенство моей жизни в Бельгии…

    My fam lives on 5 acres in rural California out 30 miles from Sacramento. If California breaks off and somehow keeps from going full fascist then I want all of California to break off including our property. We need to be prepared to push out the conservative factions from our communities.

          Ah apologies. I doubt the SRA has any local activities in Brazil though US comrades there may be able to at least point you toward videos that are less reactionary. Sorry comrade. I’d still reach out if you are looking to learn about how to use them, but they may not be able to help with acquisition or legalities.

            Oh I would love to, I love guns. But I love my family more and due to my personal history I’d scare them to death if I got involved with gun activities. I don’t want to break my mother’s heart making her think I’ll kill myself. The information is for other comrades. Perhaps in the very distant future.

              There are non-lethal alternatives, like a pepper gun which basically just shoots pepper balls. I have a similar medical history so for now I only use non-lethal options, and for lethal options I remade my own Lucille from Walking Dead. A bat with barbed wire wrapped around and stapled to it. My spouse is not from the US and I lived in a very openly hostile area. A couple neighbors outright flew Nazi swatika flags on their porch so I needed to have something to kill them with if they fucked with me or my fam. Never had to luckily, but the option was available.

              Anyway, I learned about a lot of non-lethal options from them as well.

      98+% of them, yes, but it just takes that one particularly fucked up to go through with it. And that anomalous group gets a little bigger and little more emboldened to satiate their murder curiosity and project their deadly insecurities each day.
