      That’s the correct answer for when armed masked people who refuse to identify themselves try to interfere with you.

      Sorry, I don’t know why I repeated exactly what you just said.

      In a Rambo movie, its cool as hell.

      IRL, I’ve got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.

        Even hunting takes something out of you. It’s a feeling not like another to take a life, and not a good feeling at all.

                You absolute nunce do you think a large armed group of humans will passively sit and be shot at and not return fire

                    The context is you sound like a child who has no idea of the social political or mental consequences what they are talking about. Adults are trying to tell you that your bravado is foolish and that your casual dehumanization of your political enemies is the exact outcome they want. Fuck your juvenile accelerationism.

                    There are ways to stand up as a community and lock arms defensively. You are advocating for offensive actions. That will merit immediate harsh reprisals towards you and anyone that holds tangentially related political beliefs.

                    Do not confuse me for someone saying don’t fight back,

        There’s a reason why John fucking Brown is the real Jesus Christ. He’d fucking blow up the damn white house at this point.

        This is the difference between someone who wants to use their gun defensively and someone who just wants an excuse to murder people.

        You don’t unholster your gun unless you’re prepared to take a life. You pray you never have to.

        But there are just too many people who are thirsty to take a life and that should worry all of us.

                  Right. The vague concept existed before in many different forms. She put hircruxes in her books and made them a thing that people understood. I’m not saying she’s a great writer, but she clearly appealed to a lot of people with her writing, and not just kids. Her stories at least had decent morals. I’m not defending any of her anti-trans crap, but her Harry Potter fiction is a separate thing.

          I mean, “paranoid geriatric fascist serial killer performs home invasion in an attempt to murder a baby” describes a JK Rowling character and your choice of IDF or ICE officer equally well.

          Well… the first 3/4ths of the first Rambo movie.

          The back end is just “What do we do with the rest of our demolitions budget?”
