  • Well we better get fucking started on making our own.

    Once again - operation blazing sword and the pink pistols are leftists, LGBTQ, and BIPOC defense focused groups.

    There is nothing that says we can't create our own militia, in fact there is something that says we can called the 2nd amendment.

  • Also check your states laws for firearm ownership. I was diagnosed bipolar after being involuntarily hospitalized in 2015 in Spokane- according to Washington State law, I have a lifetime ban on owning a firearm, however I moved to Chicago where the ban is only 5 years long.

    Many of us are disabled in some way, so the state may disenfranchise us for better or for worse, but I think it's important we can defend ourselves.

    It's sad- 10 years ago I'd be fine with a firearm ban, but the world changed. Its time we focus on community safety, and especially for us who don't wear red hats.

  • Just Post @lemmy.world

    Every July 4th, every able bodied American should take firearm training with a local militia

  • If anything, in my 30 years I've learned degrees only mean so much. Someone without a degree but with actual on the job experience will out perform a new grad any day of the week.

    Frankly the university system has become a way to make sure the poor stay poor.

  • I feel like America is an alcoholic who is hitting rock bottom.

    There's a YouTuber, struthless, who talks about his struggle with addiction, and one thing he said was "when you hit that snag in your life that feels like everything is ending, ask 'how can this be the best thing to ever happen to me?'"

    Maybe that's what we need to start doing. We need to sober up and stop this cycle.

  • Yea, a lot of keyboard warriors talk a big game. Simply filming an officer is still fucking heroing, you are documenting brutality because the cops definitely won't. I was toe to toe with the CPD in 2020, and it was fucking terrifying. I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to kill themselves for not jumping into the fray. Most of us stock shelves for christ sake, and I teach music to 10 year olds- we don't know how to fight. Even if we did, knowing how to fight and ACTUALLY fighting are VERY different.

    I was in Eastern Oregon for my cousin's bachelor party, and we went to play volleyball at the park. In the court next to us, there was a beefcake skinhead tatted up with swastikas and all of his friends. At this point "punch a Nazi" kinda goes out the door when my 6'2" and 150 lb bean pole ass goes up against the MOST RIPPED NAZI I HAVE EVER SEEN. I just asked the guys to maybe go slackline in the forest instead.

  • Also consider social factors- chances are more baby's are made during celebrations, and wintertime has a BUNCH of those. I've hooked up with so many people after the NYE midnight kiss, lord knows how many kids I have running around this city.
