  • You act like I’m advocating murder. I’m advocating letting the government know that we can also have weapons and fight back. That doesn’t make me a fucking nut job, it makes me someone who has read a history book.

    Civil disobedience has almost never worked, compared to armed disobedience. Even if those weapons are never fired. The point isn’t to go in shooting, it’s to get the military and police to back down and give the people what they demand.

    You’re advocating for us to all roll over and wait until this administration gives us what we’re politely but firmly asking for. Which will never happen. They live for a show of force.

    Keep holding your beliefs, it’ll be the last thing through your smug brain before the government executes you.




  • My only complaint (and I get to blame Regan) is that we can’t open carry here in Cali. That would help stop a lot of federal response if we had that capacity again.

    I’m not for destroying government property since that’s property that belongs to the people, but I also respect that change doesn’t happen with complacency. Plus if it was a peaceful protest for Jan 6ers then why is this not considered one?

    Every day I wish we didn’t have the current admin in charge since they lack capacity and bandwidth to take care of the real economic issues facing our generation and time.

    Completely agree though that the national guard is in control of the governor. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if Newsom agrees to bring them in if the feds kick in FEMA funding like they’re supposed to.













  • Yes. Most Americans drive less than 40 miles a day. Giving them the ability to do all of that on electric only, and then gas when they have to go further but with better efficiency is statistically better for the environment. Look, mining, shipping heavy ass battery cars, assembling, and them catching on fire and polluting toxic gas is a real thing. In our current obsession with driving everywhere and not investing in public transportation it’s the better of the two alternatives. If batteries had no mining, no net negative shipping weight, and didn’t pollute toxic gas if they caught on fire for a long time wasn’t a thing then yes you would be correct that BEVs are better. You know what’s even better though, real public transportation. You’re letting the small picture get in the way of the real fight you should be focused on. Not to mention the ballooning size and weight of cars.
