  • Okay, so who are you gathering up to train? Because just telling people your plan on social media and expecting it to happen in two months is not especially realistic.

    • That’s a good question. I guess the start is finding like minded people, or convincing others to be receptive of the ones that form if not get them actuated themselves. So what i am attempting now. There was that group of armed protestors that stand watch over planned parenthood clinics. They satisfy a price of the puzzle

      • You're not going to be able to train those like-minded people in military tactics over the internet.

        What are your own experience in military tactics anyway? You don't seem to know how to spell 'guerilla' since you keep spelling it like the animal, so I'm not so sure you have much.

        • I generally have you in high regard here on Lemmy. We have had discussions in the past and i made a concerted effort to not attack you. I have been civil. So i will have to ask you to look past my difficulties in spelling, and my constant battle against auto correct. I have military training, but they are not necessary to effectively organize, or train in fire arms.

          • So you have no actual ability to train people to fight in this revolution of yours and you have not gathered anyone together. I assume you haven't raised any funds or stockpiled any armor (let alone weapons). You have two months to achieve your goal. And yet this sounds achievable to you?

            • I don’t think a Revolution in two month’s is a good idea. Again at this stage, militias such as the Black Panthers would be much more effective.

              You are attempting to discredit my position by setting arbitrary unrealistic expectations, and pointing out my incapability in pulling that off.

              You are not any longer arguing against the principle of my argument. It would take time, and the first steps is to lay the ground work for it to happen such as, convincing people of the need and effectiveness of militias.

              Were you the one who is said they were leaving the states due to expected tyranny?

              • All you have is two months. Then the genocide begins. Sorry. If you wanted armed revolution to happen, it's too late. They're already building the concentration camps.
