    They are both very valuable tools when facing a fascist regime with a monopoly on violence… take the history of the blck panthers as one example. The government was so afraid of them, they made new gun laws. Almost like education is about empowerment and legislation is about control. but you do you i suppose.

      Everyone keeps bringing up the Black Panthers like it was during a time that they had targeting drones and spyware across the city. They didn’t.

      The government was so afraid of them, they made new gun laws.

      They made new gun laws and also made them dissolve. Do you know of any uprisings recently? I tell you where they go now, to become slaves in the private prisons on pot charges.

      Also, even with the low government tech of the time, they were targeted and harassed and an authoritarian took them over.

      I know you’re trolling, but if you can’ only bring up 50 year old shit that’s not relevant, you might want to rethink your strategy.
