      The thing with you fools is that you don’t realize that is the only way an authoritarian force can oppress a popular majority; convince every single person that this strategy is their best individual chance at survival.

      If you want to have a firearm and choose to defend your home with lethal force, whatever, my point is your fear and immediate escalation of violence is what they are counting on.

      I am not saying don’t defend yourself from masked people that may or may not be ICE agents, I am saying understand the way in which their violence is designed to tell a public narrative about your villainry so shape your reaction in whatever way you can (which if you can’t isn’t your fault) to subvert those easy narratives that attempt to dissect and simplify your savage cry for help into a theater of savage disambodied forces of evil…

        Fool? Obviously you cannot see my tongue pressed in my cheek because you’re too busy being an “uncivil” asshole.
