He’s literally cozying up to Israel and the US and ignoring their occupation of/attacks on his lands, which ramped up when he overthrew the previous regime, weakening the country in the midst of extreme Zionist aggression.

I’d also love to know how he’s “protecting ethnic minorities” by launching raids against them and threatening to invade them to seize their towns.

Being a “moderate who protects ethnic minorities” by launching raids and threatening to fully invade their towns while ignoring Israels own occupation and bombardments against them.

You had me at “yes it’s Chinese”.

Everyone should study Che. The Goat. Yes I’m biased.

If you are as good as dead either way, why do you think it’s better to go down without a fight?

Being disarmed won’t save you, it just makes you an easier victim of the same forces.

Ahem…

They kinda asked for it.

In what ways?

What has Pete done to make you believe he is going after an audience that would disagree with this statement and/or that he would now disagree with this statement?

Your initial comment was that “2018 was a different time” I’m trying to understand what you think has changed so drastically since then.

Well Americans aren’t a monolith and as I said, individuals taking action against a government achieves nothing. Do you believe America has achieved a mass leftist movement capable of overthrowing the govt?

Unless you are in China, Cuba, Vietnam, or NK you really don’t have a valid platform to criticize a people not overthrowing their government, have you partaken in the overthrow of your government/do you agree with your government?

Considering the OP is mocking a “leftist” liberal advocating the disarmament of the people. Do you think OP/most people agreeing with OP here are right wing liberals or ollectivist leftists? It seems to me you are advocating for liberal individualism or from a similar liberal view unless I’m drastically misunderstanding something.

No it wasn’t. Hell, it was even 2 years into the first Trump term.

Do you think he would say anything different now?

Do you expect individuals to go up to their local government and let loose? What do you think the result of that would be?

That’s not how resistance movements work and never has been.

You must build first. Read history.

Nobody defended the Republicans, in fact the premise of the comment you are replying to is about how bad the Republicans are and how they need to be resisted.

How do you plan on resisting once you’ve been disarmed? Just vote out fascism? …Yeah that’s always worked.

The only reason you would want to be disarmed, is so that you have an excuse for your passivity.
