Fuck all this “let’s not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent” bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let’s dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck

If you really believe the fascists are coming for us then go out and buy a gun, put a nice rainbow flag or black lives matter sticker on it, and prepare for the resistance. Don’t be afraid, be armed.
I am currently crippled.
… I do not really have that option.
Hopefully I can at least provide useful info or reasonable opinions.
Respectfully, you would have to be quite severely crippled to be unable to shoot a fascist. Not saying you need to be on the front lines, but get a gun.
I can’t walk.
Not more than a few minutes, gotta use braces and crutches or a cane to bump that up to maybe 45 minutes, before the pain is unbearable.
I only have one good hand.
And it is not my dominant hand.
Not trying to generally disagree with your advice, trying to say that I am indeed pretty fucking crippled at the moment.
Good news is prognosis of significant recovery is possible, but its gonna be a while longer of PT.
Whole lot of highly overstressed muscles and tendons, some seriously torn, good bit a nerve damage, at least all the fractures have healed by now.
Well if your recovery is not as good as you like, assistance devices are getting better and cheaper

We’ll have you doing wetwork one way or the other
Hah, I mean, unironically, something like that would help me greatly, but uh you know, healthcare’s just great in the US and all, superduper affordable and all that.
If that’s the route you want to go you’re going to need a lot more than just range toys.
People always say this but whoever got Charlie didn’t need more than that so I disagree. You’re not facing down the Air Force directly, you’re taking out leadership as you get the opportunity.
Besides, the implication of your argument is that we shouldn’t try because it will be hard and I think that’s some bullshit. Of course it will be hard but resistance is also necessary in the case where our very lives are being threatened. If you have to resist it’s better to do so with even a poor tool than it is to be empty handed.
If assassinations could win wars we’d already be living in an anarchist utopia - that’s what anarchists used to be famous for, remember?
Not at all… but it’s going to require a lot of “back-to-the-drawing-board” thinking.
What is guerilla war if not a series of well-planned assassinations by a much worse armed force. The USA showed the whole world how effective that tactic is at winning wars, by losing to it again and again.
That is absolutely not what insurgencies are. Assassination is a tactic - not a strategy - and it is most definitely not some “lens” through which to flatten and simplify what insurgency actually is. It’s that very kind of superficial thinking that is the whole reason the US military establishment cannot fathom why they can’t seem to win at this kind of warfare.
Just remember this… even dodgy tankie outfits like the Weather Underground and the RAF understood that assassination could only get them so far before it began backfiring on them in a big way - and, with hindsight, it’s easy to see that they were still being way too optimistic about it.
Sure you want to hold onto this idea?
What is warfare if not assassinations on a large scale?
FTFY.
That is certainly how colonisers view warfare - they do have the propaganda machines to explain it all away, after all.
Are you sure YOU do?
Assassination and slaughter are both describing the same thing. The only real difference is scale. Either way you’ve got one group of people deciding to achieve their goals via targeted violence against their enemies.
No, and no - the difference is vast.
I have to admit - I’m quite disturbed that people who are discussing the use of force against one of the most violent empires in human history doesn’t seem to understand the concept of force all that well.
On the ground organization and actual OPSEC are arguably more important, but I agree with the sentiment.
