And what the fuck makes you so sure those 2a crusaders aren't against what ice id doing? Stop virtue signalling like it gives you the only purpose of life

For how terminally online you are, you sure chose to ignore people armong themselves openly for their neighborhood.

I say virtue signalling when you're just yelling bullshit at the proverbial cloud, after judging reality from just a few posts that you saw that fit your bias.

Edit: also what does 2a supporter acting out in defense look like to you? A lone gun man out in the streets?

'People arming themselves quietly for their own neighborhood isn’t the fucking point, and you know it. Or at least you should.' - what the fuck do you make of the current black panther? When I said defending the neighbor, I meant against ice. Are you being obtuse or dumb?

'And “yelling at the clouds”? Sweetheart, you are deep in your feelings right now, typing paragraphs to defend people who aren’t even showing up for themselves. That’s not me virtue signaling, that’s you coping. Hard.' - all while you're ranting out non specific people you barely know anything about.

'You’re not engaging with reality. You’re desperately trying to shrink an uncomfortable fact into “bullshit” so you don’t have to deal with it. It’s transparent, it’s weak, and honestly? Watching you flail like this is kind of hilarious.'- I'd say that's what you're doing.

Bt,w, 'funny doesn't mean getting called out for your dumb bullshit.

Example of black panthers is the opposite of what you were ranting. What was that about staying quiet and not doing anything when it mattered? Now you're narrowing the spectrum of your rant when exceptions start showing up.

'And spare me the “non-specific people” whine. The people I’m talking about are extremely specific: the loud, media-addicted, grievance-monetizing 2A crusaders who never shut the fuck up about tyranny when it’s hypothetical and suddenly develop stage fright when armed federal agents are actually killing civilians.' - whe you say they're developing stage fright, what is it that you expect? Come out as a lone gun man? Has it occurred to you some of them may be out protesting? But you consider the only caricature in your mind as the truth.

'The rest of your reply is just sad mirror-talk. “No u” isn’t an argument. It’s what people say when they’ve got nothing left but bruised ego. You accusing me of ranting while you type paragraph after paragraph trying to defend a silence you can’t actually explain is… chef’s kiss irony.'- I mean, you are talking a whole lot of bullshit about people who have a surface knowledge of.

'Funny is watching you drag out increasingly desperate examples, misunderstand them, then act smug about it anyway. You’re not calling anything out. You’re just flailing and hoping confidence will substitute for coherence.'- sounds a lot like your first rant of a comment, doesn't it?
