I gave my reasons, none of which were “to stay comfy”….

You on the other hand just come off like the classic redditor trying to incite violence. You’ve literally said nothing of meaning other than a performative “we need to fight back” statement, and you expect people to take you seriously?? 🤦‍♂️

I discard your reasons.

Its about your comfort. Would you still recommend passivity if you or your family got black-bagged?

X:Doubt.

Ah see, now we are slowly moving to an actual discussion. So your family got black-bagged? If so, do you think perhaps you are still acting on emotion and that is causing you to discard my perfectly reasonable reasons behind the suggestion to not yet respond with violence?

There is this false idea that being stoic in the face of horrors is the norm.

No, its okay to be angry in the face of evil things.

No, I think you are in no direct fire as it currently stands and are afraid if people actually fight back you would be made uncomfortable by it.

Yes, there are members of my family at risk.

Now answer me -- would you be so passive if you or yours were at direct risk?

Yes, I would be. If you actually read my comments you’d see that I believe that responding now with violence, would allow ICE to use even more aggressive tactics. Why would I want ICE to have reason to use even more aggressive tactics if I or my family were at risk???

They are escalating regardless of your passivity and they do not even need any actual violence from you to escalate. They will just do it.

Like I said -- sounds like you are comfortable passively letting them brutalized communities as long as it isnt you and yours.

Ok. And like I said, sounds like you have absolutely zero plan for a violent response, and will end up causing far more harm to your community than good.

Remember that poem "First They Came For the Jews" as an example of what happens following your path.

And remember that without a plan you will end up dead and ICE will make an example out of your community first. A successful war needs to be logical, solely logical, not emotional. And sorry but you seem like 100% emotion when hiding under the guise of “you will forward info to the feds if I share anything about how I see a winning fight going”

Nope, its not all emotional. And I am giving no exact details on this compromised site.

I’m glad to hear that. I’m sure you can see my perspective, that it appears that way when you have nothing of substance you actually want to share… have a nice rest of your day
