> Do you at least acknowledge the reality of how laughable your “natural right” to resist would look against even a minute fraction of the state’s power?

Acknowledge? Yes. We gave them all the guns.

Accept? Consent to? Absolutely not. I despise the status quo and want to see my children grow up in a more free society than what we're living in now. Unfortunately things have consistently gone in the wrong direction and I seem to be in the minority of people not okay with that, but I'll still do what I can as one man.




What you can do as one man is precisely nothing, except to make yourself feel a bit better. Caring in the absence of organizing and acting, is that really caring? At the very least our priorities are made clear by our actions and not our attitudes.


Who says I'm not organizing and acting?


Fair point, I took your “one man alone” comment to mean something it didn’t necessarily imply. I’m sorry for any offense I’ve caused with that unwarranted assumption.


No offense taken.
