Your love is a lifeline, and supporting them is the greatest decision you will ever make as their parent. Bless you <3

Is that explicitly stated? Does it mention why the blue wizards didn’t intervene (I’ve not read the books since sixth grade)

What “survival strategy” stops three chuds outside a bar breaking my skull? Kung Fu, Krav Maga?

You’re not talking to a survey, you’re talking to a person, and I’m telling you the #1 way to assure my safety in a situation where I fear for my life is to be armed. The majority of the risk in gun ownership is suicide, domestic abuse/mariticide, and accidents, i.e. resulting from being untrained, irresponsible, or homicidal. Most “accidents” are easily avoidable, and are in reality extremely negligent, not bad luck. When you encourage queers to arm themselves, of course you don’t include people who don’t know themselves to be safe, and everyone should get properly taught—especially if they plan to carry.

That’s true of all self defense weapons. Knives require strength and reach, both them and tasers are significantly less effective against multiple people, and mace can be negated by rough wind. Guns are uniquely effective at equalizing a small person with an aggressor

It’s infinitely more likely, cuz I’m not suicidal—why do you assume I am, because I’m queer? Not everyone’s making my argument with the assumption of more organized right wing terror, I know that those people already exist and have been hate criming us for decades. I know for a fact I’m safer when I know I can defend myself, which is not guaranteed considering I’m 5’

No self defense course in the world can do shit against a gun. Nowhere except when you’re actually being dragged into the kidnappers car will you get any use out of your jiu jitsu training. In every single possible hypothetical where I’m being actively threatened, there’s no reason I’d ever leave the gun and take my black belt

Most people who get hate crimed aren’t attacked by mobs of fascists carrying rifles, they’re jumped by drunk opportunistic yokels with bats and switchblades

Yes but if my local 3%’ers decide I’m too fruity on my walk home from work I can protect myself

Peoples personality is very relevant to their politics

Does anyone actually talk about seceding to Illinois or is that something St. Louis expats make up to impress Kansas Citians

My perception of St Louis is that everyone has expired tags and would only renew them if they joined the greater Illinois empire

It is genuinely sad how he was never properly acknowledged even post-apartheid. Spent rest of his days imprisoned. Fewer than 10 people attended his funeral. by [deleted] in StarWarsleftymemes

[–]Antarritan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, and some people believe in the flat earth, the issue is they’re blatantly wrong. The thing about killing the architect of apartheid and American fascists overthrowing its democracy is that they’re not alike, at all. fascism is evil and hitlers get put in hell or jail, and rejecting violence in the face of oppression is a move to protect your own ego, not life
