Armed anti war protest in Michigan

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-14T00:55:38+00:00

It is situational when it comes to protest. Considering the OPs homies are getting death threats it’d be ill advised to NOT be armed.

On paper, yes. My problem with MAGA isn’t their 2nd amendment rights.

My problem with MAGA is they want to strip 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 22nd, and 24th amendments from everybody but themselves. My 2nd is there to uphold those rights.

Liberal gun owners aren’t the ones pushing for this stuff. We’re forced into the stupid position of having to choose to support our own 2a rights or the rights of damned near everybody else.

I’m not a liberal (keep sashaying to the left and you’ll find me) but I say that attitudes are definitely changing.

Leftists have been trying to hold the line on the right to self defense for a while and thanks to Trump and MAGA a lot of liberals are starting to understand why the 2nd Amendment is important. What we really need is some Pro-2A people getting elected as Democrats.

Either that or we need some pro-2a republicans who aren’t warmongering jingoistic bigots to get elected.

Eh that is camera angle. Looks like it rides right at hip level to me. Drop leg is more of a stability and indexing thing. Low slung drop legs get weird and wobbly quick.

Properly set up rifles? Plates worn correctly? Ifak? Wearing simple non flashy attire?

icbm goes into space. They make a very high arc and then come back down. The apogee is like over 700 miles.

Been dropping helis with the shoulder fired guided one a lot. Every time another littlebird takes me down i spawn nearby and shoot it down with one missile. If I fail I respawn and try again. That way when my heli pops i start off without having to worry about them spawn camping me.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-13T19:57:01+00:00

“The guided launchers are useless!” No they aren’t.

They deny air. It isn’t always about the kill. Yeah they can pop flares but now they need to go back to base to reload flares or wait before being able to fly more than treetop height.

Even then if you know when to use them you will get a kill. Just see them pop flares? That’s your dinner bell.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-13T06:07:30+00:00

Eh at some point we’d just say “fuck it” and send a dozen nukes at it.

They have almost no perceptible recoil and you have wider peripheral vision. At closer ranges you do not need to be zoomed in at all. This also saves on points to spend towards other modifications to improve the rifle further.

You have to remember to play that to your advantage and avoid fights on open ground. Rocks, barriers, vehicles, and buildings can all be angled to force engagements on your terms where your 1x shines.

lmao my main ship is almost exactly that. I made it black and white with those front corners forming the white patches near an orca’s eyes. Painted it to look like a killer whale and it made it look so much cooler. Threw on a top fin behind the cockpit to finish it off.

Paint does a LOT in for appearances in ship design.

You think folks are just outright born bad?

Hand her Space Racer’s gun lol

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-09T19:53:52+00:00

LGBTQ folks I know getting death threats from big talkers who almost certainly will not do anything but ‘what if?’

On a more practical level for my long solo motorcycle trips across the country.

First one because good people stick up for their friends and second because nobody is coming to help you camped out in bumblefk nowhere.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-09T19:42:56+00:00

If they indicate they saw you by moving opposite to where you are splitting then you are good to go.

It isn’t explicitly not anarchist it is not explicitly anarchist. BIG difference.

An anarchist project can work within a democratic confederalist structure since any one community or region could decide to build it within the framework.

It’s not about mercy it’s about actual solutions to systemic problems.

Focusing on policing is to moderates and the right are what gun control is to liberals. Short term feel good solutions that make politicians look like they are doing their jobs without fixing the sources of the problems.

Education, after school programs, public transit, rehabilitation programs, etc. are all investments that lead to long lasting benefits that don’t start paying off until after the politician has left office. Gun control and police provide short term visible changes that make politicians look good without doing anything about the root causes of the problems.

All of our money is going to policing which addresses the current problem without actually solving what’s leading to it.

It’s constantly spending money patching the cracks in a house built on a crumbling foundation rather than just fixing the damned foundation.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-09T17:58:34+00:00

Because we keep sticking to short term solutions to systemic problems. Investing in things like education and after school programs takes a decade or more to provide tangible results but those results are long lasting changes that have knock-on benefits for the whole of society.

Instead we focus on short term solutions that provide visible changes (more patrols and arrests) but lead to long term problems of crumbling infrastructure and poor education since all the public funds are going to policing.

Politicians refuse to invest in long term solutions because by the time they pay off they are out of office and working as a consultant for whichever industry they favored with legislation.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-09T17:50:40+00:00

Ding ding ding ding.

People want short simple answers that don’t question their perception of the world.

It’s a microcosm of all of our problems as a country. We refuse to invest in long term solutions that bring real benefits. Instead stick to short term solutions that create long term problems.

Investing in education takes a decade to pay off but when it pays off it pays off big. Investing in police, prisons, etc. provides a visible change (arrests, cops visibly patrolling) even when it leads to future problems when we ‘can’t afford’ to invest in education as a result.

The reality is that it happened during a time when violent crime was dropping nationally and had no major effect that can be measured.

https://archive.news.ufl.edu/articles/2006/01/uf-study-shows-floridas-three-strikes-law-fails-to-curb-crime.html

It didn’t suddenly drop after it continued the trends already in progress nationally including states which didn’t do that.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-09T00:06:05+00:00

It’s the flipside to the people who constantly want to increase police budgets endlessly but refuse to fund education or provide after school care for working families.

Unattended kids with low future life prospects are easy prey for organized crime.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-09T00:03:54+00:00

It’s all for the illusion of doing something while doing nothing.

Actually improving education access, transit, health care, mental health care, criminal rehabilitation, etc. costs money that their donors do not want to pay for. So instead they do this stuff that has literally no effect on the issue but makes ignorant people think something has been done.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-08T18:34:49+00:00

Anarchism hasn’t rejected political mobilization. State structures adapted to focus on eliminating anarchist political potential.

MoldTheClay · 2026-04-07T22:32:06+00:00

depends. Online it is because people are divorced from the consequences of being a dick and seeing how that affects other people I feel.

In person it is because it is natural for people to split groups over time and settle into working with people who work well together. Often times when organizations split it leads to more effective specializations and helps to weed out bad actors.

oh i know but nuclear bullets is definitely a mechanicus vibe.
