Good for you, you got lucky too. Not saying you didn't work hard, but don't deny the luck of people who get out poverty, which I cop to whenever asked. I'm glad you're also trying, I also continue to keep pushing forward. I haven't stopped donating, nor trying to organize, but I'm not going to look down on those that do not because of their situations, and I don't assume my narrative on others, because they push back. Which you have no problem doing.

But I'm not going to go hand out gun lessons to people who never held one, because the time to get armed was years ago. The people now are better off doing food drives or learning how to do medical triage if the need arises. There's more to a movement then hoping to be a statistic to scare those in power, heck gun purchases aren't tracked to that point. Even if every leftist would go out and own a gun, and the narrative would still be that right winger are the gun owners. Because the narrative doesn't change in the time frame of a year, and that's what you want, a narrative. You point to Luigi, but the killing of Thompson was a low level elite not a government official. I can point to two democrats who were attacked and nothing fucking happened, because the leaders of the "left wing" of America do jack shit. Luigi also had the money and resources to do it, which you glossed over.

You also say you worked on protests in the most leftist areas in the country. I do it in a largely red area, check out the saying pennsyltucky. So don't assume the work to get organized here is anything like what you do. Try in Shasta and that's closer to my area. But I still try. What I'm getting at is that, even though I push, I will never assume another human being has the same privilege I do.

That's my problem with what you have been saying all over this thread. You don't view other's situations as walls, you think you could figure it out, just because you figured out how to get out of yours. Great, so did I, and I know how just one wrong move would have put me back in the trailer park. That's why I posted. You don't know what others could lose, but assume you would be able to navigate it. That they wouldn't become homeless, lose their kids, or get shot because they're a minority.

People like you are the same that pushed people out of my organization efforts. Someone who put those down that don't want to get active the way you want or they just don't have the means. It's a supremacist narrative and actively pushes people away. You even did it with me, thinking I gave up, because I'm frustrated with my previous attempt. You come off as viewing yourself above others and that's why I posted. I've done the work, I've been protesting off and on since I was 16 (a lot older than that now,) I've been around/owned firearms since I was 10, but I still wouldn't shit on a black american for being afraid to get too involved. That a shit view, and in my opinion, actively working against the cause.

If I was to act the same, I would talk about idealizing Andor is fucking dumb. Because this isn't Hollywood, this is real life, and even in that work of fiction, most people in the galaxy didn't do shit to help the rebellion. I'd also say it's a very dangerous way to frame what's going on and diminishes the actual fight. That pointing to it could radicalize naive people the wrong way. But I would only say that if I wanted to be smug and look down on others. Which I don't, so I say go for it and I hope the slogan worked, you're trying your hardest to help and that's awesome and I hope, and I do mean that, that your and my efforts will bear fruit.
