If there's any point at which leftists start seriously popping off, it's either soon or never
I mean, if Trump tries to become dictator I'll die defending democracy and I'll take a lot of traitors with me if I can.
What does "popping off" mean?
It's something that only happens in Minecraft
How does playing Minecraft help? I really fail to understand you, sorry.
See, you perform certain... actions. In minecraft
We tried. They're just not who we're talking to, it's fine
They'll understand someday (outside minecraft)
It's a meme
They're advocating for violence but specifically not endorsing it because they aren't going to do shit.
Same with the people who are quick to jump in and say that they'll take traitors out. If you've a family or kids there's no way you're fucking risking your life and leaving your family to mourn by playing wannabe freedom fighter. And those that don't have a family and live in a basement would be too much of a pussy to actually go face to face with a mob or a military or a pseudo military like the cops.
Violence. It means violence.
You could check Urban Dictionary online, but as I understand it, pop off usually means to say or do something to great effect (such as effectively speaking truth to power). Doesn't have to only be about speech or putting someone in their place, but it often is.
All those fucking "we need to burn the whole system down instead of voting" bastards being REAL QUIET right now
Ftfy.
If they even think for a second about trying to organize any kind of violent crime they'll have FBI informants and surveillance all over their lives faster than they can say January 6th
FBI has been working to disrupt leftist organizing since the 50's and earlier. If they had been putting that amount of effort into RW projects, there would be none.
Also, to whatever extent, FBI doesn't need to disrupt leftists. They do that perfectly fine on their own.
Leftists need consensus to start moving, which takes way too long to get going, but once they do move the momentum is unstoppable.
Leftists suffer from the "No True Scotsman" syndrome.
