getting started early today are we.

Keep in mind, the cops, the feds, all the shit birds in uniform; they weren't shit if you were on the streets in 2020.

The real threat was always chuds.

In 2025, the chuds are in uniform now.

Don't say that! You might hurt their cop feelings! :(

Someone should really go to one of these protrests with a fly reel with donut on the end of it.

I mean, there is legitimately more constraints, however paper thin, on someone in uniform than someone not in uniform.

A chud has no such constraints. And we haven't heard much from them in a minute.

But this is what happens when you disregard the social contract which law represents. Put on a uniform and crime is now legal.

And we haven't heard much from them in a minute.

I think you walked right into the point and missed it.

Why haven't we heard about the Oathkeepers, the 3 Percenters, or the Proud Boys lately?

Because Trump put them in uniforms.

Yeah, cops don't do things like checks notes

Flashbang a baby...

Repeatedly publicly execute non-resisting people with no trial or process...

Stand around not only allowing a school shooter to execute children but actively preventing parents from getting to their children...

They've always been chuds, but white people have been allowed to pretend they aren't by playing along with the convenient fiction that all black people are dangerous criminals who deserve to die

Edit: Trusting cops LITERALLY GOT THE PEOPLE IN THE NEWS ARTICLE WE ARE COMMENTING ON SHOT

I swear the Internet breeds a certain kind of idiot allergic to reading comprehension.

As bad as cops are, there are material constraints placed on them. Thats the reality you are in. They aren't always enforced, they aren't good enough, but they exist.

There are no constraints on a 3%'er.

I've lined up against the PPB and I've lined up against Proud Boys.

I'm not fucking remotely concerned about the PPB in the same way that I am about white nationalists.

And if your 🪱 🧠 is to far gone to comprehend the difference, leave the decisions to people who have some experience.
