Fuck all this "let's not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent" bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let's dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

I don't think they will be doing anything other than what they were already doing - I mean, they didn't actually do all that much after Trump himself nearly ate a bullet. They will try to milk his death and feed it into justification propaganda, though.
Since this comment, Trump has promised to go after dissidents (Truth Social warning!). I'm still in the "fuck it we party" stage but some point soon we gotta prepare for what's coming.
Prepare how? Stock up on range toys and ammo, like some people on here are saying?
That's not going to be nearly enough - they wrote 2A based on the assumption that there will always be more than enough white supremacist goons to overwhelm any leftist resistance - and, so far, that assumption has proved perfectly correct. The people at Blair Mountain was armed to the teeth - so were the people in Greenwood. US-style "gun culture" has never served the left very well - I'd argue that it actually does something even worse than nothing... it lulls leftists into a sense of false security.
I'm not saying arming yourself is a bad thing... but the idea that firearms mean automatic salvation is a peculiarly US-only idea that has more to do with pop culture than reality.
The left has been playing nothing but defense since the Culture War began, and it just took four years of Biden's liberal counter-insurgency to sweep even that under the rug. That's where the weakness of the left truly lies.
I don't oppose that, but it needs to be part of a greater plan about how to deal with being targeted by the State for repression. I.e., escape plans, plans for if martial law comes to town, plans for going underground, and plans with the community about how to handle the upcoming oppression.
My point is more "hey everyone this was cool but there's gonna be some negative consequences too".
IMO "stocking up" is necessary but nowhere near sufficient as a solution to weather the upcoming storm. I agree with everything else you said 🙂
Another thing to plan for but which is rarely covered: learn a trade. If the actual SHTF scenario goes down, you're going to be on your own for a lot of shit you depend on society for right now. A lot of us are practicing home gardening, and that's awesome, but what about power generation and transfer? What about keeping your vehicle operative? Stuff like that. I've been taking some welding courses at a community college in case I need to fix something that can't be replaced. I'm considering also taking some electrician and plumbing courses.
The libs in America want nothing more than to be lulled to sleep by a lib government.
