    Ooh… “agitating”. Anonymously, online. That’ll teach ‘em.

    Got the right to carry and access to lethal tools? Use them. They don’t care about words, only the ability and commitment of one’s ability to win over another. They’ve spent years cultivating their personality over the threat of force, they’re unsurprisingly shocked when confronted with the same and frequently cowed by it. Action > agitation.

        Got fists? They’re susceptible to those too. Hell, my ex was born without a leg and I watched her put her prosthetic into the balls of a bonehead once. And lemme tell ya, prosthetics are way more solid than bone.

        But I’ll say this. If you ever wonder why leftist Americans aren’t gunning MAGAts down in the streets, it’s because we know what happens when people start gunning each other down in the streets. Rights and access should imply responsibility, because a gun has but one purpose; to expedite the ending of a life, no matter how despicable one might find the person on the other end. That’s it. All they ever were, and they were more than that moment, and all they could ever be; it’s over. Same for knives, bombs, fists, whatever you use to end another person. That’s it, they’re gone, you live and no matter how justified you feel, you ended another. You live with it and they don’t. And that violence bleeds to others who didn’t deserve it, those caught in the crossfire and those who lived knowing the other side of the monster you slayed; the parent, the sibling, the friend, the whatever.

        😔. Eh, we’ll probably do as we think we must. Maybe history will validate us. Fuck me, that sucks.
