- CamperBob2 10y agoWhat I understand is that nobody should fear a state monopoly on violence more than the left. What I don't understand is why they don't understand that.
- na85 10y ago>nobody should fear a state monopoly on violence more than the left This is your opinion only. >What I don't understand is why they don't understand that. Perhaps that's because you don't understand "the left" which is of course no more a monolithic, uniform entity than "the right". It's almost like politics is full of nuance, and issuing blanket statements like the above just simply doesn't work unless you're talking to people that love platitudes. Like the right. See what I did there?

- itwaseverything 10y ago>What I don't understand is why they don't understand that. Propaganda. Miseducation. Appeals to emotion. The usual totalitarian work. But don't think these tactics only work on the "left". We're all being played.

- dandersh 10y agoWhat they understand, that you don't, is that arms are not the only means to resistance and that they are not a particularly effective one at that. Furthermore they are watching the Black Lives Matter movement (which you apparently have never heard of) and how the 2nd Amendment Crowd (not all, but probably most) is responding by expressing their support for state violence. Personally I'm not a fan of gun control (guns are overrated) but I also laugh at suggestions like yours in light of how subservient and ingratiating the 2nd Amendment zealots are towards the police and military.
