- joshenders 5y agoIt’s absolutely delusional to think that armed citizens could contend with a modernized military, especially in the US. That time has passed. Take for example how well BLM protestors managed against lightly militarized police—and they get scrap compared to current military tech. This argument may make sense in less developed nations but it’s time for legislation in the US to wake up to the 21st century.

- ezekg 5y ago> It’s absolutely delusional to think that armed citizens could contend with a modernized military I think the Ukrainian conflict has shown this to be much more nuanced than your absolutist remark allows. Not to mention the Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam conflicts, all showing how a modernized military can indeed be fought using less-than-sophisticated means.
