I mean, not really. My desires are even less specific than yours. I just want to be left mostly alone.
That alone means I deserve to die according to my political opponents, and the reality of conflict is that stakes and depths are decided by the more extreme position.
Your choices are to meet them in kind, or to lose.
So yes, the left has yet to shoot at me. But that's 100% a tactical decision not a moral one for them. Pretending otherwise, pretending that we can have a gentleman's conflict is an illusion that ends the exact second they have a clear shot.
Congrats on your moral high ground, ill be sure to ask them to engrave it on your fancy tombstone.
If you want to be left alone then you would be better off not engaging in any violence. As much as I hate leftist ideology, it's a bit ridiculous to assume that everyone who expresses a left wing opinion is trying to kill me. One of your relatives, your neighbor, a fellow church-member, the old lady ringing up your merchandise; they could be naive Biden voters or maybe they were influenced by some reddit posts; are they enemy combatants? Do you need to attack them now before they attack you? That kind of tribalism is a rabbit-hole that never turns out well.

Yeah, this bullshit is straight up lies or ignorance. That kind of tribalism is the foundation of every stable, peaceful society in human history. I challenge anyone to name just one society that made no differentiation between society members and outsiders that lasted even a single generation. They don't exist because they were all conquered or wiped out by people who did.
Sure some tribal societies ended badly, but that's because everything has to end some way eventually and some inevitably won't be great, it's not inherently part of tribalism. Patriotism is tribalism on a grand scale, and the US used to practice it to a large degree. That didn't lead to the US becoming genocidal maniacs did it? No, they just quietly gave up patriotism without a single shot fired (much to the general detriment of the people now helpless to outside exploitation by people who do still practice tribal solidarity). Tribalism is a tool for better leveraging people's power and saying it's inherently evil is just as dumb as saying guns are inherently evil.

Tribalism as a scare word is why we're in this mess.
Fuck off cunt.

You're replying to the wrong guy mate.
I don't think he's reachable tho. Neocon piece of shit that he is.
Oy vey, now the pieces are falling into place.
