I mean, the guy with the gun can dictate whether you get to vote or not so....

This is the textbook example of "BOTH!"

Beat me to it. With ICE out there, I recommend getting a shotgun. If we take back our government, rock salt is still good for home defense without being as much of a danger to your family, and solid slug rounds now will make it so Nazis can't block a tv by standing in front of it. Paint thinner can be added to normal ammo for extra fun, but be sure to take body armor into account.

We should be flexing every muscle we have against the Nazi onslaught. Buy a gun. Vote, campaign, protest, but do it with a gun.

“The right-wing fascists are destroying rule of law with violence! We should accelerate the process!”
I do not understand this line of thinking.

Do you understand "This escalade has a death squad inside that's gonna kill me and I'd prefer to have the option to contest that outcome rather than get capped like a teacher under Pol Pot"?

The easy fix would be the greedy bastards redistributing their wealth, and getting it out of politics. The *simple* fix that's in our power is uhhh guillotines.

Guillotines wouldn't fix that, it just rests things for a brief period.
New individuals will develop new wealth, and you will be back where you were before.
Systemic inequality isn't a problem you can kill your way out of. It can only be fixed with widespread political reforms. Without that, nothing will change.
HoboKingNiklz
I want you to be right. This is the kind of reasoning that would be true in a just world. In our world, guillotines can be the catalyst for said reform. Violence is the only language the ruling class understands. We've been trying the nice way for decades, even centuries, and here we are.

If you look, 90% of the time a state chooses violence to solve these kinds of deep-rooted issues, it has only worked to make things worse.
Or they just end up in the same situation but with new people on top.
It's exceptionally rare that it makes a change for the better.
The issue is, people haven't really been trying at all. Most people have just been going along with things because its too much effort to make change. It's rare that people commit to change and get widespread support for it.
