This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

and leave the violent fascists in red states and the government to have a monopoly on violence? get fucked.
So you think your 9mm is going to defend you from a government tank when it actually comes down to violence? You're fucked, gun or no gun.
You're forgetting that the US lost 3 wars to guerilla tactics, 2 of those in the last decade
The US lost because of domestic pressure to end those wars. Militarily the US was never in danger of defeat. Do you think that the current US administration is going to give a singular shit about domestic pressure once the shooting starts? If the military sides with the government, the government wins. If the military sides against the government the government loses.
The war in Afghanistan went on for 20 years, with Iraq and Vietnam lasting not much less. And once the US military left all of those countries, all of the regimes that the US put into place fell apart relatively quickly.
In what universe are those conditions a win? In what universe are they even a tie?!?
I know you're just parroting an argument you've seen written by someone else before. Maybe it's because of patriotism. Maybe it's because of pride and not wanting to admit defeat. Maybe it's something else. Regardless, I ask that you take a step back and actually think about your comment logically.
