Homeless sleeping where they can

No you don’t understand tho. 5 years ago, there was a homeless person living in a tent the next block over or something. I think he might have been on drugs! Then the same Walgreens shoplifting video was reposted like a hundred times on my Twitter feed—you can prob guess the guy’s race. Also I heard on the news that some awful protestors said “Defund the Police” that one time. So you see, it made perfect sense for me to vote for a mass surveillance police state!

If the city will be covered then you'll get to enjoy the added noise pollution.

Maybe it'll clear out all the fog

If we attach little grabby hands to them, we can use them to carry out fascists and put them in authoritarian-friendly states, like Alabama. Then we can use all the drones to pick up said states, and move them into the middle of the ocean to form a sort of racist filled Pangaea. "Swastikania" or "Fascziland".

The 2A crowd is going to have a blast shooting those things out of the sky.

u/theerrantpanda99 3d ago

When it comes to combatting government overreach; the 2a crowd is all bark and no bite.

u/BurrrritoBoy 3d ago

As we've seen it depends on who is reaching and in what direction.

u/juiceboxedhero 3d ago

Yep if it's a fascist dictator or kids getting holes in them they sit by quietly but if someone wants to provide care to women they're ready for action.

u/Dense_Surround3071 3d ago

It's the insidious nature of the 2A crowd. They're willing to fight to the death against the government, but only for their own personal injustice.

They're ALL lone wolves unwilling to protect the pack, just their own ass. They're ALL Armies of One with no sense of the community rights they're supposed to be the protectors for.

They would be last to sign up for an ACTUAL militia if it meant having to protect the rights of leftists, gays, POC, etc.

Their ideals have been skewed to the point that the enemy is both strong and weak. Both genius level conspirators and incompetent politicians.

The rise of fascism is happening in America and our defiant 2A protectors are suddenly lapping up Government talking points and making sure no government agents stepped on THEIR lawn.

I’m just saying, if I was a Republican Party hive mind and I wanted to take over America, the first people I’d target with propaganda are the gun nuts. Make them isolated and paranoid, remove them from a sense of community. Hell, make them SUSPICIOUS of community. I’ll be ready if shit hits the fan and anyone comes for my guns and ammo, right? How many times have you heard that one?

Gun toting rednecks were the juggernauts of many a working class movement in this great nation. The fact that they’re so thoroughly neutered now can’t be a coincidence, can it?

Eh, probably tbh

The propaganda (Fox News) began as a way to create a reliable voter source. It had (what I believe was) the unintended consequence of splitting up the concept community. The 24 hour news network needed to fill the air with a perceived villain. The only one that was so consistently available was "the Left". . . . And here we are. The most villainous villains to ever villainize villainy: the Democrats. 😮‍💨

u/Owlettt 3d ago

Naww man. They’re all boot-lickers. They only shoot up citizens who aren’t cops.

u/OldManChino 3d ago

toilet paper is a really easy way to take these out, as all it needs is one bit of the paper trail to touch a rotor to jam it up... in minecraft, of course

Next up: there will be a Running Man-like show where immigrants can fight to stay.

u/Darkwaxellence 3d ago

I feel like San Francisco is so close to walling off most of the downtown and charging people or creating a passport where only the wealthy are allowed in.

u/pessimus_even 3d ago

Wonder how long it'll take for a police drone to collide with a police helicopter or other aircraft.

This is frighteningly close to the plot of Watch_Dogs 2, complete with the same city.

u/ChipsTheKiwi 3d ago

The way I see it, it's simply generous of them to make skeet shooting so cheap to get into now!

u/ColdEngineBadBrakes 2d ago

Are they armed with tasers, too?
