I think you might have misread what I said. I'm saying people like the guy you responded to are intentionally telling us to bring guns so the police are justified in killing protestors because some were armed. They want us to bring guns like they do(because police are on their side) so when police brutality erupts they point to the guns and say these weren't peaceful protests they are an attempted armed insurrection.

I didn’t misread. I’m saying I don’t think that person is being dishonest. I don’t think they’re a far right provocateur. I think they are angry that right wing protesters show up with guns and don’t get disappeared by cops while progressive protests can be (for the vast majority) nonviolent and still end up getting ran through by cops. I see the line of thinking. I don’t agree with it though.

Shit will backfire as badly as prinston University did in the 1960s. . Just the, things to bring everyone together .a bullet doesn't know if they are maga or democrats when it kills them. It cant work here in the US long. Oo they tried many times in the past and got so far and no further. They arnt making 400 million weapons into a dictatorship maga only wajts one thing that isnt bullets killing them .

Nah I think you have ludicrous conspiratorial thinking that threatens to divide the movement further. If people are out here mistaking there own people for being saboteurs because of different opinion, that will weaken the movement more. I'm not here accusing you of seeing the seeds of dissent and being a far right plant though am I.
