    I think that tankie is trying to say that a revolution needs to grow organically, and no intervention will be cheap with human lives.

    The rest of the world needs to adopt the US constitution 2nd Amendment rights. If everyone had guns, all dictators and authoritarians would sweat.

      Weapon democracy doesn’t compute well without an effective information and accountability apparatus aka ‘the media’, education system and judiciary.

      “If you don’t know where to target, what use is a weapon?”


      Weapon democracy is also pretty bad at peaceful power change. Shooting down every generation of dictators vs e.g. trialling organisations and people opposed to democracy™ sends different messages for, say, mediation.

      And the US, in it’s boundless generosity, has shown the world how not to do the right to bear arms. The moment they start being weird about it and turning it into a personality trait just punch them in the dick.
