    It’s fine for you to suggest Americans should take up arms against their government.

    That said, do you really think the individual American should do that?

      Against the government - no of course not. Against the handful of people driving it into the ground - absolutely.

      … and what’s ‘fine’ is at the mods’ discretion. I’ve been temp banned several times for having basically this conversation. Thing is, the options on the table right now are sit quietly and let the Nazis continue to take over the US government (shit tons of violence on a massive scale), or in the absence of any form of checks and balances to include effective peaceful protests or voting: cut the snake’s head off (still violence, but the least violent option we have). …but pulling that trolley lever to take the less violent path is still ‘advocating for violence’ here.

      We’ll find out soon if this comment crossed the line.
