    They also conducted armed patrols in predominantly black neighborhoods as overt public safety and visual deterrence to prevent racist cops from oppressing minorities.

    If you did this today, it would work well because it would deter ICE from randomly detaining brown people, since fascists have small dicks and are cowards.

    Too bad democrats and Lefties don’t own any guns, and are toothless.

    Edit: fun fact, black people owning guns, and the Black Panther party, is the primary reason Republicans backed by the NRA, passed gun restriction laws across the country. They don’t want you to own them, and you limp ballsacks agreed with them. Now all we can do is wave signs and waggle fingers at protests. Fascists only respect violence.

      I honestly don’t understand where this idea that we don’t have guns comes from. Sure, i don’t have a wall full, but I’ve only got two hands.

        we’ve got some years of neoliberal 2a infringements to live down. you’re right, but there’s a reason cops feel way more comfortable doing no-knock raids and shooting into black people’s homes than Bradleigh McGoatfucker’s trailer

          And that reason is systemic racism.

            Well, that and ruby ridge, waco, oklahoma city. Youll notice after tjose three, enforcement on the right basically stopped cold.

            To the point an anti abortion terrorist straight up bombed the 96 olympics and they did nothing for years, while he kept bombing clinics.

            Turns out violence does in fact work.

        Decades of propaganda intentionally conflating the inherently right-wing, neoliberal establishment as being left-wing.

        Okay but what gun do you use the next day, while those two are at the cleaners?

        What about your skull gun? The holdout you keep in your shoe? Or your ornamental gun rack huns to show how many guns you have to everyone who sees your car?

        Two just isnt enough.

      fun fact, they had a lot of teenagers joining who were insistent on being given access to a gun. the older cadres would refuse to hand them a gun until they were up to date on their reading material and had proven themselves by doing exemplary fieldwork over a sustained period of time.

      buying a gun by itself won’t do anything but act as a trophy. the reason their public carry campaign had profound impacts was because they organized their communities to act as a united front first.

      also the most radical chapters knew how to respect their own autonomy over the national leadership’s sometimes nonsensical dictats. horizontal organizing and direct action gets the job done.

      More importantly, their brains weren’t under constant brute-force attack by propaganda. Can’t de-program cultists while they’re still hooked up to the programming.

      i see this as similar to teaching your family not to click on malware pop-ups. you first make it easier for them by installing adblock. then you teach them how to pirate so they can source their own media. then maybe they’ll pick up some OS skills by learning about file extensions. drip-feeding information that makes them feel smart and autonomous over a long period of time is the way to go in my opinion.

      by marketing genAI as spamware and encouraging community book clubs, hopefully people will realize that genAI use is a maladaptive coping mechanism. i think shunning is also a very powerful tool, framing genAI use as crossing the picket line and being a scab is a metaphor I enjoy.

    sounds like some hierarchical shit to me. I need to get back to purity testing my peers and showing everyone how morally good I am.

    Unrelated, but there was a black panther movement in Israel, lead by Arab Jews with solidarity with Palestinians, they were persecuted by the government.
