Under the first Trump presidency, there was a substantial increase in politically motivated hate crime. So the answer to your question is both are true. If your existence isn’t a political issue, then you should still get armed to defend the people around you.

The gun isn’t to fight the military. It’s to protect against random acts of political violence.

Are you expecting someone to provide you with all the answers?

Organize literally anything; a labor union, tenant union, alternatives to capital, a community garden, etc. Getting involved means doing whatever you have the capacity to do. Sometimes organizing is long and challenging, sometimes it’s short and sweet. The thing is, there’s different recommendations for different types of organizing. A post like this really can’t get any more specific, because organizing is actually that broad of a topic.

Arm yourself to defend yourself and others from random acts of political violence. Use the arms to defend drag time story hour. Use the arms to protect the people you care about. Use the arms to watch cops. Get a gun, learn how to use it, and then only use it in emergency self defense. Having a substantial presence of guns at a protest against capital is already self defense, because cops know they can’t push the crowd too much. That’s why you shouldn’t wait for tanks to be rolling through before you arm yourself.

Mutual aid is part of organizing, and will become incredibly important over the next few years. If you want more insight then I recommend reading Kropotkin’s book on the matter.

If you’re looking for someone to follow, I recommend following yourself and your ideals. It’s very obvious that the point of the post is to take action, not to follow OP.

I’m excited to see them succeed. I love it when stuff is designed with function over form, and made practically. I’m a tall person, this is the only small electric vehicle I feel I could actually fit in

You missed my point. I own guns, know how to operate them, and know the names of the parts. I use magazine and clip interchangeably, because pointless pedantry doesn’t contribute anything to the conversation.

So then all magazines are clips, but not all clips are magazines.

You mean the table that the US government built by gutting US manufacturing in the 90s?

If you’re looking at this situation in a couple years, consider student organizing to change it

Tech companies hate disabled people generally, considering one of the largest tech unions in the US had a rally about disability rights earlier today

That’s a pretty cool cat

You mean the people the maintain the biggest logistics network in the world? Not sure, but it sure as fuck is relevant to news about the company that hosts 25% of the internet.

Got it. You believe that the only thing relevant to technology is the things being made, but the people that make those things aren’t relevant. Let’s see how much tech news will come from those companies when the workers stop working.

Labor is inseparable from it’s fruits.

AWS hosts 25% of the internet. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s not tech related, the company is in tech and unions within tech is a rapidly growing movement. Next you’re going to say that workers protesting at Microsoft isn’t tech related.

Lawfare will not stop us.

I honestly thought B&N would join them 10 years ago. I’m amazed that they managed to hang on

The best part is the juice, I always suck on the texickles so I get every drop

So he’s destroying the WordPress empire over higher profits? He should ask unity how that went

What started all of this? I was hoping for some background in the article

The IME has been a source for targeted attacks in the past. Firmware is just really more code, and can be exploited in similar ways. It’s a legitimate and longstanding criticism of IME and AMD’s PSP from privacy advocates.

Shit, I could be the most beautiful person in the world and I’d still take it.
