yeah, it would be nice. the entire west except for rural USA has been systematically disarmed, and done so slowly and carefully it's not like the sudden gun grabs of the nazis or communists. and then followed up with all kinds of "soft war" techniques like immigration of people whose parents got killed by soldiers sent by the countries they are now migrated to, the toxic stuff in the food supply, the elimination of ESSENTIAL saturated fatty acids, the radio frequency and light pollution of "efficient" lighting and and "convenient" portable devices, all the "safe" chemicals in paints and plastics.
none of those things you can shoot back at, and then add the brainwashing to point out the statistics of increasing chronic illness, even sudden deaths, oh, that's a conspiracy theory.
no, it's really not, and why i talk about those warmongering, genocidal, soft kill, cult promoter plutocrats, is because it's not about the politicians. it's about the people sending them infinite money and picking winners and manipulating the market to benefit their portfolios, the number of dead bodies and destroyed property piling up and nobody blinking.
at this point, while the orchestrtators are basically untouchable, it's not possible to say that this lumpen mass of drones aren't now also not merely accessories but increasingly, accomplices to the crimes.
they all live in the cities, and much of the country people, especially the young ones, have gone to the cities because of how fucked up the whole agricultural/food industry has become, they had no prospect of a decent life as farmers, it's wide open to come out to these places, and it's really the only winning move against the plutocrats: to survive.
