    I’ve noticed that Americans do not consider using an armed rebellion against evil corporate practices but talk about 2A rights all the time.

      but talk about 2A rights all the time.

      Most of the 2A talks come from people who want to start evil corporations.

      No armed rebellion is complete without a technical built from a Toyota Hilux, which we sadly only get the slightly larger variant, the Tacoma.

        The truth about the perfect vehicle for armed uprisings isn’t that they only use Hiluxs. That’s simply a myth. The truth is that no other vehicle has ever been able to complete even a single mission. You send 20 Hiluxs and 40,000 Tacomas into battle? You’ll soon have 20 Hiluxs and 40,000 heaps of burning inferior pieces of junk. The Hilux has proven time and time again that it isn’t just the perfect vehicle for an armed rebellion, it’s the only vehicle able to survive.

        And them’s the facts.

      As an American I can break it down for you. The people who wont stop about 2A are sheep, sheep get told what to think, so when the “news” tells them that doing anything to make life better in America will actually make life worse and is some form of evil -ism (communism, socialism, etc.) that they have been programmed to hate, they believe it without question. These clowns are incapable of creating a personal opinion, they just accept the narrative that their favorite talking head gives them, and think they came up with it all on their own.

      This is without even getting into the tribalism that makes these beliefs they have been given feel like a part of their identity, and thus making it near impossible to change.

      I’m not really concerned about these idiots losing their guns, because they’re too much of pussies to actually use them on the correct enemy. They don’t know who the enemy is, let alone be able to read. They’re easily indoctrinated. Not only that, their co-opted, their messages are taken away from them. I mean, they’re just such a servile people. For me, I mean, if there ain’t no revolution, because there ain’t gonna be one inside of the Imperial core, the gun would just be used on myself to kill myself, so I just don’t have a gun. I mean emotions fluctuate, you know?
