    This shit's scary af, tbh. I'm getting to the point where I want to join a leftist org, share theory, and help the community - but even something as harmless as reading a book puts a target on your head.

    I want to learn how to shoot and join up with an armed group, but I don't want to own any firearms because of my depression. Ugh.

      Any organized armed group should have no problems setting up an "armory" for those who cannot or do not, want to keep firearms on them or in their homes at all times.

        One of the most positive responses I've ever got towards unionization in my area was when I brought up the idea of a union armory for defending ourselves against cops and fascists during the protests.

        Too bad anything like that would immediately paint a massive target on your back for both federal and local authorities who only want their fascist clubs having armories.

      It honestly bothers me how like, naive some leftists are. A lot of the antifascist groups in the US who directly fuck with fascists seem to keep an extremely low profile because they probably understand that NO ONE is going to help them or keep them safe (probably from direct experience) but the amount of naivete some DSA chapters and other leftist groups I've seen around me show is honestly jarring. Like the DSA near me has an instagram with people's faces and shit, and a local antifa news guy frequently posts pic of himself and his dog....

      It's like they bought the narrative that the USA is this democracy with respect for "both sides" when the Reinhol killing should have made it very clear what the deal is...
