    Too bad most progressive left leaning people who this comic is talking about don’t own firearms to fight the ruling class.

    And if you’re reading this thinking of rebuking with “there’s a lot of liberal gun owners”, the reality is that most of pro gun culture is monopolized by right wing Republicans and not only do they outnumber you by an alarmingly high order of magnitude, they side with the boot lickers and cops who protect the ruling class.

      thats the sad truth of it, they ain’t massacring us because we ain’t a threat. but back when we were, in not-so-distant past, workers were murdered for disrupting and striking.

      they don’t care about climate change beyond how it affects their power. they will not just repent and hand the world over.

          Yes and no. We don’t have school shootings so that’s a plus. I guess not having guns is the cost of that, which is pretty fair. Some people are allowed guns, but you need a special license for it.

          Edit: also we actually have stronger unions and more strike action even without guns. They don’t actually help outside of a revolution. If anything we have less police violence because we don’t have guns, so the most of police don’t either. As a police officer you have to have special specific training to even handle a taser, nevermind a gun.

            Sounds like a great role model to follow. Since you never mentioned what country you are fucking talking about we all will assume it’s a random one. So let’s just say, you’re talking about Mongolia.
