Citizens will not stop a coup attempt using guns. You're watching too many movies. Be realistic.

hdnsmbt ,

Right, when was the last time that happened on us soil again?

Also, do you actually see Americans as some kind of guerilleros? With current obesity numbers, there's no hiding in improvised shelters for most. Let alone simple but crucial things like "running". Did you think of how the country isn't totally unknown to the military, negating one of the major advantages for defenders in past such situations?

By all means, do not agree with me. You can't convince me you actually believe us citizens have a fighting chance against the fucking us military, though. Absolutely delusional!

hdnsmbt ,

Why are you ignoring my questions? I don't remember anybody saying "Iraqis are probably too fat and complacent for guerilla tactics". "Students of history" won't disagree that there's a huge difference between the 1970s us army fighting guerilleros in Vietnam and the 21st century us army fighting a bunch of tacticool idiots on us soil.

Did you notice that your only argument is "nah, it wouldn't be different" without any substantiation?

hdnsmbt ,

I made an argument and you went "nuh-uh!" Sorry I tried to have a conversation with you, I guess. Maybe reflect on what you expect from making online comments.

hdnsmbt ,

Yeah, I remember how you conflated Jan 6 with a military invasion. I then explained (argued even, you might say) how the scenario you're referencing has little in common with the us military engaging fat gun enthusiasts on us soil, to which you replied "nuh-uh!"

Now that we're all up to speed, can you elaborate on how you imagine citizens stop an actual military coup? Tanks are rolling up to seize the white house and there's Kevin (a farmer!!) with both his AR15s, a Desert Eagle and really cool shades. What's happening next in your fantasy?

hdnsmbt ,

So, you're not actually talking about a coup or a military invasion, you know, the topic you just had to inject yourself into. Cool. Have you tried using words that convey the ideas you want to express from the start? It works, I guarantee.

I don't want to talk about gun control, thank you. You should work on your reading comprehension in order to get a sense of what the other people are talking about and make fewer nonsensical deductions.

In your scenario fear, how do citizens with guns save the day, though? Does Kevin (remember, a farmer!) just start shooting? What do you imagine the police who are apparently on the side of the magas who shot first do with Kevin? Are you actually older than 15? Because not thinking things through and insisting they're right is what teenagers do.

hdnsmbt ,

I wonder why you're so afraid of a few questions. Do you act like that in real life? Postulating your opinion and then getting all flustered when it's challenged? Perhaps the format of a blog would suit you better than a comment section where you can't dictate the way the conversation goes.

hdnsmbt ,

But it's free! You love free stuff! Have some free emails!

hdnsmbt ,

Why do real men using root type sudo, though?

hdnsmbt ,

Penis is not even a curse word, why would they censor it? It's just the name for the dangling thing in some pants. Wh*t th* fuck?

hdnsmbt ,

I'm convinced those do very little for the environment. There was some really smart executive at the plastic bottle company who made this up so they can charge more from beverage companies.

hdnsmbt ,

Pretty sure they just didn't migrate to the new data structure and didn't actually delete the raw data. They're effectively deleted for users but not for Reddit.

hdnsmbt ,

Now factor in the game costs. The thread is about piracy.

hdnsmbt ,

8k over 15 years comes out to about 9 games per year. Not that doubtful at all. In any case, the point is piracy gets you more games for less money.

hdnsmbt ,

Another option is leaving earlier. Don't drive a car you can't see out of.

hdnsmbt ,

While there is certainly a lot of criticism of capitalism here, I don't think this particular thread is among them, to be honest.

hdnsmbt ,

How do all those immigrants move, though? Are they all secretly rich? Or are you, in fact, just comfortable enough not to want to move?

hdnsmbt ,

Yes. One is more uncomfortable than the other. I believe you already understand that.

hdnsmbt ,

They move at least once in order to be immigrants, from their home country to the foreign country they now live in.

I mean literally every single immigrant because that's the definition of an immigrant.

hdnsmbt ,

What did I say for you to badmouth me here, exactly? And why do you keep putting "they" in quotes? I can tell you're waiting for some big gotcha moment. What is it?

hdnsmbt ,

I wouldn't call it "thinking". Conservatives react more than anything. They react to progress (--> hate), change (--> hate) and things they're not familiar with (--> hate). They don't pro-actively think per se.
