    Conservatives would be the first to call anyone participating in the uprising unamerican and would be more likely to form reactionary militias supportive of the fascist government than to overthrow anything

      Hadis Najafi was a feminist. A world hero. I hope one day in a brave new feminist world, she has a holiday. I wish I had met her. I’d give anything to have met her. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but if heaven were real I would get to meet her. How can one person be so courageous?

      She fought without being armed because she was a hero and she couldn’t not fight. She had enough and said fuck it, I know I’m going to die and don’t care. Although she said “I like to think that when I think about this a few years later I’ll be pleased I joined the protest” I believe a part of her new she could die, I think this was something she said to comfort herself. Heroes fight even when the odds aren’t great. I wish I could become a good and courageous person like her.

      You think it’s bad now?

      Don’t be myopic. This is a woman who would have been a hero with our without weapons, but she could have done more if she had the right to bare arms.

      Yes, it matters and the NRA matters and feminism matters and the solution is making sure women have more and larger guns and better tactical training.

        No the NRA doesn’t matter, right wing support of weapons doesn’t matter. The left wing support of weapons matters.

          Is there such a thing? Is there a left wing organization battling for the rights of women to own any weapon she pleases? If so, please enlighten me on this.

            Unsurprisingly the political organization whose power comes from private funding is the one backing right wing fascist bullshit. You’re not going to find a left wing organization with the same resources because it won’t have corporate political backing.

            Anarchists and other leftists (leftists, not liberals) are typically pro-gun and for the reasons you mention

              one day, in a world full of female scientists who rule the world, it may become irrelevant, an anachronistic right that no one even really uses
