American Militia Members. Where the hell are you? THIS is what you exist for and you are doing NOTHING!
Edit: I’ve only heard “defense against tyranny” as justification for these militias by these militia
Successful millitant Leftist organizers like the Black Panther Party are stamped out by the State, leaving only far-right millitias in any real number.
They’re all white supremacists, man. This isn’t a tyranny to them, it’s exactly what they want, they want anyone who isn’t white ‘self deporting’ in the face of cruel mistreatment, and the military and the rest of the government is deleting any mention of any historical person that isn’t a white cis het male. They have never been happier.
This exactly.
They don’t see imposing a state of fundamentalist Christian supremacy as tyranny, because their ideology is one of Christian Nationalism (which in the US is inherently white nationalism).
They see the erosion of their relevance as the tyranny they’re supposed to stand up to despite it mostly being driven by cultural changes instead of government mandates. This means that the militias are meant to commit violence against civilians; they know the cops will side with them in a scrum. They’re more afraid of a lesbian with blue hair than a rogue sherrif depriving them of rights.
Waiting for their orders to start killing brown folks.
While it is true that the majority of what people conceive of as American “militias” are reactionary, leftist community defense groups do exist. They have no where near the organizing capacity to march on DC but they can be seen protecting their local communities often under the umbrella label Antifa. Given the material conditions of the US, most of the focus is on providing marginalized groups with the skills and resources to protect themselves.
Thanks for the links
Enforcing government tyranny.
it’s not government tyranny unless a democrat is president. duh,
They also didn’t do anything when the democrats were presidents.
And they were at least fascist lite.
Now look at them crying bcs they lost their precious uniparty democracy once it started bullying them and not just the rest of the world for once.
Nothing got gun control passed faster than the Black Panthers buying guns.
94% of Militia members in the US are foaming at the mouth reactionaries if not open fascists, with many being active or former law enforcement or related to military or intelligence.
There was supposed to be a well regulated militia.
The militia we have are gravy seals and Y’all Qaeda who want to dismantle regulation and rights.
Most of the “militias” support this tyranny. They’re celebrating
Majority of militia folks are fascists
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. For the most part, it’s fascists who form these militias, and quite a few of them are cops and military from 9–5. These people are not against “tyranny,” they’re for their own fascist brand of tyranny.
You mean the National Guard? They’re just another branch of of the military now.
If you mean the white nationalist militias, they’re pretty content with what going on. I think they’re getting ready to bring lynching back.
If you are talking about leftwing militias, I got some bad news…
I meant any of the groups that justify themselves as being a check against tyranny
Government tyranny? Militias are (in the parlance of our times) here for it.
They’ll fight against Border Patrol, and even plot to kill them sometimes, but only when they think they aren’t doing enough.

Have been for a while. Probably for ever. True of probably any country.
If the anti fascists of the US actually started arming themselves en masse, I think it would be a net positive effect.
Either you have more armed anti fascists able to fight back, or the fascists panic and begin banning guns, causing the fools who follow them to actually think twice about their beliefs.
Nothing gets far right followers more riled up than someone threatening to take their firearms.
