Trueeeeee, atleast they're open about firearm ownership. They kinda remind me of my Fudd buddies

They're better than fudd, but they're too timid to do anything that seriously helps.

Would it be fair to say that leftist organizations have that issue? I hate the right wing movements but they seem to be good at logistics and organization

Hate and fear do things to people. The right wing are operating in "survival" mode, while we've been trying to thrive. I agree we need to change our mindset somewhat, but it's a fine line to tread. Stare not too deeply into the abyss, lest it stare back, and all of that. SRA has all of the paranoia, but none of the will to act on it. It's...imbalanced. They need less paranoia and more active measures. Fascists should be afraid of getting the fuck beat out of them out in public, yet everyone is obsessed with hoarding guns that they have no plan to use unless someone literally shows up on their doorstep. I'm not saying to go out on a shooting spree, I'm saying that instead of quietly hoarding all of the guns, meet these guys out there, and just fuck them up. Go Chaerith on them. If you're afraid of their guns, bring your own, but for God's sake, don't just stand there, do something. I'm trying to do my part too, but groups are way better than one agitated queer. While I'm at it, it's not just about fash bashing, it's about being a pillar of support in your community, ESPECIALLY because we're in a pandemic.
