Meh...not really...most of us are stuck in the rat race or dying in state buildings. Don't have time to fight gotta pay bills.

Maybe the future brings Madmax style roving gangs, but you're still expected to be at the office by 8.30.

It'll suddenly be remote everything again, and encouraged to not disrupt business. It'll be like the Covid scion days.

Americans will kill anyone and anything before the 40hr work week

Where do people get the money to stock up on guns? They are friggin expensive.

[–] Leeks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can get a shotgun for less then $100.

My favorite for fucking around in the woods cost $125. I have several shotguns around that price range.

There are a plethora of affordable options that are cheaper than a console or a nintendo switch nowadays.

Hi-points aren't fancy, but they're reliable and cheap, you can pick up a 9mm pistol for around $200 or less.

Farther up you've got PSA, where you could pick up a Dagger (glock clone) for $300 and an AR-15 for $399.

Again where are people getting that sort of money?

What are you not American? They do not give you a rifle and a crate of ammo for your 18th birthday?

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Idk when i turned 18 i filed for my social security gun and they gave me an M4 with my Social Security # engraved on it.

Sounds like he lost his lol

Not really... You can get a cheap pistol or a shotgun for $200-$300, solid reliable handguns start at ~$450 and you can get a military grade rifle for $800

It's not nothing, but it's the same price range as most phones - if you want the fancy one with brand recognition you'll pay twice as much, but you can get quality pretty cheap if you do your research

Steal them from MAGA Traitors. They don't know how to shoot, just take them away from them.

Although purported interest has never been higher, all the soft white libs I know are still deep in their full-of-shit phase and not doing a single fucking thing to prepare. It's only the far leftists and people in the center that are on the uptake thus far from my vantage point.

I wish the NY Times found a different group to highlight. These guys seem like they found an opportunity to make a buck. Surely there are other groups that are more organized and not trying to sell trinkets.

[–] VagueAnodyneComments@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

sure are some fucking gross conversations going on in here

all op posts is Billionaire rag propaganda

have you considered that maybe posting this propaganda sucks?

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's the point you're trying to make?

all you seem to post is what rich people want to say, and it brings down the vibe
