Yeah the snap benefits thing is kinda the last straw. I've been seeing people "stepping up" and encouraging each other to donate to food banks and supposedly the national guard is preparing to set up foodlines in the absence of food stamps. The narrative seems to be that this is heart-warming and inspiring, but I see it as either enabling a non-functional government to continue it's bad behavior, or at the very least it's the beginning of people figuring out they can provide for themselves better than the government can. Either way, it's over, boys. I'm legitimately in the market for my first gun. The senate in my state was supposed to approve a budget three months ago and haven't yet, so a bunch of our state programs aren't working either, and on top of that we've lost food stamps. There is no illusion anymore that this government is legitimate. I know ladios was all worried about getting deported but they quite literally cannot deport us all. This country is toast. I'm 100% serious.
I'm not even saying we should overthrow the government. I'm saying it's happening now whether we want it or not. Look at history, it's the same story every time. You forget with the food, and people snap. The ruling class in this country decided to loving eat us and we can either group up, pool our resources and make our own damn community since they won't let us have one, or we can die. The choice is being thrust upon us now. Apparently horseshoe theory is real because I never thought I would go so far extreme left that I'd become a second amendment freak, but here we are. This is the exact kind of stuff washington and all those gay boys were thinking about when they said everyone needs to have a gun.
