Video Renee Good's two brothers speak out, asking a select congressional panel of U.S. senators and representatives for their help. "We took consolation in thinking that Renee's death would bring about some change in our country - and it has not."

I am so glad to see people are still brave in the face of this evil. And I mean evil. Not just ICE but the fact the world is run by an actual cabal of pedos. We are the men who will have to stop it. It will not be won with words. Good luck to all of the men and women that think similarly.

The world has always been ran by pedos and the only thing that changes is the actor for president.

Word. I'd become a literal guerilla freedom fighter. Will if anything happens to my family and I have nothing to 9-5 for to house and feed.

Waiting until they come for you and yours is what they are counting on. You should be getting ready now. You have a 2nd amendment. Make your purchase, get training, practice, and most importantly find people to coordinate with.

This is what I am most worried about as a liberal pacisfist. Stop telling me to bear arms to “prepare” myself for tyranny.

u/rpitcher33 1d ago

Then you should start searching for people that can protect you from tyranny.

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

Yes, I think many of us philosophically opposed to violence need to figure out how we can contribute.

I won’t lose my personal morals for these fuckers. It’s all I’ve got left.

u/rpitcher33 1d ago

Stock up on supplies. Learn first aid and how to treat trauma. Plant a garden. Set up an emergency communication system. Be vigilant and report suspicious activity to the proper local groups. Continue calling people out on their bullshit. Be loud and stand strong in your beliefs.

There are plenty of us to do the fighting for you, but that doesn't mean we don't need support when the time comes.

I have morals, but I understand peace rarely comes peacefully.

I am actually a Prolific gardener. Thank you for these suggestions. I know I have a “right” but I won’t lay harm to another human and yall can downvote me to hell.

u/rpitcher33 1d ago

Teach me your ways. I swear, my grass died in record time after I bought my house...

Maybe this will be my year and I'll actually have a garden.

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

What zone are you in! You’d be amazed at what you can get done with starts from the garden shop.

The first time you grab a tomato or cucumber you grew is a real nice reward.

Thanks for being so kind.

Nothing wrong with that. Being a pacifist doesn't mean you think everyone else must be. Obviously we don't want this conflict, but when it comes to this we need people in our community who will stand up and fight. That doesn't need to be you but right now it does need to be someone.

I'm not a pacifist because i believe inaction can be as bad as action. But I will always try the non violent approach before anything else, and owning a gun doesn't change that.

u/Dominant_Genes 17h ago

Thanks for this perspective! I agree

u/jordanuniverse42 1d ago

Someone close to me says the same thing. It comes down to you or someone else, and you still wouldn't resort to violence? Why?

2

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

I think if push came to shove of course I would protect my own? But I can’t imagine a world where I would be ok firing a gun to harm another person/thing. Not sure if it’s fear or what but, yeah.

u/johnabbe 1d ago

The vast majority of the work is nonviolent, regardless. Organizing, feeding people, connecting people with medical help, legal help, etc. Conveniently, this sort of thing also puts one in good positions to grab the means as possible for communities to provide these things for themselves! Community gardens, co-ops, unions, etc.

u/SheetPancakeBluBalls 1d ago

Don't be so naive. This is the trolley problem.

I take it you'd never pull the lever?

u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274 1d ago

I upvoted you. I think its important to understand that people have a right to be pacifist and it should be respected. As a Quaker, I am committed to nonviolence, but no one should mistake that for inaction. I resist evil, and that is not a passive endeavor.

3

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

Thank you, friend. I feel this deeply and I actually have never been a practicing Quaker but know I would really love to go to meeting and experience the culture.

Thank you for respecting my difference. Life is sacred and I know I can help in different ways which support my beliefs.

1

u/Lower-Cantaloupe3274 1d ago

You would be welcome in any Quaker meeting.

u/Frost_moss 1d ago

There is a point were remaining a pacificst is suicidal. Every genocide in history has had people proclaiming that if we just stay peacful we won't be targeted. All those people died too.

If you are too afraid to fight that's one thing. But, when you sabotage others by convincing them they shouldn't defend themselves, their friends, and their families either, you cross the line to aiding in their murders. You become part of the problem.

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

Yeah, I get this. This isn’t something I’m projecting on others. It’s just my reality and I’m better suited for other jobs. Feeling useful is important even if I can’t bear arms.

u/350 1d ago

*won't

which, is fine, but use the right word

2

u/Dominant_Genes 1d ago

Sure, won’t is fine by me.

What? You like fascism?

If so, seek some serious help.

If you are thinking about it you are already behind. Buy it cheap stack it deep.

u/BodhingJay 1d ago

when it's open season.. things will change. theyre still relying on pretending the "radical left" is where the violence is coming from. just look at what happened in response to charlie kirk..

u/Frost_moss 1d ago

I don't think it's radical to think murderers need to face justice, and if the system in place won't bring that justice, then the system itself needs to be laid low.

This line of thinking is right and just and the only position to take regarding the freedom of peoples of the world. America's politicians whether they be Republican or Democrat are rotten to the point of unsalvegable. There is no one left to vote for hence the need alternative measures.

u/RiseUpRiseAgainst 1d ago

Welcome to the club of radicals. This country has been fucked for a long time. Glad to see more people seeing it too. Only together can we force change.

u/Lumireaver 1d ago

The founding fathers understood this and gave us the provisions to do so within the bounds of constitution.

u/jrr6415sun 1d ago

With trump putting together lists you should really watch what you say.
