> my hobbies tend to be populated mainly by the conservative demographic

What are conservative (and liberal) hobbies?

Conservative hobbies are like hunting, fishing, NASCAR, watching football, going to church, a lot of that is regional. A conservative in Saudi Arabia is going to have different hobbies compared to one in Utah.

My assumption would be hunting perhaps? Since that involves gun ownership, and gun ownership/rights typically being associated with "conservatives".

Which is stupid. It's everyone's right. One side just understands the importance of it, the other tries their hardest to throw it in the trash.

Yours is a naiive position positioning itself as enlightened

Firearms are worthless without organization and there is no actual revolutionary force in America even at the seed stage that is approximating anything near even Taliban levels of insurgent capabilities.

Your 2A “movement” has neither the coherent holistic political philosophy nor the competent leadership needed to actually create a viable social structure

So no, you’re cosplaying as a hollow copy of the Taliban with none of the threat, risk or even dedication to a real cause.

It is so weird how you guys belittle those that appreciate 2A as though it's not useful until we have "Taliban-levels of capability and organization" but if we did, you'd immediately cry "insurgency! This is too dangerous for our democracy!"

There's no winning with you people. That's why the 2A movement is progressing finally. You're impossible to please.

Difference is, I’ve actually been to war as an active combatant

Also you assume too much about what I would and would not agree with

I’m all for Revolution, but yours is incoherent and disorganized
