The FBI Counterterrorism Unit tried to warn us about this back in 2006.

Why don't we have over 100 far left militias fucking coordinate?

- Largely because the left is less interested in hating and killing everyone around them over irrelevant differences. There are many armed leftists, they just don’t cosplay government overthrow or post apocalyptic warlord on a regular basis.
  
  Also, have you ever tried to organize anarchists?

  Have you gone to your local shooting range? I guarantee you it's populated by all right wing gun people. If there ever will be a social disruption and it's one side pitted against another, the blue team will not only be out gunned by overwhelming numbers of red team gun nuts but even the most morbidly obese right wing pieces of shit practice their marksmanship.

- Maybe we do; they're just not on Facebook.

- We're not really "joiners". :)

  Don't expect the cops to help you when those militias come by your neighborhood during the Orange Man dictatorship that i hope never happens.

- Most liberals are educated enough to know that they can’t ply the US government with violence.

  Yep, only uneducated Vietnamese farmers and Taliban are allowed to win with violence against a massive high tech military with unlimited money.

I wish we could hold meta accountable for this shit. Only if the Right were to deliberately target would they ever bother to lift a finger. Fucking assholes.

- Pfft, Meta is actively trying to polish their shoes to not piss off the Right, to the point that they hired a right wing guy to advice them on how to handle themselves so that they don't break any eggsshells among the snowflake Republicans. They go so out of their way that the Zuck has lunch meetings with right wingers just to appease them, and has publicity admitted to giving them preference when moderating content.
  
  Fuck Meta and fuck the Zuck & Sanders.

That is a lot of them out there.

Well I'm sure this won't result in anything bad happening...

If there are over a hundred, that means they’re disorganized and will be easier for the military to deal with it comes to that.

Only 100?

- 100 on Facebook, probably way more on Twitter, Reddit, telegram, etc
