A gun is so effective because it packs a lot of kinetic energy into a small space; correspondingly, the Russian military in Ukraine and the US in Iran have failed to annihilate their target countries like their hype assured us they could. So the big question is who gets the nukes out first?

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I think one of the most important lessons that the Greatest Dipshit Of Them All has given us is that the major militaries like Russia, and even like the US, are not nearly as strong as they appear (though axiomatically never as weak as they appear either). No gun has unlimited ammo.

I partially--partially--tore my MCL doing martial arts way back when. I couldn't bear any weight on it, which meant my grading for brown belt was over, just before the easy part started. I had it in the bag otherwise :( In order to keep up in a UFC fight, CM must have been on so many PEDs.

Moscow's second greatest asset says his hospitalization was the result of a fall. So....what caused the fall? We know it wasn't Russia, because that traitorous walking embodiment of a sneeze that comes out both ends is still alive. What caused the fall? And how can we do some process improvement?

But men don't plan celebrations, that's women's work. Men also don't celebrate wherever they can avoid doing so, with an exception for sports teams., with regards to men's mental health month as an example, if we're not celebrating it right, show us how it's done. Or shut the hell up.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Whenever men bitch about how a celebration they don't like, should instead be something else, and occurren ce as reliable as the rising of the sun, men conveniently forget that the group that is the identified in the celebration is usually responsible for planning it, until it's established.

Getting people to believe their lies is satisfying and produces a sense of smug sardonic accomplishment; the closest their broken brains can get to producing any good neurotransmitters, but ultimately, the real victory is when they no longer have to lie. Outlandish boasts become unbelievable reality

That is, before they make it illegal. People like Shitler never get their rocks off so well as when they tell someone exactly what they're going to do, even though it's blatantly harmful to that person, and not only having it happen, but watching the harmed person cheer for it.

They are a clear and present danger to everything around them; all of society is at risk. Their success relies entirely upon breaking the social contract, and whatever laws are in their way, until they are writing the laws themselves. There's only one solution to that: remove them from power ASAP.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

The only way to deal with people like that, ie, those insane narcissists who ALSO have so much affluence and power that they can materialize the harms they fantasize about subjecting the rest of us to (because they're not winning if you're not losing) is to treat them like they're rabid dogs.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

They will manipulate you into giving them something for nothing, and then they will promise to give you some of that something if you give them a little bit more; but they will never, ever give you any more than absolutely necessary to rob you again, until you have nothing left to steal.

Let me be clear: there are ZERO legal ways to guarantee a runaway success in life; that is because runaway success by its very nature harms everyone else. There are no ethical pathways into plutocracy because plutocracy is inherently unethical, not to mention evil. Con-artist know this.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Because he believes himself to be a god, not only can he do no wrong, but everything he does is by definition right. Anything that contradicts him is, on its face, wrong, no matter what it is. But he's a con-artist. He sells just another version of a "success guaranteed" snake oil.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

What this means is that you'll see him setting himself up as ruler, but ruler isn't enough, so he makes himself king, and then Emperor, and then, if he can swing it, God. The guy literally had gladiatorial combat hosted at his palace. You just KNOW he wished he could have made it to the death.

Time to shout pointlessly into the void: Trump is a con-artist, yes, but he's also a sociopathic malignant narcissist. He is David Koresh with billions of dollars. And like everyone else like him through history, he seems himself as a god, and has the power to make that some version of reality.

I can only hope that, much like he has so staunchly advocated for, the death penalty is applied by whatever rises from the ashes of the system of checks and balances, not only to him, but to everyone of the architects of this disaster.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Shitler should be beginning to realize that world politics is structurally impossible for any one person to manage effectively. Forcing people to do stuff they don't want to can only get you so far; for everything else there needs to be buy in. And Trump is probably the worst salesman in the world.

China publically executes its Epstein files main characters. Imagine what a flex it would have been if Xi took Trump to watch one of their pdf file executions? I would have woken up at any time of the night to be able to watch Shitler witness that.

Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, the bill comes due. I sincerly, unironically hope they wake up before the bill becomes payable in only one currency. They're certainly flirting with the line.

I'm actually going to report my own posts to the bluesky admins. If this is against the EULA, ie, an academic examination of when it's legal to act illegally, then that's everything you need to know about your right to actually resist tyranny. The only way it will ever be "legal" is retroactively.

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

At which point...in the face of a government that can and does justify killing you for the act of merely bearing those arms...what's the point of 2a at all? Either we are free to shoot back at some point, or we're all structurally required to be killed by the first govt who dares to be oppressive.

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

If this conversation is against the EULA of the laws that govern *individual citizens* and just the jurisprudential infrastructure such as lawyers and judges...then 2a fundamentally doesn't exist. The right to bear arms is necessarily limited to the right to bear, but never *use*, arms.

210

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I would argue that trying to understand those ethical and legally justifiable circumstances is *exactly what we should be doing* when it comes to situations where 2a might conceivably be put into action. Ie, you cannot and should not use 2a without having this conversation.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Before these posts are banned, deleted, and reported to some terror watchlist, please remember that*it's not ME implicitly advocating violence against the government*, it's the people who literally *wrote* the US Constitution. I am merely trying to understand when it's ethical to employ that right.

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

....against the need to ensure that the general population was, by a baked in fundamental right, to EVENTUALLY use legal force against their own government. Maybe they meant that only 3 out of 5 sufficiently oppressed people could start shooting back before everyone else feels it necessary?

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

So we are once again confronted with the blind spots of the legal framework for the citizenry to employ violence against tyranny. The framers had to weigh the likelihood of people using violence because of an insufficiently generalized threat they disproportionately and unacceptably targets them...

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

This non-uniformity of threat is what produced the complicity of the general population *as well as the Jews* during the Holocaust. At some level, people thought it sufficiently acceptable that Jews should die before they finally agreed to resist. By which point, of course, it was far, far too late

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Also remember: NOT EVERYONE IS OPPOSED EQUALLY, NOT DOES OPPRESSION CARRY A UNIFORM THREAT TO EVERYONE. Should certain populations have to WAIT until everyone agrees to resist? What if that population begins to be exterminated before the majority agrees violent resistance is justified?

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

People out there trying to suggest that 2A is for people to like, show fascists their guns with the expectation that the fascists will immediately and magically disband. The right, the legally defensible RIGHT, is to bear, and where a reasonable person thinks it's necessary, to USE arms vs tyranny.

Try sleeping once the threat is gone and people who also cared about the missing and the dead remember how you didn't say a word when the night cleaning crews came to your neighbours houses one by one. Just try sleeping. Unless maybe you think that...saying something with strong gestures is better

No literally, try sleeping at night when you've lived through a period where friends who you thought were safe, untouchable, were taken from their homes in the night with much noise that no one can recall hearing. You're on the list, and you know it. You used your friends lives as ante. Good job!

The "lose" conditions might come sooner than they would have otherwise, but come they must. Fascism not resisted is fascism rampant and all-consuming. Each time they fail to be forcibly stopped, they take over that space. Fighting Nazis may be a losing prospect, but it's not the wrong one.

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

The fascists (on the streets and in the halls) aren't in a fight with us. They're setting the stage for us. They are deliberately creating no-win situations, as all good strategy attempts to do. If there are no win conditions, there are no lose conditions either, not that represent poorer outcomes

100

Glowingpains @zoetrans247.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

This is standard counter-protest rhetoric, and, as always, the presence of unambiguous, undeniable fascists invalidates it. You cannot win a war if you're unable to change your tactics when it's needed. Staying on message is great, but when the game has changed to violence, words no longer matter.

One thing "law and order" types who buy tanks for their local police force don't mention, is that it is an inevitability--an INEVITABILITY--that those resources will be used against the citizenry they are ostensibly meant to protect.

I've been thinking about how we as humans are so often incapable of applying to ourselves the grace and comfort that we expertly offer to others. It's frustrating as hell, but maybe it's an opportunity? It forces us to rely on community and relationships, which is good because no one can solo this.

This is a flagrant and I can only assume intentional misrepresentation of what the charter. The notwithstanding clause allows a law to stand notwithstanding the fact that it contravenes the charter. It does not say that the law is constitutional. Only that it can't be challenged constitutionally.
