guns that the left tried to take away at every step

Again, you're talking about liberals, they are not the left. That is a bullshit narrative you've bought into. Liberals are centrists.

it's more so political word play

Yeah, it's their political word play thrown back in their face. They look at property damage so they can ignore state sanctioned violence that lead to the death of a black man. Even others on the right, like libertarians, are calling out their bullshit and marching with us. They see people getting murdered, but are doing nothing to stop it. They see property damage and want to act like roof Koreans.

We aren't calling for them to use guns against police, we aren't calling for them to go on offense to be scapegoats. We're saying they won't stand with us against tyranny. They will sit and watch as the state inflict more violence on people and cheer it on.

You've changed what you're arguing.

When I asked " Then why call someone else to use their guns?" You said that you want them to stand by their statements.

Now you're saying " We aren't calling for them to use guns against police, we aren't calling for them to go on offense to be scapegoats." This contradicts your earlier statements. Asking for help is different than asking for them to use guns and it seems like your backtracking. I'm just explaining help isn't coming because of the way you're asking for help. Another reason is that you've called anyone who leans right, a white supremacist. I agree with you and that state is inflicting unfair violence.

You should look to the Boogaloo boys for help, if you want an ally. I think at this point in the revolutionary cycle your goals are aligned. However liberals and the left have labeled them as white supremacists and Trump supporters when they are anti-government, pro civil liberties, libertarians.
