Hey, I’m not disagreeing that it’s a high-risk endeavor. Alex Pretti showed that even a camera is cause for fascist thugs to murder you in broad daylight these days. But nothing will change by passivity.
Nor am I condemning people for not doing this. I’m just stating, in agreement with the meme, that action does have effects, even without ever actually pulling a trigger.
I don’t believe you that you have or will do anything. I believe that you’re just trying to get chaos going in the US and get others to sacrifice themselves. I have no idea why, but I can guess that you’re one of two types of people.
People are going to die, man. That’s not going to change if people decide to be passive. That just means people are going to die slightly quieter, like in an ICE holding cell. Shit, if ICE ever posts a significant presence in my fucked little corner of America, I will have to legitimately fear for my fucking life being intentionally ended when attending protests, which is not something I ever thought I’d have to say as a non-Black person (a privilege in this still deeply racist country, I know) in the USA.
And will I continue attending anyway? Fuck, I can’t say for certain. I don’t have a spouse or kids that will be screwed if I’m gone. I have a few family and friends who will miss me, but ultimately, it’s my life (or it’s end) that’s most affected, so I certainly hope and would like to say that I’d still have the stones to keep going.
Of course, God knows my self-preservation instinct is worn to a nub at this point, but that’s a different conversation.
Send me a video of you doing this, I’ll cheer you on.

It certainly does, and Alex Pretti proves that they will execute you even after they took your gun.
I’m not even a pacifist, and do what you feel you need to do. Just don’t try and get others to do it,
show the internet your face identifying yourself and then and only then will i support you
