    You can believe in the right to revolution without believing that it is at all times right to start a revolution.https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1288123198932807684 …

    I'm not quite sure how conservative opposition to civilian violence against federal police officers squares with their "insurrectionist" theory of the Second Amendment, which holds that civilians must bear arms so they can assassinate tyrannical officials. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/08/trumps-assassination-joke-is-the-logical-endpoint-for-the-gop.html …

        This is no more inconsistent than it is inconsistent to take the side of George Washington against the British without taking the side of Jefferson Davis against Lincoln.

        In the end, it boils down to your conscience. As most things do.

        So who decides when it is the right time to start a revolution?

        It is always the challenge of revolutionaries to make the case on the merits that tyranny demands revolution. They were justified in 1775-76. They were not in 1861. They are not in 2020. History is long: the day may come, some day, when we need revolution again. Not today.

        Ah yes, let us never forget the tyranny of the mask. It's right up there with that Boston Tea thingy. Get your guns ready, let's storm the capital. 🙃

        But 2a people don’t talk about revolution in the general sense. They specifically talk about protecting themselves from a tyrannical government, like say armed and armored covert federal troops arresting citizens without probable cause and interrogating without Miranda rights.

        So Americans watched a man being murdered in public, protested for a month, were violently oppressed by police, given zero reform, only for the president to illegally deploy unmarked immigration officers to non-border cities, some being contracted. What else needs to happen?

        Well, there's an election coming up and the people are free to vote for the Green or Peace and Freedom candidate of their choice if they want to shift their community towards that direction.
