The main problem with a war is logistical. And I fucking love forklifts.

Forklifts are amazing

Hell yeah they are
This was my office for a couple years until it was retired (and scrapped). My boi 12. It's a crown narrow aisle reach. We max out going up a little over 9 meters or 30 feet
The crazy thing about these guys is how precisely they handle whilst being 5 tons or 4.5 tonnes
One of the best aspects of getting to train people on how to drive our machines is I get to watch them in action and it's mesmerizing. The forklifts I mean; there's so many parts moving together and it has to be with precision and grace or things can go south pretty quickly
I could go on for days. Why do you think forklifts are amazing?

If you don't like guns, that's understandable. Everyone has something to offer, even if it's just a little food and a place to crash.

I takes all kinds to fight, some on the front lines with signs or weapons or lawyers, but many more are needed to support their efforts.

Sucks lethality is the only thing that matters in a force for violence.

This is the real reason why Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organization. They caused millions in damages to Elbit systems and other infrastructure that supports the genocide, effectively shutting down several weapons facilities and forcing Barclays Bank to divest from Elbit. They were extremely effective, and the UK government couldn’t handle that heat.

Yep. Unfortunately, it’s often a lot easier for people to explode than entire warehouses/datacenters. I mean, some guy burned down an entire Amazon (?) warehouse and they aren’t in that much distress

Wow, way to devalue human life. Jerk.

Military sure doesn't think so, kill, and your enemy loses one soldier, wound, and they lose at least two, if not more, as they have to provide medical care, transport, rehabilitate etc., much more expensive and often more demoralizing.

I'm sorry, clearly you haven't listened to the US secretary of defense. Do you think you know more about war than the current us secretary of defense?

Since I served longer than he did, and achieved an officers commission, yes.

I can say with absolute certainty, you are currently a better gun owner than most (given you already have a good mental understanding of good gun ownership). I have come across almost equal parts stable and unstable people who own guns. And I have found that only the stable people tend to secure them.

Ah yes, because you have to choose one or the other.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules
If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
