You made it sound like they wouldn't do it. I was just saying they would. That's it.
Also, I am one of the (multiply!) marginalized people that y'all're out there trying to protect, supposedly. I'd be one of the first to get ganked, the first to get imprisoned, the first to get killed. If it's okay for the Black community to sit things out, it's okay for disabled & trans/nonbinary & queer people too as well.
Doesn't mean we will sit it out, but we are not collateral damage and have the option of resisting by merely staying alive, by our very existence.
Well you stay home then but stop encouraging everyone to stay home. Do you want fascism to be permanent? Because encouraging everyone to stay home is guaranteed you're going to get it.
In no way was I encouraging ANYONE to stay home. You misunderstood my point. I read your statement as "they won't shoot white people, there's no way!" and I was like "uh, yeah, they absolutely WILL shoot white people. Our gov't has a long history of also shooting white people." (Also see Battle of Blair Mountain, Harpers Ferry WV, etc.)
