The reckoning is coming

This evil came across my Twitter feed yesterday.
The past week has seen people like this scum come out of their dark holes as a revolution sweeps the country, a revolution which will sweep aside the likes of him.

Don't doubt this: A reckoning is coming.

Me, liberal socialist fuckstick that I am, have finally been convinced by my wife to get a gun. I'll probably never have to use it, but if lone wolves want to attack my mostly Latinx and Black neighborhood in Inglewood, I'm not going to just be a sacrificial lamb. I will protect myself and my family. And if I go down, I will make sure to take more than a few of them with me.

Again, I don't foresee a general right wing uprising. They're mostly cowards, bemoaning a country which is no longer theirs exclusively, bemoaning the loss of power and privilege they thought was their due.

But look at that video again. This is a rage which, in many instances, will express itself even more violently.

The rage this vermin expresses physically against a child—a white child, no less—is an indication of the powder-keg on which we sit. There will be explosions. To think otherwise is to whistle into the wind. There will be more Oklahoma Citys. There will be more Charlestons. There will be more than enough people like this rat who will want to burn everything down rather than share power. And as reality-based people, we have to be prepared for that.

Make no mistake, though: If I am looking into self-defense, be sure that many more people like me are doing so as well. We will not be peaceful and sacrifice ourselves. We will protect ourselves and those we love. We will protect our neighbors. The greatest lie the Reich Wing tells itself is that liberals are soft and timid. Hitler thought much the same of Americans in general; they were lost in decadence and frivolity, and would never fight to protect themselves and the world. I am fucking far from timid. I have put my body in danger confronting the deranged at the library. I've been assaulted at the library, and fought back. If I, a supposedly "meek" librarian, have these reserves of strength in me, you can bet that I'm not alone. Some things are just worth fighting for. And I don't plan on dying.

This rubbish, these dregs of society who think they should be its masters, are going to learn to their terminal fate that they won't roll over us unopposed. That they will be fought tooth and nail. That they will be beaten down until they're bloody and broken.

I'm done. I'm in a white hot rage, and I don't fear them. They will learn what a free people, fighting for loved ones and neighbors, will do to them. This scum's fate is sealed. He will be found and he will be punished. And the same will happen to all who follow after him. We've had enough. Playtime is over.
