They were talking about being tired and getting away from it all, what you're describing sounds like the least relaxing activity possible

You cannot escape bigotry. They spend their free time hating you, it's their fucking hobby and brings them joy. They will eventually find you because they enjoy seeing left-leaning or LGBTQIA people suffering.

You either die soft, slow, dumb, and ignorant to how far they are willing to go to see you gone, or organize and fight it back.

We didn't fight religious fascists and Nazis in WW2 with fucking protests and angry finger waggles and holding up signs.

Security in armed numbers, security means safety, you can sleep easy if someone else is pulling watch.

I don’t often quote Marx, but this one is highly pertinent:

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

Which in my opinion, speaks to the true intent of the Second Amendment, regardless of whatever the Tribunal of Six is trying to mutate it into these days.

The thing is, unless they are willing to uproot their life and leave the country for somewhere more tolerant, there is no “getting away from it all”.

These fascist fuck stains have been hugely emboldened by the last 8 years. If Trump ends up winning in November, they can and will start forming posses to target anyone who doesn’t conform to the heteronormative ideal. In that context, being able to defend oneself — and being part of a group that is very much on the same page as you about defending theirselves — actually makes it far more comforting than you may realize.

I was going to link to Tenacious Unicorn Ranch in Colorado as a case study, but apparently they were all evicted over a year ago, despite having a positive rapport with and significant support from the surrounding community. That’s really disheartening to hear. Not sure if there’s any sort of similar communities elsewhere of a similar nature (either as successor organizations or simply philosophically similar ones), but a handful of cursory searches didn’t turn up anything.
