The barrel of a gun.

(For the benefit of the libs, I'm quoting Mao. "Political power grows from the barrel of a gun.")

This is what I'm talking about. I said the BARREL of a gun, and you present a picture of one, because you care only about surface-deep aesthetics. Ceci n'est pas une resistance.

Wow! You got me, I didn't send a Real Gun through the internet. Too bad Newsom is only tweeting. Maybe writing a book of Quotations from Governor Gavin Newsom or something.

Do you not understand rhetoric or metaphor? A retort would be an example Gavin using the state monopoly on violence to threaten or oppose ICE and Trump's other goons Like Pritzker's doing That would be the "barrel of a gun" as in the police ARRESTING people VIOLENCE stops fascism. Not memes.

Ludicrous to post those two skeets back to back. Anyway, I hear your boy Mao really really hated propaganda and popularising his ideas with catchy images

You're really triggered by that quote, huh? Here, let me explain: Gavin Newsom's shittalking and memes have no ACTION to back them up. It's smoke and mirrors to LOOK like resistance to people like you, but does NOTHING to oppose Trump.

That's so true. He's literally doing nothing.

Okay, fair. He's throwing away homeless peoples' things and doing podcasts with transphobes and Nazis. You got me!
