@stairjoke @tb the US is a paradox because many of the people that most urgently need to prepare to defend themselves and their communities from racists and neo-nazis are the ones who want gun control most. Its well known that the vast majority of mass shootings are caused by the right.
Meanwhile Cherán, Mexico, is now one of the safest areas in the country. 13 years ago it was one of the most dangerous thanks to Narco and military violence. What happened 13 years ago? The people armed themselves and kicked out the police, politicians and narcos from their community. Their quality of life has also gone up considerably, not just because of the lack of violence but its amazing the services and infrastructure that can be funded when the government isn't stealing the majority of the peoples resources.
What the people of Cheran did can be accomplished by any community in the world given enough will and organization.
