Everyone is more or less at risk of experiencing violence during their life. This is especially true for minorities, and as leftists in today’s political climate. The risk of violence will undoubtedly increase as political climates change, so we must be ready to defend ourselves, our comrades, our family and friends, and our communities.

I practise Krav Maga (I know) and have a limited background in wrestling, Karate, and Judo. It would be great to hear everyone’s thoughts on strategies and tactics for self-defence so we can help each other become more prepared to face violent situations.

If there’s enough interest in the topic I think it would be a good idea to start a community for self-defence.

          (A line that sounds like it could be right out of Das Kapital)

          “There’s no such thing as miracles or the supernatural, only cutting edge technology!”

              I always forgot that the Dead-Cell operatives were OnlyFans simps and call her that lmao

              But for a more heartfelt and close to home quote.

              “Find something to believe in and find it for yourself. And when you do, pass it on to the future”. Metal Gear really did have some good anti-capitalist plot lines and quotes. Especially with Metal Gear 3 quite literally being, “CIA sucks, US government evil and corrupt, and the Boss was right”.

                I take great pleasure in reminding rightoids who fawn over mgs that kojima is blatantly left leaning and all of the plots in some way condemn US foreign policy and/or imperialism.

                  Also all the communist characters are objectively much cooler and deeper then most others in the series.

                  Boss? Based. 150 year old sniper that 360 noscopes Nazis? Based. GRU soldier Ocelot? Hot as hell. The Fury? Awesome. The Sorrow? So anti-capitalist he came back from the dead to help Snake.

                    The fact that Hot Coldman is objectively the worst character in the franchise as well lmao. Take the L CIA man.

                    I love Big Boss gushing over El Che in peace walker.
