If you're protesting, are you going to adopt signs/images from the other similar protests you see every time you turn on a screen, or are you going to waste the time coming up with all new ones?

I've posted it before, but it's way easier to claim a grand conspiracy rather than addressing legit problems with the police (or your movement, or your president). It's really concerning to me that the gun community, and to an extent the far right of the republican party, has now spent the last four years creating conspiracy theories to excuse or distract from real issues, or instead of acknowledging fuckups just resorting to nonsense about "owning the libs". It's not as bad as other places here (I can understand most of the theories here even if I think they're bullshit, but trying to read the AR15.com general discussion is like reading a twitter feed from an alternate universe) but it's heading that way and a big part of why I've put the gun hobby (especially the social aspect) waaaaay on the back burner
