I should not have posted this thread. There is absolutely zero room on Twitter for a nuanced conversation or discussion. Everything just turns into a pissing match in the comments. I should’ve just said consider giving this book read and think about what it says — PolitiTweet.org

The good news is I’m not looking to run for political office so I don’t really need to care that much about what you think about what I say. Have a great day :) — PolitiTweet.org

@M_nty_ @Mattm4021 Is a state that enslaves people actually free? — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
Reality is this if you’re an imperial state expanding across a continent you’re going to need a way to maintain a monopoly on violence (Weber) beyond the breaches of the state. Arming your citizens who actively violate indigenous sovereignty gives you a convenient way to expand. — PolitiTweet.org

@Mattm4021 I actually am. I originally like you thought that the second amendment was justified off the British but after actually reading the primary sources many of which written by the founding fathers such as Jeffersons notes on the state of VA I changed my mind. Cite your source matt. — PolitiTweet.org

If confronted with new information I’m open to changing my mind. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not claiming to be an expert on this but I have spent three years now studying it. When people say why I am wrong I would appreciate it if you cite your sources. I cited one of mine above. The references of that book has a lot of material evidence. — PolitiTweet.org

Look before you angrily reply becausethus challanges your assumptions of what country do you live in & what history that you’ve based part of your identity around please consider reading the above book. This is one of the areas I have been studying for the past three years. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve attempted to challenge this belief at every turn but objectively speaking looking at the primary sources- it’s very hard to argue that a large part of the reason for the second amendment in addition to fighting off the British was not to conquer the Native Americans. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
@dawnresist Read this book. It can be true that the second amendment was used impart to fight off the British but it also was used to conquer the Native Americans and help reinforce the institution of slavery the two or not mutually exclusive read this book: https://t.co/ipZ2gJjCft — PolitiTweet.org

The Americans alive today are not necessarily the ones responsible for these atrocities- however we do have a responsibility to address the injustice and harm and figure out how our country can move forward. To creating a more perfect union for all an not just some. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
This isn’t to say that I hate our country or that I hate every day Americans I don’t. It is to say however that we have to reckon with our past in order to create a more perfect union. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
I would say it’s funny but it’s really not there’s so many people in the comments claiming this is revisionist history and they’re probably the same ones who see manifest destiny as a holy conquest of brave Americans doing gods work that absolutely hurt no one 🤡 — PolitiTweet.org

The Justification that guns were needed to fight off the British may be True but it also can be true that guns were an extremely effective tool to enable nonstate actors to do the work of Imperial conquest expanding beyond Appalachia and to stop slave rebellions. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
how would you describe a government where a tiny minority of people actually have power to control what the government does as it is protects the institution of slavery and violates the sovereignty of other states after signing treaties saying it wouldn't. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
Your argument that the Second Amendment was originally created to fight off a tyrannical government completely fails to acknowledge the fact that the United States government was tyannical when it was formed. — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
One of the main reasons for the Second Amendment wasn’t to fight off tyrannical government but actually to protect one that had enslaved millions of people and to assist in a mass genocide of indigenous people. — PolitiTweet.org

Day 5 In the past 72 hours over 150 Americans have been shot. We have spent decades debating this issue, we know what we disagree on. We owe it to those 150 and the 45,000 who die every year to get over our politics. Senate Republicans- #MeetWithMe that’s all I ask. https://t.co/oeogtSQQ9s — PolitiTweet.org

I’d be preferred if congress couldn’t be legally be bought but I’m not going to wait 40 years for the SCOTUS to maybe change Citizens United when we need to stop gun violence ASAP — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
@jake_needs You mean the exact thing the NRA is already legally doing? Yeah — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
What the NRA is doing through their donations is effectively buying off politicians. If that’s what it takes to get the votes we need I’m willing to do it. We need to end gun violence as soon as possible. If that means using the same tactics, so be it. — PolitiTweet.org

If anyone has a billion or two they want to give me to do this lmk. I’m already accused of being paid off might as well make it true — PolitiTweet.org
David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111
The only way we’re going to every get the needed politicians we need in DC on board with gun reform is an extremely strong combination of voting for gun reform and buying off the rest we can’t get. We basically need to copy the NRAs method. — PolitiTweet.org
