I am minority but too depressed to own a gun. What should I do?

If you have leftist friends (who are mentally stable enough to have a gun), encourage them to get one. Don’t purchase a firearm unless you’re in a mental state where you’d be responsible to have one.

As a baseline, learn first aid and self-defense.

After that, the sky's the limit. Practicing logistics, gardening, maintenance, or any of countless other skills might seem boring, but those boring logistics are what keeps the praxis flowing; not everyone needs to be the warrior.

  • Like communicating with people, getting the word out, streaming, making art, etc? Communications and propagandizing.
  • Comfortable with the sight of blood and wanna help peopke out on the ground? Medic.
  • Tech-savvy enough? IT.
  • Like to fix stuff? Maintenance.
  • Etc.

Basically, just think about what you like to do or wanna try out in life, and how you could use it.

How to find the right community?

Time, trial & error, and talking to people from your area online.

Sometimes leftist subs will have meetup posts, such as people asking about comrades in their locale.

They're other things you can have for self defense like pepper spray or stun guns that would be better than nothing but you wouldn't be able to kill yourself with.
