What would these militias be fighting for, and why do you think they'd have any shot against the largest and most funded military in the world?

People have hated each other for years, America and UK are far more peaceful overall than in the 90s. America has always had nutjob militias, what are they going to do against America? I'll tell you what, it's fiction but watch Fargo Season 5 and that's about how well an American militia fucking with the US Government would go, Imo.

Riots aren't new either and as far as I've seen, governments have always condemned and stamped out riots when they've caused damaged, no matter the cause. But the left in America ain't ever tried to overthrow their own government so I'm not about to say that they're the same, the cause of the George Floyd riots is vastly different than the cause of the Jan 6th insurrection, one was an attempt to overthrow government, another was frustration and anger at the lack accountability and brutal force that American cops often employ which get people killed.

It's not more likely under Trump than Harris, it wasn't long ago Harris was being criticised for being a "cop" and prosecuting people too harshly, Trump straight up egged on and encouraged his base to commit violence, multiple times, including the Jan 6th insurrection. If it weren't for him spreading conspiracy theory nonsense, there likely wouldn't have even been an attack on the capitol.

Harris I believe will stamp on riots on both sides equally because she seems like a no nonsense sort of person.

UK is nowhere close to (are you talking about The Troubles?). Nobody in the UK wants that, everyone old enough remembers how awful The Troubles was and the counter-protesters to promote peace to the recent batch of protests angry at immigrants was way bigger in many areas because people do not want violence and are sick and tired of this shit, we who want the country to avoid civil wars far outweigh those desperate for one.

Wouldn't even be the military, even American cops are kitted out to ridiculous extremes that they'd wipe out any poorly coordinated trash militia hiding in some American countryside. It always gives me a chuckle when I hear Americans say "I have guns in case my government turns tyrannical one day!" Good luck with that, I'm sure you'll be shooting that F-35 out of the sky with your little rifle.

Fact is, if America wanted to, they'd slaughter these militias with ease and they wouldn't even break a sweat.

Big difference between LLMs and AGIs. AGIs is bordering on Sci-Fi. I never really doubted LLMs.

We're nowhere near AGI still and we're investing tens of billions into it, how long are investors going to be okay with that?

AI tech is a threat, through things like Deepfake AI, I do believe AI will be used for good in some areas, I also believe it will be used for bad, I do not have any reason at this current stage to believe it's going to revolutionise and completely change the world though and that's the problem of companies selling it like that, once investors realise it's not going to change the world, they'll realise they've been fed a lie and stocks will plummet.

We've often had tech which was hyped to the moon and amounted to nothing or not as big as claimed.

AGI could happen, it equally may not happen either, no need to jump to doomsday scenarios for something we're so unsure on.

Done nothing about the black clad people killing cops in Portland and in other areas during the 2020 riots. Whata ya call them... antifash or something. I can't remember than name of them.

Also, people's memories seem short. It wasn't long ago the right were arming up during those riots and that young lad on the right ended up shooting a load of people. This is crossing the line isn't it, already. Might be isolated events, you had a group of people (as misguided and naive as they poor bastards were) stormed the capital.

What Portland riots were these? I'm not American so I'm assuming you're talking about the George Floyd protests in Portland. It only lists 1 casualty to 970 people arrested, I wouldn't call that "done nothing" but I found this "Killings of Aaron Danielson and Michael Reinoehl" where Michael killed Aaron but the cops then killed Michael and both these guys were white.

George Floyd Protests

19 Deaths and 14,000 Arrested...That's far from "done nothing" that's a massive amount of people arrested.

There were less deaths but more arrests in the George Floyd protests than in the Watts Riots in 1965

American cops were responsible for 5 of those deaths and one of those was a self-described "Anti-Fascist" so the American police had no issue putting a bullet in those guys either. It doesn't really matter what side you are on, governments don't tend to sit back and let you destroy shit and break the law, especially not American police who are trigger happy as fuck.

Perhaps it's a Barrenstien bears occurrence but I remember black clad individuals get out of a white van in some city around that time and execute a cop. The same black clad individuals who go under that, exactly as you said, Anti-fah. Those Anti-fah, got away with tearing down Portland every other week there for a while, they even set themselves up with a park they took over and called it their own in a little bit of role playing revolutionaries. Burned down police stations if I recall, took one over and nothing was done. I'm not expecting them to be waco'd like you said the American Government would do to Maltias yourself but there was no action at all, people in charge were tippy toeing aroubd them and giving into demands. 

I can't remember this, I feel like I'd remember some dudes rolling up in a white van and straight up executing a cop in broad daylight...Maybe it happened but I don't know, and given what I know about American police, I feel like they would have unloaded a whole load of lead into these guys.

Michael Reinoehl, an American anti-fascist activist was one of the people shot and killed by cops. They also shot and killed Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, also known as Tortuguita, a Venezuelan environmental activist and eco-anarchist. There was 14,000+ arrests in total as well. Just because you don't see everyone on the street lined up and arrested in the moment doesn't mean that the cops don't get them after.

Sometimes! It's safer to stay back and then go arrests the dudes when they're back at their homes on their own. If for example, no-ones life is in immediate danger, but there's not enough cops and it risks escalating the situation even further, they'll just get these dudes when they're at home. They don't have an infinite amount of cops.

Antifa isn't even a centralized group, it's a political ideology, it literally just means anti-fascist.

14,000 Arrests! Like I said, even more than the Watts Riots despite the Watts Riots having more deaths.

It was a at night but yeah, I'm 100% sure it happened. If they didn't execute him they jumped him or something. It's stuck right in my memory. Cool that they were arrested, I'd like to see how many seen prison time and what sentences they got, that'd be interesting.

For just an ideology they seem to be well outfitted and can easily group up when time calls for it all black clad like they sent a memo onbthe dress code, I suppose the Internet help with that. I remember seeing spray painted "liberals get the bullet too" so I suppose the more hardcore anarchists might use Antif-fah as cover for their actions.
