on so many levels this is such a horrifying tactic.
on the singular level, yes im picking up a weapon to protect myself in the case of any invasion from a hostile force. it also acts as a way to increase the military chaos and presence of the area.
the worst part is that it makes all civilians potentially hostile armed combatants. the total civilian casualties on all sides vastly increases and for literally zero functional purpose except to buttress the bourgeois leaders just that much more
when I heard the Ukrainian government was arming civilians I imagined an organized process where they give 1 rifle to each head of household and at least give them basic instructions on usage and safety, but it looks like they're pretty much just dumping the guns on the street and letting people go nuts :cowboy-cri:
Already had one case of a family getting shot and killed by armed civilians. This is just plain irresponsible.
