That’s the entire point of the saying. You dont get shot with a nice word and a gun because you’re not unarmed. The reference to “nice word” in the second half is like saying, “you could try to wash dishes with good thoughts, but good thoughts and scrubbing with soap and water is more effective.”
No you definitely get shot when you try to be the shooter.
Hmm…
You do know there are places where there is actual conflict happening and there is actual attempted revolution, correct? You seem to be thinking about this from a strictly “upper class western” pov where people who’ve never shot a gun in their lives carry one around because they watched YouTube videos. That’s not what’s being discussed here.
Considering the current US anti trans trend, im pretty sure this is for a western audience.
