I would like nothing more than to do cartel/isis shit to some random people who belong to demographic groups that have fucked me and my country. I know it's "wrong". I know that it would just perpetuate violence. I know it would probably fuck me up. I don't care. There have to be consequence. Examples must be made.Look at COVID. More people complied and did what they were told for whatever reason. You’re asking millions or billions to fight the system they’ve been educated to obey?
You could start this. Just like anyone here could. Why haven’t you or anyone else?

But my life's too good to get off the porch. So unless I lose everything or other people get off the porch first I ain't doing shit.
Screaming it won't be enough unfortunately.It's not going to go anywhere unless the people of this country all get together and start screaming bloody murder about this anywhere and everywhere they can until something is done.
Never going to happen....
If it happens rapidly enough. We have been doing the frog in the pot thing for a long time and people seem to just continue adjusting to the changes rather than getting incensed.Americans need to lose everything to make that next move.
Ever see the movie Click with Adam Sandler?people seem to just continue adjusting to the changes rather than getting incensed.

For the vast, vast majority of people, that movie is all too true. The typical day is done on autopilot and the conscious mind is fast-forwarded past all of the ordinary day-in-day-out activities. Most people barely "wake up" for 15 minutes every 4 years then go right back to letting the remote control run their lives. The hopes and dreams of the 20-somethings disappear in between the fast-forwarding and the 40 or 50 something wakes up to a reality they never dreamed of nor wanted and the hopelessness of our political future here is only a shadow of the personal disappointment of the individual's life.
Don't believe me, hit the pause button and look around at the people in the cars (look into the cars, there's people there, I swear) and read the expressions on their faces. Autopilot, nearly every single one of them is on autopilot. Sure, you could say "well, that's just the commute." Unfortunately, that is how they also live.
If changes are going to be had, the few % of us that are actually not on autopilot have to figure out how to wake them up and get them off of autopilot, or the autopilot is going to fly us all into the ground at 600mph.
Protest, go to jail. No trial needed. The election system has failed us. The justice and court system has failed us.It would at least be a start. This doing nothing shit is getting old for some of us....

Every time this comes up, I think of the Soviet Union. It lasted for the best part of three generations. It's standard of living was miserable compared to ours. It didn't fall to a revolution, but to basic economics.
A nation of dirt floor turnip farmers ruled by cruel oligarchs was not unhappy enough to get off the porch. When you say "lose everything", calibrate it by that.
People in the USSR were benefiting from an increasing standard of living until the 1980s. Once they stopped getting richer it took a decade for people to get sick of the government.Every time this comes up, I think of the Soviet Union. It lasted for the best part of three generations.

But how do you fight a system that hates freedom and the people it “represents?”
I sure hope you're right. But I wouldn't bet on it.I think the deep state is cranking it up to 11 because they are losing the cloak of invisibility, having to make riskier and riskier plays
I think we're going to see them throwing hail Mary's and things are going to get exciting, I imagine biblical shit in the next 5 years, but who wins and who loses is up in the air.I sure hope you're right. But I wouldn't bet on it.
not even the economics of the situation but the increased spread of informationEvery time this comes up, I think of the Soviet Union. It lasted for the best part of three generations. It's standard of living was miserable compared to ours. It didn't fall to a revolution, but to basic economics.

If youre trying to say unions like IBEW and SEIU arent far left youre an idiot. Even if the members think they are conservatives by nature, they are prog libs by their association and paying their dues to ultra liberal upper union management who donate ungodly sums to ultra left candidates and superPACS.Paragraph from the article. It's bullshit like this that taints that source. "Gary Bell has links to a wide variety of far-left political groups, including the DSCC, DNC, Black PAC, IBEW and SEIU to name a few.
Fucking dipshits for brains. Crap like that excludes 1/2 their potential audience.
