“And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” he said.

Like Hitler’s “Krystalnacht”, right?

JUST like Hitler’s “night of broken-glass”??


US has a blanket-policy, that they NEVER bargain with terrorists: once you “appease” 1 of them, then the ALL are certain of their terrorism’s “rights”.

US’s policy is simply to break them.

Nonfatally if possible, but there’s no moral/ideological problem with killing them.


The US … I expect only 1/3rd of the US’s population to be left alive, after US Civil War Part2, & the ever-escalating ClimatePunctuation has finished trashing things, these next years…

When ww3 begins, the ContinuousHammerfall stage of The Great Filter ( 2035-ish ), I expect not 400,000,000 citizens in the US, but 4/3 hundred-million citizens left alive.

133,000,000-ish.

Maybe the remnant left alive will understand the stakes, then…

as I’m “sure” the rest of the world will, by then ( not a chance in hell, iow ).


Socio-political-pressure NEVER kept humankind honest.

Not in the old-testament, not in the new-testament, not in the mahabharata, not in the buddhist, or shinto, ar any records.

IF humankind survives The Great Filter, THEN objectivity is going to be LAW among the survivors, however few they are.

Sounds a lot like Putin talking to Ukraine

Lots of talk in this thread. I stood during the pandemic against anti-vaccs and no-masks and intend to again. I’ve heard a lot of excuses, mostly surrounding a need to work and pay bills and how they cannot jeopardize that.

I wonder if there will be excuses this time.

I’m not sure why you think the need to work and pay bills isn’t a legitimate reason to not do other things. You have to eat to live and living is a lot harder without a home. Or with a home but without services like running water.

Because it’s just an excuse… I shower daily but somehow that task doesn’t prevent me from doing other stuff

Similarly you can work and pay your bill while still setting time aside to organize, protest, write, etc

I thought we were talking about people using having to work and pay bills as an excuse to not go out on the street and protest. You can’t do any of those things from a cell, which is what they’re risking. I don’t blame anyone for not risking that, especially if they have people who depend on them like small children.

But sure, they can do other things like organize and write. That’s true.

That’s hilarious they think they know what violence means, or revolution. I’m frankly surprised they can read.

More people should know what’s in Project 2025. It’s a guide to creating a Judge Dredd universe, where the only people living in it will be the Super Rich and the Super F*cking Poor.

They’re not even trying to hide it.
