That wasn’t the quote that I remembered so I sneaked a peek....
“America is at that awkward stage; it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” - Claire Wolfe

Whether or not “it’s time” is a consideration of provocation. Personally I do not believe that there is sufficient provocation yet to pull the trigger. But we’re close. We stand on the precipice and prudence dictates that we be prepared - and resolute.
Well, I would never say, on the internet, that we’ve hit the shooting stage.
For obvious reasons...
