Fear and intimidation work every time they are are applied with sufficient force and speed.
And this was speed, before even the National Guard was called (if it ever shall be). In the absence of any resistance, the onslaught was graced with the feeling of inevitability.
In National Socialist terms, this was a Putsch. On November 8-9, 1923, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party led a coalition group in an attempted coup d’etat which came to be known as the Beer Hall Putsch. Unsuccessful, this led to the imprisonment of Adolf Hitler and eight of his compatriots, but ultimately it was redefined as a heroic effort to save the nation and integrated it into the mythos of Hitler and the Nazis’ rise to power.
The perpetual revolution. Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the “flower children” WON their revolution, and the current unrest is directed against these same “flower children”, who are now in positions of power and authority.
How do you rebel against the rebellion? More importantly, why?
(A) because it’s there
(B) because there are still vestiges of ‘white privilege’ or ‘establishment’
The revolution is Communist in nature (they don’t wave the Mao books anymore, some still wear Che shirts, none wave the North Vietnamese Communist flag these days). The pillars are black separatists, feminazis, and homofascists. Separate interests and ideas of power, but aligned together against all else. Fellow travelers may think they are safe for spouting the rhetoric but if you aren’t in one of those groups, you were born with ‘original sin’ and cannot be redeemed.
