And instead of turning down the heat, they're clamping down a lid.
In the history books, great social revolutions are often distilled into digestible reasons for their emergence. Rising unemployment, widespread illness, cultural upheaval, and rapid technological change have all been diagnosed as the proximate causes for various sudden shifts in society. If you look past those antiseptic historical autopsies, though, and concentrate on the feelings and passions of the people who experienced the revolutions firsthand, you will find another symptom present in every single movement for great change: popular rejection of ruling class lies.
People despise lies, especially lies that have had the effect of making them feel foolish. People despise lies so much that they will go out of their way to pretend obvious lies are somehow still based in truth. It is much more comfortable to believe that governing institutions continue to make "honest" mistakes than to accept that those institutions abandoned honesty a long time ago. It is easier to spin one lie away with yet another soothing lie than to accept the darker, harder, bitter truth. However, officially sanctioned lies tend to coagulate in the body politic much like spike proteins clotting in the blood until, eventually, the whole system just bursts.
When that happens, people become rightly mad. They are mad not only because they finally recognize that their government has been engaged in massive deceptions, but also because they are ashamed for having defended obvious lies as truths for far too long. Rage is the inevitable result — a rejection of the people and institutions responsible for such degrading self-delusions. And when rage arrives, a peculiar thing tends to happen: fewer and fewer ruling-class heirs remain to defend the status quo. History records successful revolutions when the previous system's liars rebrand themselves...

Very true.
Just read this. Yes the Marxists are,and the steam is rising everyday.
“rage is in the air”...i’ll say.
1791
The reaction to the song rich men north of Richmond shows how yrue this is and how close we are to revolution.
“Call out the instigators
Because there’s something in the air
We got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here”

GOD given Freedom and Liberty and globalist marxism can’t occupy the same space.
People are seething. And this situation isn’t going to be fixed by “voting harder”. Most people understand that 2020 was rigged. Well, if the Democrats lose in 2024, they will be vulnerable to investigation — so they won’t lose in 2024. They need to cheat in 2024 more than they needed to cheat in 2020.
People should get ready for what follows.
Yep.
Yep
> People despise lies… <
Well, yes. But half of America has no idea they’re being lied to. The mainstream media tells them that Trump is evil, climate change will destroy the world, illegal immigrants are harmless dreamers, etc.
And they believe it.
In a way it reminds me of Nazi Germany in late 1944. The Allies were closing in. German cities were in ruins. The handwriting was on the wall. Germany will lose. Yet the majority of Germans still supported Hitler, and expected him to pull off some miracle. Such is the power of propaganda.
So maybe the author is right. But we’re many years away from the lid finally blowing off this pot.
If people had listened to MCCarthy, and read, None Dare Call It Treason we would not be at this point.
Bring back the guillotine.
The Good Lord knows, we need a DIVORCE. Either from the Blue states or Washington. I see no way of living with them peacefully.
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Once that bridge is crossed, force is all they have left.
And as for the liars disappearing or fading, that might have been possible, but what was done through the Covid jab nonsense and January 6 detainess isn't something you just walk away from, no matter how much 'media' doesn't talk about it.
One of the best piano solos of rock classics.
"Freedom" - freedom to do what, exactly? Does your weak government provide freedom for bolshevik revolution? Sure looks like it.
