It will start here with the elimination of welfare and EBTs.

We would do well to remember that the flames of rebellion are not kindled in a day.

While the tools of tyranny have been developed for a century.

And 650 years later England still pays a bunch of money to have a royal family that does nothing but spend that money. There’s the lesson, the peasants can revolt all they want, but at the end of the day they’re still peasants.

Excellent article.
As we said to the democrats, now to the gop: secure *our* borders; and no more billions gifted to foreigners or for floating fortresses. Enforce our immigration laws.
Cut taxes & govt. waste, reduce spending, no foreign adventures.
This isn’t difficult, at least not for ‘public servants’ actually more concerned with serving the public, than fattening their own portfolios.

You had the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. Did any good come out of that?

Part of this was due to the Black Death (bubonic plague) that killed half the population of England only 33 years earlier.

With many fewer people, taxes became a larger burden on those left, and able bodies became in short supply and could leave their deserted villages and sell their services to the highest bidder instead of struggling for their feudal lords and masters.

The lords resisted this, but were overwhelmed with the changes to society it brought. Hard to be a hardass boss when your underlings all died!

It must have been really bad then for the peasants to revolt. There was no social media, no telephone or newspapers. Just people traveling about and talking about what was going on in their area.
