I don’t deny that. But what I am saying is that most people are not like many here on FR...willing to not sit impotently by and say/do nothing.
Most of America and the rest of the planet has had the fight beat out of them by a non-stop barrage of PC BS and across-the-board liberalism.
Faced with a non stop assault of people thrown in jail/sued for spanking their kids/the gay agenda shoved down their throats/gas at $5 a gallon to save the endangered snarfblat/the Constitution ignored by Repub and Dem alike...
(add any of a million MORE things here)...
It is not hard to imagine Joe Average saying “You know what? We lost. Our own party doesn’t do shit. It gets worse every day and nothing I do matters.”
It is indeed self pitying, but it is at least based on something real. In their virtual world, they are with people they like, doing things they enjoy. The way the ‘real’ world used to be. At least to a point. They aren’t used, lied to, crapped on and treated like brainless idiots by their leaders/next door neighbors.
No, it most definitely sucks. But I can wholly understand it. And that should be a wake-up call to EVERYONE. When the real world has gotten so F’d up that it now drives ‘normal’ people into virtual fantasies to escape it, perhaps it’s time to do something ‘real’ about it. And fix this mess. Whether at the voting booth, the local school board or the neighborhood. There are after all, still more of ‘us’ than of ‘them’. and we can effect ‘change’ if we really want to.
(And no, I’m not advocating violence for any lib looking for an excuse to point to.)

Excellent. Regardless of what one thinks of Ron Paul, he was winning the delegates in NV in 2008. The RNC shut down the caucus and made a secrete meeting at a secret time and place. How can one have faith in a system like that? I’m fairly regularly contacting my Representatives. It’s pretty much “blah, blah, I don’t care and my lobster is getting cold.” We try to vote good people into office, then find out they’re abject liars, or Mr. Wimpy pants that cries and is impotent. It’s not very encouraging for the future of our nation. I can’t blame someone for wanting to escape for a few hours in a game where they have a sense of some power.
people have to remember that the culture war is never lost. that’s really what the other side is hoping you believe, because they will never stop. we must never stop. people have to stop being pusies and understand every day we live our values hard and push our values unapologetically, unashamed. shame those that try to shame you. embarrass those who try to embarass you. your core’beliefs are who yo are, you live those every day. frickin have the nuts to fight for them. you can fight smart too without being like a liberal ass.
nut up. martin luther said every day is a fight with your old Adam (your bad side/sin nature). well until Christ comes back you’re dealing with everyone else’s too, and many of them are unsaved and going to be in direct opposition to you, pushing core beliefs opposed to yours and trying to get you to cave on yours. help who you can help, try to reason with those who are open to reason, and don’t waste your time with the hardcore oposition, don’t let them get you down. they will always be there, just keep chugging away, just keep proving them wrong, every day. let them be the ones who can’t let little sh1t go, let them be unable to get to sleep because their marxist utopia is never just quite perfect enough, let them flail around because they keep losing elections. let them tear their hair out and scream and rant and give themselves heart attacks because they can’t handle not geting what they want, and they see their numbers of their faithful dwindling.
crap, stay inthe game, we’re doing better than a lot of people think,given the establishment of everyone against us - pop culture, the media, the unions, the other takers, the liberal politicians watching their plans and cities go up in smoke.
freaking stay in the game and play smart. help out someone else. be freaking useful to someone.
going galt doesn’t mean not being productive or useful to others, it’s just trying to do that in a position that minimizes your exposure to government.
