"The Narrative" only works when it is used against us. That is what it is designed for.
It doesn't work against them because they do not really believe it themselves. They only need a rationalization for seizing power that will confuse and distract their opponents for a critical time interval while they consolidate their positions and organize their next encroachments.
"The Narrative" uses the virtues of altruism, generosity, open-mindedness, and conscience to cause self-destructive behavior in the people who have those virtues. "The Narrative" demands that people of good faith must lower all of their defenses against predators, even to the point of denial that such predators exist.
What can work for us is straightforward refusal to tolerate them. Don't argue with them, don't participate in their programs, don't accept or obey their orders. Don't hire them, don't work for them, don't permit them to remain in any position of authority.
They are doing all of these things to us right now.
Yes, I believe we have passed the point where all of this can be resolved peacefully. And look who is conjuring up all the violent mobs while we talk about peaceful solutions.
You might be right - but I think we should at least try. IMHO we have tried to change the narrative to be inclusive - which is certainly correct. But by doing so, we alienate those who might otherwise support a broader message.
I think I need to be clear - the target here is not the hardcore Marxists among the "protesters" - instead it is the people who want justice to be meted fairly, but see that this often does not happen. They feel powerless and, rightly or wrongly, believe that conservatives do not care about them. They have been force fed for so long with lies and unkept promises - they truly believe we want "string 'em up". They only way to counter that is to show compassion for their cause. By agreeing that Black Lives Matter and shifting it to ALL Black Lives Matter forces the "thugs" to take a clear position - either they all matter, or just the "thugs" do.
