[lapsus calami]

 

 

There is, has been, fighting back going on, proportional to circumstances and by what people can do, all of it locally. You just don't see it, doesn't make the news. Most of the time you can only find out via social media that there was a stink and that it was handled. People are more primed these days than in the past. The communistas hurt themselves trading out incrementalism for all this in-your-face stuff, which is now putting a steadily increasing number of people on alert and at the ready to sniff out and stomp on BS.

 

 

[enumerated]

That’s true, there’s always a certain percentage of people who will fight back.

Unfortunately, things have to get a lot worse before we can hope for a big enough percentage to mount an actual revolution.

Even in the American Revolution, it was only a minority that took up arms - many farmers and merchants cooperated with the British or tried to stay neutral.

In fact, the problem of colonists cooperating with the British - feeding, housing and supplying them - created an perverse situation wherein Washington often had to burn colonial farms, warehouses and bridges in order to thwart the British.

This caused colonials to resent the Revolutionaries and to consider them troublemakers, rather than freedom fighters.

It was similar to the way the Left today calls us “insurrectionists” and “domestic terrorists” whenever we lift a finger to fight back.
