When Frogs Jump (Is this finally how the SHTF?)
AmericanThinker.com ^ | 10/25/2013 | Daren Jonescu

Progressives expose their true nature when their slowly heated pot is categorically rejected by the frogs. The mirage of "politics as usual," bipartisanship, and collegiality lasts only as long as men acquiesce in their own enslavement. Of course, a little public disagreement here and there is good for progressive optics, as it perpetuates the comforting illusion of open debate. But what if that little disagreement turns into an all-out refusal to go gently into that good night?

This, as I've explained before, is the plausible path to conservative victory before the final collapse. Make no mistake about it: this is not a happy or short road, nor one embarked upon lightly. Dispensing with "politics as usual" means exactly what it says, and more. It means initiating and sustaining a strategy -- more than that, a life -- of continual resistance and provocation, i.e., of living as free men and women under authoritarian rule. And when progressives are provoked into extreme frustration, their rage knows no bounds. No bounds. For, mainstream mythology aside, we are not talking about a civil political faction here; we are talking about the ancient tyrannical impulse that, in its peculiar modern manifestation, has concealed itself in the garb of "democratic" civility, with horrific success. Strip off that finery and witness the old bloody thuggery of ages past. These people will not stand for serious, sustained opposition. They will crush it, by any means necessary.

And this may be the secret to their undoing, in the long run. To provoke them, through practical resistance and theoretical debunking, into doing and saying what they have spent a century pretending they would never do or say, is to expose their true nature for all to see.

Oh, they should get FULL credit for that lovely road to hell that they paved.

they'll try to provoke US to be violent, so they have reason to use the cops...

Yes, they will. That does two things: it establishes a precedent of violence that breaks ground for it being employed systematically, and it alienates the public from the people who are doing the enforcing, ensuring the latter stay loyal.

That is an old pattern, but it is yet to be tried on a thoroughly armed public. The underlying assumption is that all the fighting is going to be between the victims and the cops and that the progressive leaders and especially their supporters will be safely on the sidelines. That's fine in theory, but real civil wars don't look like that.

Which was the point of the Carolina War Game scenario of recent memory.

Of course, it assumes only one such "local coup" at a time....

Leftists are fascists, make no mistake. This article is correct.
