I know, and it's why I love you, brother. We can argue about stuff all day long without getting a hate on.
I wouldn't rule out the scenario you described in your last post, but in looking at what a descent into open hostilities would bring out on both sides, it's all too apparent to me that we'd instantly see a re-emergence of a part of the American character that hasn't been unleashed since WW II.
We simply haven't had our mettle tested in such a way for so long, that many have come to believe that it no longer exists. Well, it does exist, just as it does for any sovereign people. It takes a threat of real extermination to bring it out, but out it will come, if that threat presents itself.
When I examine this issue, I always come back to the basics, the most important of which, is, you have a very large population of decent citizens who are law abiding, productive, sincere, religious (for the most part), self reliant, industrious, perceptive, and honorable.
These people are also strongly imbued with a sense of rightness about their and their country's place in history. They have a strong sense (backed up by real world observations) of the correctness of their mutually held considerations about their way of life and the foundational aspects of their nation.
These tens of millions are the bedrock upon which the rest of the nation stands, and are the force which propels the economic engine of prosperity and success in this country.
They're also armed to the teeth.
Push such a population of people over the edge, and you've got a world class problem on your hands. Once driven to anger, they won't rest until everything in the culture has been put back to rights, as they see it.
We simply have truth and right on our side. Those things are more powerful than any force on earth. Any effort to forcibly undo them is doomed to failure.
I pretty much agree with your post. I just dont have the faith in my fellow man that you do.
Now I totally agree about most being good people and of character reemerging. That said, I look out across the fruited plane and see a lot of fruits. They have never been this close to the brass ring. They are seeing the result of God bashing,communist teaching and the rest of the 1963 Communist goals come to fruition in a MASSIVE number of people who lack any sense of morality, character or love of country. They are literal human garbage of all shapes sizes and colors that worship “ME”. not me as in Normie (Though as my writings clearly show I am worthy of such praise ;) but the ME that is an individual just like all their friends. The ME that pots them as Island of one Gods in their own pantheon under the watchful and loving gaze of Gaia the Magnificent (And Barry is her Prophet...Allah Snackbar). They are smarter than you, better people than you, fighting for greater good than you and thus superior to you. Just ask them Windy. You suck. So do I.
But we all know that. What I think is missing from the equation is the acceptance of just how evil they are. Like the Nazis, they are so convinced of their possition, they will likk you to win the arguement. No, the pajamaboy at the espresso machine won’t do it personally. But he will attend the Wisconson’ish anti union rally in your town, occupy your buildings and provide the ‘moral’ courage, food, shelter and escape vehicle to the ALF nutcase who will, then show up at the espresso machine tomorrow with a smug look of happiness that Dave Foreman Junior planted a bomb at the local VFW. And his meekness will leave him out of suspicion time after time because ‘well he’s not the violent type’.
True. But he haZ a FriendZ who are. And he knows their phone number. Having had ALF whackjobs chase me around the desert and pass around (incorrect) home info for me during my Off-Road.com years showed me just how dangerous the meek ones ‘can’ be. They are a HUGE part of every totaliarian wet dream. The shock troops behind the shock troops. And very dangerous.
In the end, I am convinced that the scenario will play out as it has so many times before. I just pray to God that there are more of the people in your post than mine so that we can minimize the hell that’s unleashed, faster.
