Wow, did I miss out on a few days here to see a crapstorm a-brewin’...
Let me preface with these words: It’s one thing to throw in the towel and give up before the fight. It’s entirely another thing to (as the Big Green Machine taught me) to soberly evaluate the enemy on the opposite side of the field.
And that evaluation is this: we are up against an ideology foreign to these shores and alien to our Constitution, that has finally achieved its objective of having the resources of a nation-state at its disposal.
The Left for the last three generations made no effort to hide their ultimate intent for those who defy them: they want us dead.
Through a successful full-court press of academia and the media, the citizenry has either been indoctrinated into the new order, or anesthetized into accepting it without question or care.
The Left has demonstrated their solidarity and resolve to achieve their ends. The rest of the nation cannot, or will not, rally to stand against them.
One question that always pops up is, “Where’s The Outrage”? The answer (based on my position in the watch tower) is “You’re Not Going To See It”. The Mercun Peepul are too comfortable. As long as the lights are on, the cable TV is still up, and the shelves are stocked, there will be no “Civil War 2.0” or “Lexington Green 2.0” as so bravely commented on.
But the Left is not idle, and there will be (in my view) ten thousand Ruby Ridges scattered across the land - because given the observed state of the patriot movement and the Right in general, there is no unity, and not likely to be in the foreseeable future.
All this translates tactically as this: You are alone. You might find a few neighbors of friends, or like-minded folks who might pledge to tribe up and help - for now. But when SHTF, you can be secure in the knowledge that it will be you - and maybe your trusted tribe - that you can rely on. AND THAT’S IT.
Our FRiend Eartick rightly points out that the young are beholden to The Won, on his side and at his command, and will not change their stand for anything we tell them. The number of youtes I can rely on, I can count on two fingers. Write off the Millenials as a bad investment for posterity (and I thought the Gen X’ers were the bad ones...).
Sarge, it’s just another case of a noob full of doom and gloom.
Those that want to give up should go somewhere else.
Way I see it there’s only two options.
Resist... or Obey.
For the record, “obey” is not an option.
So the big bad left is on the march... when have they NOT been on the march? To Hell with them.
We’ll fight and we’ll win, or we’ll fight and they win. Either way, giving up is for cowards.
We’re Americans. We didn’t get here by giving up and running away.
Like you said Sarge - “to soberly evaluate the enemy” - absolutely agree.
We know who they are.
