I have always drawn a distinction between the ‘civil’ and ‘uncivil’. It’s kinda obvious after all, isn’t it. What’s wrong with a little civilized protest? What government officials, and I mean individual gubbermint elected officials should fear, is protest of the uncivil variety. They should be damn scared actually. This tension should exist in our society and I believe our founding fathers intentionally wrote our constitution to allow it. It is a healthy and natural thing for a free people to do when tyranny has become the norm. Our constitution has an escalation built in - free elections, free speech, free press, peaceably assemble, petition grievances and then the freedom to bear arms. The latter is there for a purpose and it must have been on the minds of our founding fathers given that they just rebelled.

‘When the people fear the government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty.’ Thomas Jefferson (I think).

“Sounds anecdotal to me!”

LOL. It is just a conspiracy theory.

As a friend used to say, “If they are worried about civil unrest, why are they working so hard to unrest us.”

Summit News is an Info Wars website. Paul Joseph Watson has very close ties with Alex Jones.

FTA: “There is that part of the US political psyche that takes rights to a complete extreme.”

“deep independent streak that believes the government is a nice-to-have not a must-have.”

He’s obviously never been to Massachusetts.

Sheeple-fest.

the very specific mentality of Americans made them much more likely to rebel against lockdown measures compared to citizens of other countries

Well he's got THAT right.

I so much want these “experts” to be demoted to “patzers” when proven wrong. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the program.

It could happen, especially if law enforcement "just following orders" gets rough with citizenry.

When you the Joy Behars and the like ranting about protests, you see either fear or someone still thinking they're untouchable, or a combination of both.

Might want to check up on their gun sales in the last 10 years.

I took a training class with an Aussie who said most just buried them in the bush.
