Why are you trying to cheer me up? The lessons of the French Revolution seem to have been lost or forgotten, but they may have to be relearned, at a terrible cost and with almost endless collateral damage. Robespierre may have "won" the Revolution, but lost his head in the process, when the "Reign of Terror" came around and summarily defeated its own original purpose.
Once the gloves come off, and the long knives are unsheathed, not much is going to put them back in their scabbards, short of lopping off the heads controlling the hands that hold them.
Why not bring a gun to a knife fight? Oh, that would be - uncivilized.
That has been my greatest fear since 2006, when Bush 43 proposed amnesty. The time was right for peaceful separation; but we let the time slip away. When the regime came to power, I was convinced that civil war would ensue. Nothing, the sheeple were content with their daily dose of soap operas, vapid comedies and reality shows.
Now, I fear we are past all that. A French-style revolution is inevitable. We are past the tipping point and almost at the topple point. When the masses stop getting all their “free stuff, it’s all over.
