It's also noticeable, that many lower echelon Democrats have written concerns about violations of certain constitutional rights to their discussion boards over the past few years.
Can you watch a YouTube video with your computer? If not, I can find a link. If so, watch the following. Overlook the funny boy who does the quick introduction, and pay close attention to what Marcin says.

That project is still active, but they only have a certain amount of funding and certain changing number of people for it (interns, volunteers,...). They switch back and forth seasonally between sub-projects.
Think about the ramifications and effects on the economy, social life and politics. Most people tend to behave in at least some ways that are more natural, healthy and productive than the pathologies that media/propaganda sponsors bait us with.
Long ago, for an effort in Czechoslovakia and Poland that helped lead many to more freedom, we eventually called it nonpolitical politics after the label given to it by one man. There was much more to it, though. The general effort of nonpolitical politics was that of engaging in healthy behaviors regardless of state policies.
They even rejected the linguistic activism of the political bosses and spoke in older, healthier terms. They didn't have much in the way of preparations and self-sufficiency before the general strikes, but they did their best and were successful.
We can become much more self-sufficient and have no need for a general strike.
There are other efforts outside of Marcin's projects, but we need many more of them and much more interest in general.
It's a major subordinate way to freedom. It also depends, of course, on the efforts of more people to honestly obey the original, infinite and unchanging will of G-d.
Let me understand....you’re really talking about conservatism without reliance on electoral politics. Or to coin a phrase...Conservatism without Ballots. Its something I’ve been thinking a great deal about lately. With the exception of the most deluded, I think there is pretty much a consesnsus that electoral politics has failed. You see it both on the left and on the right
If we value conservatism and freedom, I think it’s incumbent on us to be conservative and free. Permission from the kleptocrats not really required. I see hundreds of ideas for expanding freedom that don’t involve politics. Perhaps the emphasis should be on that rather than which group of scumbags we think would do a better job wielding the whip.
So long as we remain focused on a rigged political game that we just can’t seem to win, we’ll continue to lose. No one that I’m aware of sells books on winning strategies for three card monte, because it’s generally accepted to be a suckers game. Is electiral politics really any different? What we see right now at the Federal level is electoral “success.” The gop won in 2014. Sure doesn’t feel like victory to me.
