This is where I'm at, but I think we may be underestimating the courage of one person to just go out there. They'd be sacrificed quickly, I'm sure, but that may be the spark ... or it may just demoralize.

Still, courage can be contagious. I'd love to practice what I preach. I won't lie though, I don't know if I have it in me. And the point about people having it so good here therefore why do anything is valid and something I've said for a long time.

At some point though, people have to weigh having it 'good' now versus how bad it will be for their descendants. This is all such a mess that we have allowed.

be careful.. China wants exactly this, then they will make a move on every fucking country on planet earth. Communist seems to be the de-facto direction that the world is heading. It's basically checkmate in one move, one way or another..

Trump has to win.. HAS TO. if he doesn't, it's fucking over.. life as we know it will be lockdowns, gun confiscation, re-education camps and we continue living in a world that is no longer actually free.. consequences will be had for anyone who even dares lift a finger against the status quo aka communist.

Communism in the real world is just feudalism by another name. "Kings" got a bad rep so now there are "leaders for life". State, crown... what's the difference, really?

The "ruling class" will always be trying it on and moving forward by increments while the rest of us get on with making an honest crust. It's up to us to decide if we're going to allow that. Fortunately, at the moment, "us" appears to include the man in the hot seat.

Let’s not compare communism to feudalism. Feudalism actually wasn’t a bad idea, our society just outgrew it. Communism and leftist ideology overall is pure regression and degradation pretending to be progress.

Well, let's not argue good or bad but yes, we outgrew it for sure. Which is why returning to it in the form of communism is a bad idea.and, as you say yourself, regressive.

My point really is that feudalism grew from certain imperatives from ruling-class types and those imperatives are alive today and find their outlet in communism.

This demoralization sentiment always comes from some jagoff who don't know the first thing about geopolitics. China cannot project power in any meaningful way except through deception and bribery (as well as international trade and finance malfeasance, though the categories are heavily interrelated). We're talking about slotting the people they're bribing (P.S. FBI: suck my fat one).

Power projection: gone!

Points for truthful introspection, for sure

That's a tough mental hurdle - if nobody follows you, you are either personally ruined, jailed, or dead, and labeled an alt-right, neo-nazi terrorist.

I'm curious if there are any supporting stats or studies on how many 'backing people' it would take for one person to take action - like if you knew 5 would follow your lead, would take action? 50? 500?

I'd guess its in the tens to hundreds

What if I wear a rainbow Blm shirt, with a donkey logo on the back. Still doing it for the republic.
