President Trump did not order violence.
If we're being honest, there wasn't a lot of violence in DC today. Outside of the cops shooting an unarmed woman.
That said, the internet is absolutely glowing right now with people that want us gone, and we'd rather not let them achieve that.
We can celebrate/condemn/discuss what has happened today, but this isn't the place to be organizing, or calling directly for, violence of any sort. Places to do that are easy to find.
I know this isn't what you want to hear. If I'm being honest it's not exactly what I want to say, but we're at a crossroads where we either continue to follow the President's lead, as we have always done - or we decide we know best. If you remember Alabama, that didn't work so well last time.
Something big did happen today. A very small group of people made a very large message. Today was a good reminder to our leaders, and to us.
It isn't the end, it's the beginning.
Awomen.
I feel like Winston at the end of 1984.
Winston succumbs to the party's control and becomes another slave to the system
Right before he gets the bullet.
The other thing is that the guy who he thought was his ally was actually in on it all along, just a facade, controlled opposition.
Listened to the audiobook in 2016, real good.
Fuck me dude... that's such a punch in the stomach.
I feel it too.
Funny you say that.
To me it feels like Berserk the Band of the Hawk at the Eclipse, where they all get betrayed and sacrificed by their old leader whose vision and leadership they all adored and would fight and die for.
Especially with the stuff of gathering in the "Ellipse" or whatever, sounded eerily similar to the "Eclipse" from the show.
I'm actually kind of new to anime but man that one was insane. Didn't want to say anything as for the similarities as I didn't want to demoralize anyone or have them call me a doomer though. Haha...
See this is why I can't tolerate Christians.
Because Christians will tolerate anything, no matter how heinous. Pacifistic pussies that will walk to their own grave with their head held high. Did you know judaism doesn't even have an afterlife? Not gonna see them dying fruitlessly for their beliefs.
And what, an enemy becomes a brother because you dip them in water and say some words about Jesus? How gullible can you be? How can you ever trust a church leadership that's so easily infiltrated?
No wonder so few of the founding fathers were Christian. In an overwhelmingly Christian land, a majority of the Framers were not Christian. Just deists inspired by Christian morality. Shouldn't that tell you something about your faith? About its ability to produce slaves, but not leaders nor masters? About Christianity's deep lack of civic wisdom?
I love how you all err on the side of kindness, but for the love of God and all that's Holy, don't peacefully whittle away your last years while letting you and your people be wiped out.
I see a subtle irony in all of this. In the end, the "fearless, strong and free" Americans were taken down, without a real fight, without a war.
Like Ceasar said, "bread and circuses". This is human nature and a certain group is using this nature against us just perfectly.
Literally no one was taken down except a poor woman victim which just will flare more up
