Yes, even those who are starting to see what's going on are doing risk/reward calculations and many aren't willing to risk a lifetime of accumulating "things".

When the price gets steeper, our numbers will grow. This is the way all movements start. A few people stand up, the State tries to hammer them down, more stand up and people start paying attention, but the groundswell can take time.

But this thing is going to be accelerated by the attack on the 1A and 2A. The States will Nullify, and then the whole Constitution gets put on trial in front of the world. If we win that challenge, this ends peacefully, as it'll cause a landslide in 2022. If we lose those........it's either Convention of States or the worst case scenario.

Well the movement is going to need to get strong soon. I think it will, the frustration amongst people in general seems to be continuing to rise. "Things" wont be good enough.

I dont blame people for not wanting to risk a fight with the machine but the machine wants to fight and we kinda dont have a middle path here.

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is, even if a patriot does stand up and start stacking bodies, the "conservatives" will instantly turn against him. Trump will condemn him. He will lose all his friends and family. He will either die a "terrorist" and be forgotten or be imprisoned until he dies alone.

There are people out there willing to take lives for this fight, but they will not be the heroes that they expect or that we claim they will.

Communism played the long game. Always does. Also watch v for vendetta and thenthinlk about the fact that communism is an idea. We need to play the long game, too.

Now they tell you you're stupid, to look at the definition of Communism and socialism, and based off the definition alone, regardless of the teachings of the very founder of Communism himself, that "that's not true communism stupid!"

But they don't like when you tell them to look at the definition of capitalism and when they want to kill capitalism, it's not corporatism they're targeting but any successful middle class or higher private citizen who owns their own company without taking advantage of the masses.

The mentality of not thinking it is possible is precisely why it happens in every country ever.

Well not just that but it is certainly a part of it.

I blame it on joggers running with masks on a windy day in full sunlight.
