The difference between what's happening now and the turmoil of the past is the manipulation of the masses ... millions.... because it's so easy to get the misinformation to them.
It's been said that republics like ours, think Rome, only last about 200 years. There's a reason for that. People become complacent, spoiled. They are bored and will look for meaning from anyone. The people who want to rule us have coordinated their efforts by manipulating a segment of the population known for emotional, anti social behaviour. They've legitimized it.
If you don't think this can turn even uglier very very quickly, you are a fool.
WHAT DOES IT HURT TO BE READY?
People like you are the problem. Keep kicking the can further down the road. How long will you wait? Until they knock on your door?
So what did you have in mind? You want to organize a counter protest where we all just go and shoot antifa/BLM in the streets? You think that is going to work in your favor?
The reality is that they are a tiny portion of the population. People who are awake to what is going on is also a tiny portion of the population. The issue is who wins the hearts and minds of that 90%.
Right now Antifa/BLM is alienating the vast majority of that 90%. I know people who never talk politics, and probably tend to lean left who are waking up.
I never said protest.
