I do not believe I have EVER said we should not be prepared for violence.

I am not saying Pacifism is the only way forward. I am saying there are still nonviolent paths we can try. Failing to try all nonviolent paths before engaging in violence is morally reprehensible.

That said, there is a point at which violence becomes the only viable path to end oppression. We're not there yet.

Hrm. Really? You do not think Freedom is one of the highest ideals?

Do you know where this quote comes from?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Freedom, or liberty, is the second listed unalienable right. Pursuit of happiness is the third listed unalienable right.

We might not agree with how others choose to pursue happiness, but they have the liberty to choose their own path.

I am Agnostic, but I know that even God allows people to make their own choices in life, and it's not your place to judge them. In fact, God forced people to make their own choices after that fateful apple. If a God exists, he'll do the judging, thank you very much.

That said, you are not required to support their choices, AND there is nothing to say you can't try to convince them to make choices that you would approve of.

IMHO, the line is crossed when the LGBTQetc community attempts to proselytize children, or worse, engage sexually with children.

IMHO, children should be allowed to mature without being herded into alternate sexualities before they have any concept of what sexuality even is.

I think we agree on important things, but we seem to disagree on how important freedom is.

These people aren't Liberals. Liberals want more freedoms, not less freedoms.

The modern Leftist who supports Globalism is either a Fascist with plans to usurp power unto themselves, or idiots who listen to the Big Lies of Fascists with plans to usurp power unto themselves.

I really hope some sane law enforcement agency on county, state, or federal level are keeping the board under close observation, wire taps, etc.

They are trying so hard to subvert justice they must be communication between themselves and others to coordinate actions.

We need to know who they are working with/for in order to try them in court and hopefully start unraveling their support network as well.

The Constitution is only beyond saving if too many people give up like you apparently have.

There are still nonviolent ways to address the rise of Democrat Fascism.

The solution to this is to break the power of career politicians and put the running of the country back into the hands of citizens, so sane policies will be returned.

A standing military is critical. Your problem seems to be with the membership and policies of that military, not with it's existence.

I accept the right of any consenting adults to do whatever they want to do, either to themselves, or to each other.

Even if I think it's crazy.

You may disagree if you fail to fully appreciate what freedom means.

No, it's really not. If shit really goes to hell here in the US, American citizens will not be stupid enough to fight the standing military in field battles.

The lessons of Iraq and Iran taught us very clearly that standing militaries really are not that effective against an armed population fighting a guerilla war.

Having trained soldiers available to defend our nation or our allies is critical. It takes years to train soldiers to a high degree of skill and teamwork. It takes decades of working with skilled soldiers before an officer can be an effective leader, tactician, and strategist.

Being a large, rich nation while not having a strong ground force is something few people with any strategic sense can say is a good idea.

I'm sure the Romans were just as overconfident as you while they allowed their military to degrade.

Then the Germanic tribes taught them how dangeroys overconfidence can be for a nation.

Different world then, and now. Without a standing military, and with other major power nations being able to move millions of troops around the world in a few days, not having a standing military is a death sentence for a nation.

Hrm. The Nazis were crushed. They no longer exist in any meaningful way. If you are referring to the people the Nazis tried to exterminate, you're delusional.

The difference between gay and trans is that until recently, gay men still identified as men. Same with gay women - they identified as women.

In the last couple decades though, cosmetic surgery has allowed men and women to attempt to physically alter their bodies to try and change their gender. Normally resulting in a whole lot of 'Uncanny Valley' 'men' and 'women.'

When they finally do realize how badly they fucked themselves up with the surgery and hormone treatments, and how few people are capable of finding them attractive on a physical level, many of them kill themselves.

Honestly, I don't care what consenting adults do with their naughty bits. Use them however you like, or even chop 'em up or whatever. However, I won't support a person pretending to be a different gender and engaging in surgery and hormone treatments because the suicide rate for those folks is way too high to support anyone thinking about it.

Wait, so being color-blind and not making any decisions based on race is now racist? We have now left Clown World and entered Tard World.

I feel ya. This being used as a meme is definitely dark, but sometimes memes are made from pretty horrible images.

The only reason we fought with the Russians against the Germans is because we were fighting the Germans and the Russians were also fighting the Germans.

Hitler and Stalin were both atrocious excuses for human beings.

Slavery is one thing most people do not like, and that even extends to Communists, at least the idealists, before the inevitable powergrab and change from communism to authoritarian rule.

Marx was an ivory tower intellectual. He really believed Communism could work. He despised anything that enforced or encouraged inequity.

Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc. Simply used the stupidity of the masses to take power because real Communism requires a power vacuum, and human civilization can never stay stable when there is a power vacuum.
