Also, don't underestimate the difference between "Somebody Else's Problem," and "That's Affecting ME!" People are innately self centered.
We can keep talking about stolen elections and spying on Trump, but the truth is that was just Trump's problem. Cognitive dissonance still functions there. But now that the media is calling them White Supremacists just for buying stocks; that's personal.
Remember how much of a harsh wakeup GamerGate was for many of us. Like good liberals, many of us were mildly supportive of leftist causes until we were called racist misogynists just because we wanted good games without heavy preaching. And then the media we had trusted blatantly called for our cultural genocide.
In short, red pills have the strongest effect when they hit personally. And those are not easily forgotten.
Hussein Obama: All right, we control the media, education, and corporations. We've released a disease and created a panic giving us control over everyone's lives while stopping them from meeting and communicating. We've engineered a race war that has half the country fighting the other half. And with that control we've rigged the election for our puppet. Nothing can stop us from consolidating absolute power.
Joe "Fuckitup" Biden has entered the room
The funny thing about this is that it's unethical on two fronts:
It's either unethical because suspected terrorists are getting medical priority before American citizens
or it's unethical because it's medical experimentation on prisoners
I understand and share your anger. But if we want to save our nation, we have to think strategically, not emotionally.
We're entering the world of Realpolitik, where you don't ally with people because you like them, but because it serves your interest.
Exactly.
The deep state made a critical error here. They weren't able to immediately purge their useful idiots after taking power. And when the useful idiots realize they've been duped, they become very angry.
We can use that anger.
Welcome to Realpolitik. As Churchill said regarding Stalin, "If Hitler invaded hell, I would at least give a favorable mention to the devil in the House of Commons."
Going forward alliances are going to get a little strange. It's easy to be angry at lefties and sheeple, and they thoroughly deserve our anger. And in my heart i feel the same as you, it will be hard to forgive even family for their betrayal.
But the Deep State is THE ENEMY. All others are just useful idiots. As angry as we are for what they've done to us, we should be looking at ways we can point them at the enemy.
Just never let an opportunity for "I told you so" to pass by. For my part, I agree that from now on, every relevant tragedy will be met with an unsympathetic "elections have consequences."
That's also very true. Seeing lefties get redpilled is always a good time.
That's the one spot of good news in all this. Ever since the inaugural "celebrations" in Portland, it looks like we might just get Aunt Tifa to do our fighting for us.
On the Gab vs Parler issue, why choose just one. Use both so you don't have all your eggs in one basket.
Same is true for video sites. Use Bitchute, Rumble, and Odysee. Mirror everything.
Going forward, REDUNDANCY needs to be a central tenet. Never rely on a single platform, because any platform can be taken over or taken down.
The same is true for anyone building a platform. As soon as you get hosting, make a plan for the eventuality of losing it. Have a plan and a backup in case of losing any resource. Be flexible and responsive. As they said in the good days of the Boy Scouts, Be Prepared.
Obviously we should discuss our plans for a violent insurrection so Agent Oh-mate can talk to his buddies in the FBI.
