you are 100% correct. We are so far from revolt that those advocating it are merely keyboard warriors of the first order. My grandfather fought in the Mexican Revolution and the Cristero War that followed. His reason for fighting was that the soldiers put his friend against the wall and shot him because they were out hunting rabbits and his friend had a .22 rifle. He said that they were starving and that the bandits were the only ones giving food. The reason he fought for El Cristo Rey was because he was a devout Catholic and the government burned a church and murdered the priests with several members of the church. By then he'd been fighting for about 3-4 years.
He said to never take food from the government or let your family be fed from "the man". It makes him your "patron" and you owe him your life.
We have so far to descend to actually make he middle class desperate enough for violence that it's a joke. Sure, there will be the occasional outrage like Waco or some TSA nonsense or even a growth in local police thuggery, but in general you have to be willing to die and lose all your home and savings in order to fight. So we are headed or should I say, sliding towards a socialist republic that will probably resemble some European hybrid with patches of "crazy" American freedom loving anachronisms.
Correct.
Here's the thing about a civil war — depending on how the people are treated by the government, that fat, lazy, and comfortable
could evaporate in an instant. As the article points out, the Declaration of Independence says accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed and a war could certainly make conditions past the sufferable
state.
You're right about keyboard commandos
, it would be better if we put energy into laying preparations: supplies, logistics, intelligence, and so forth.
Excellent commentary.
