Producers of the future, inviting Expropriators to try and confiscate.
Agreed... the War has already started ... only the blood hasn’t started flowing yet!
The currency will collapse, putting an end to the federal government's "social safety net," "whether we like it or not."
The social parasites will be left to their own devices, and will immediately commence the looting and plundering.
At which point it will be open season on them.
America’s Coming Civil War battle lines:
1) collectivists vs individualists
2) black vs white vs brown
3) urban vs rural vs suburban
4) capitalist vs socialists
5) EVERYONE vs the federal government
We’ve been in a Cold Civil War for quite a few years already.
Since there is no equivalent to “Containment” and “Mutually Assured Destruction,” the fight is going to turn hot eventually.
The word “expropriator” is too fancy sounding and academic.
Borrow that beautifully fitting term from Ayn Rand’s ATLAS SHRUGGED. In the book they were called “LOOTERS”. Plain, simple and to the point language.
The “producers” vs the “looters”.
The question...”which are YOU?”
It’s all part of social degradation caused by liberalism.
If you think about it, historically there was a bit of a stigma behind being a single mom. Mainly because it was much harder to raise a child by yourself.
Now, if a woman wants to be a single mom, she’s free to pop out as many as she wants, and the government will run to the rescue.
Nevermind the fact that the single most important factor on whether a kid will end up in jail or on drugs is if the child is from a home without a father.
But all the do-gooders and feel-gooders ignore that fact.
It’s fer the chilrun, right?
Heading to Galt Gulch and loving it.
Happiness is knowing that 45 ACP fits both a M1911 and a Tommy. The revolution is coming.
You will not be picking a side. You are what you are; a producer or a looter. You will not be able to “blank out”.
the “Cold Civil War”...or the Virtual War Between the States.....the state of “Prosperity and Frugality”...and the State of “Ivy League Sophomorism”
Producers of the future, inviting Expropriators to try and confiscate.
In Atlas Shrugged Rand did two things mostly for dramatic purposes and to keep an already gargantuan novel from becoming even larger: she compressed the time necessary for the country to run out of resources, and she made the number of "producers" small enough for a critical number to be reached and convinced to "go Galt." The large majority of producers are, in fact, not supermen and -women at all, and their numbers are enormous in the semi-free society that America has become. Rand avoided the real-world question: could you still hold out if the government held a gun to your children's heads? Could you watch them starve? Because the real-world rulers aren't going down as easily as the ones in Atlas Shrugged - the superweapon that was conveniently blown up will, instead, be used, the entire weight of the State bent toward self-preservation. The Soviet Union lasted for seventy years on that basis.
Heinlein stated that the villain in a story never considers himself a bad guy, and I think he was mistaken. There are villains who know perfectly well they're bad guys and revel in it. Hate will do that. Hate codified as political doctrine will do that. And that's what we're facing.
