At that time, the Average German thought they were going to war with Poland because Poland sent troops across the Border and were mistreating Germans in Poland. And that France and England declared war on then for defending themselves against Polish Aggression.

Compare and contrast the German media then. And the American media for the last 50 years. I would say 100, but 50 will do.

The German Media's lies concerning the Jews. Vs. The American Media's lies and description of legal gun owners.

Best to keep quiet, then, rather than to show yourself an ignorant fool.

Only fools are the ones who support the pride boys. When the moment came - when the molon labe'd - these dipsticks put down their tools and allowed themselves to be placed into handcuffs, just like every other so-called 2% milker, pride boy, oath breaker out there. Nothing but a bunch of hot air.

Well if he serves his entire sentence, at least we’ll know he wasn’t a Fed.

Want to talk boot licking? How about when the moment these gutless cowards have waited for and talked real big about came, that moment when they were visited and placed in handcuffs, they did nothing but bow to the state and allowed to have those cuffs placed on them.

They had plans to act as support and troops should the situation call for it.

Nothing else.

But... they posed a credible threat and must be destroyed.

A credible threat is EXACTLY what the civilian militia is SUPPOSED to be to stop exactly this kind of bullshit.

They were told to stand down and did.

The cuff’s came later when the illegitimate government started jailing anyone and everyone that could pose a credible threat.

Wasn’t that the original purpose of the civilian militia though? To BE a credible threat to entrenched power?

So, just to be clear, you are disappointed in the Proud Boys because they didn’t take up arms to overthrow the government?

I’m sure the DOJ would be interested in learning more about your perspective. It would take a simple court order for them to acquire your current IP address, which would lead them to your home or mobile device.

Turns out you may be able to join the Proud Boys in prison, based on your apparent view that you affirm armed insurrection against the United States of America.

No threat in prison.

No, I'm not. I'm saying they are a bunch of gutless cowards with nothing more than hot air to offer. In fact, if folks were to go back and review the bulk of my recent posts here, one would see that I have said with much confidence that there will NEVER be any bullspit CWII or actual insurrections, and for one simple reason: We have accepted peaceful slavery over dangerous freedom.

To be true and factual, I was involved with the local III% movement here in Colorado for quite a few years. That was, until we were prepping for a 2nd Amendment rally in Denver and were told to leave firearms at home, because open carry in Denver is "illegal". It was that, along with a bunch of smaller things, that made my decision to leave the group.

There are no real "patriots" alive today. We're more concerned with going to work, cashing the paycheck so we can pay the outrageous mortgage on a place we only think we own, pay the outrageous payments for the wife's sports car and our lifted pickup trucks (that won't see any more 4wheeling or work other than driving over the neighbor's garden), motorcycles, dirt bikes, side by sides, RV's, boats and so forth, pay the outrageously high electric bill (gotta keep that trophy wife in climate control, after all), put food on the table and clothes on our kids backs and hoping we have enough $$$ left over to buy booze to drink while watching the "Big Game" on that nice stimmie paid for flat screen "smart" TV.

Those are our priorities, and any fight for freedom is going to put those priorities at immediate risk. You got a country full of big talking, molon the labia types out there who love talking a big game, but when it comes down to it, they will lie down and submit no matter what. Think the feds are coming to your door for your guns? Lol. With few exceptions, that ain't going to happen. They will use lawfare, fines and liens to make you submit. And submit we will. After all, can't have that trophy wife leaving us to go to mom & dad's because we can't keep em in climate control, much less hold on to that roof over their heads.

Make no mistake - when the feds want your guns, they will get them without coming to your door for them. By the time they are done with us, most will submit to continue their lives of peaceful slavery.

They’re not... But they’re not the only ones either. Some of us didn’t join groups like this for exactly this reason.

Excellent point! And in the spirit of discussion, I have to ask: do you have a job? Mortgage? Car payment(s)? Wife & kids? If so, you're no threat either, because they know that you will do everything in your power, just like the rest of us, to hold on to those things. Getting froggy is only going to remove all those things from you. You know that. I know that. They know that. And they use it to control us all. Big financial collapse in America? Pffffft...not for a long, long time, if ever. They cannot allow collapse, because we would lose all those things that keep us subdued. At some point, it may come to the fact they can no longer support the system as is, and when it crashes, it will go hard. At that point, survival will be your only option. Until then, however, they will continue to push their agenda while making sure the economy is at least good enough for the upper echelon to be able to afford Taylor Swift concert tickets and such. Why? It keeps us subdued.

I’m at a point in my life where walking away and doing something drastic are an option.

Ex-Wife. I got the house... she got the kids.

I’m in no way a “grey man” and making up scary sounding headlines about me would be relatively trivial for the Leftist MSM.

Claiming you’ve made a point when your facts were wrong is just weird.
