I don’t think there is a need for any armed conflict.
The truth is that if every conservative went Galt or on strike for just one week by not engaging in any commerce, as well as pull their children out of school, or just delay paying their taxes, it would do more to undermine liberalism than any other act, because the fact is that liberal need people to consume and pay taxes to function.
And this is what Ghandi did to protest the British Empire.
Can you image the heart attacks the liberal elite would have if conservatives to go Ghandi Galt on them?
I think that's a brilliant thought.
Why not do it in October?
If even conservative who is "prepared" went off the grid in every way for 1-2 weeks, the sooner the more effective, it'd send a huge wave of panic through the obama regime and through the economy.
Sadly, it'd likely be a tipping point for the economy as well.
OTOH, worth it to get rid of the chair.
Ghandi called for several general strikes by the working middle class Indians, the ones who made the telegraphs work kept the trains running. I thing the problem is who is this modern Ghandi figure, does he exist or has the fire of injustice not reached the necessary temperature to thrust him forward and will we recognize him when he materializes among all the anti-Ghandi’s seeking power!
Gandhi succeeded because he had a nominally-civilized opponent.
Had the Imperial Japanese Army made it as far as India, his headless bayoneted corpse would have last been seen floating down the Ganges.
Our opponents have far more in common with the IJA than with the British Empire.
A national strike would be a beautiful thing.
We’d never be able to pull it off. Too many H1B’s, too much outsourcing.
I’d love to give a try though, if only we had some way of organizing it.
Look at how long we have been waiting for an uprising and all the while our country is being destroyed from within.
If Obama wins, those of us that still have employment may lose it anyway.
Jut this morning I was mentioning if people were willing to cancel their cell phone acounts, the Obamaphones would have to be shut off.
Thing is, are people willing to do that? I doubt it.
