RE: Mark My Words: American Civil War 2.0
Wow, am I ever glad I moved to Canada when I did. I thought the States was f'ed up back then, but it sure hasn't gotten better. Actually, some things have. Marginalized groups have a louder voice and more rights, despite some trying to take those rights away. Groups like the ACLU are fighting corruption and some people are more woke than ever. Some, on the other hand, are showing how ass-backwards they are, and how very many people have resisted evolution on a mass scale (like, you know, racism, and thinking that fighting the government with bullets is a good idea).
The fact that your former community has organized a militia is both sad and unsurprising, considering other things that have gone down there. I can only hope that the more progressive-minded citizens will get out and vote for change that doesn't involve civil war and the massive casualties that would bring.
Well said on every point.
You know me--I am the last person who would suggest a community just lie down and let their rights be stripped. But the days of good old fashioned shoot 'em ups are long gone. Anyone who thinks equipping citizens with the right to shoot semi-automatics at a fully automatics, grenades, rocket launchers, sonic disruptors, and bombs is just...good lord. Am I saying the government would be right to use these weapons against our own people? Hell no. But that doesn't mean I can't acknowledge the possibility. This ship has sailed--the one where you take up arms to defend your rights. That should have been done generations ago as autonomy was slowly being stripped from our national citizens through desensitization, endoctrination, and drug abuse. These days I'm not even sure I'm altogether skeptical about the flouride theories. At any rate, the options proposed by community militias are no longer viable. And the leaders who propose them are doing nothing more than leading sheep to slaughter.
