the Bolsheviks employed divide and conquer, the Kulaks were actually taken down by their fellow peasants

they will pit gun toting Americans against each other, with information warfare
The gun toting Americans are fairly unified against the woke, so that's not a dynamic I really see happening here.
uncharted waters, I don't say I know what is going to happen

I don't think shooting it out in the streets is going to put Humpty Dumpty back together tho
We're not Canada, and we're not a former Soviet Satellite state suddenly collapsing into a power vacuum.
Nor do I think most of us are interested in reassembling humpty dumpty.
Just saying that trying to 'kulak' rural Americans or send them to refugee camps for flaunting COVID restrictions is going to be considerably harder here then it is in all the Euro-Canadian Soviet-lite nations.

Our "no" has teeth.
The woke don't want to die for their cause, they want to leverage the government to die for their cause.
But government workers don't really want to die either.
So it's a whole other dynamic here.

like I say, I don't know where this is going

I simply don't see a descent into violent civil disorder as something that will save America

invoking how many guns and the willingness to shoot people, is not salvation to me

in terms of Canada, that's not likely to happen here, and I am grateful for it

No one here is trying to save America.
We're just saving ourselves until America gets back on track or collapses.

The 2A is simply the guard rails limiting how far tyrants can press their will before the inevitable pushback begins.

I'll put my faith in the Lord, God is protecting me, my life has been one win after the next

so I will just walk the path

as for Canada, Canada is not a republic, so not actually my problem

best be careful that pushback doesn't play right into the hands of the woke zealots

can't kill an idea with "pushback" and you can't shoot it either

I'm living the good life, I have no cause to shoot Canadian lefties, they have never been able to crimp my style

they mostly harm themselves and the poor, guys like me blow right by them

in term of the government, it's collapsing, so no sense shooting at something which is bringing itself down

this war is being fought with information

guns are not the arm of decision

the only information that matters is the good news

It's not just cold informational war, things are heating up for sure. There's been enough rioting, guns pulled, and occasional killing to demonstrate that. It will probably remain that way, every time a black person gets shot, its going to flare up. God help us if a republican wins the white house.

Right, I got it.
Canadians, eight million dead Russians, and twelve million dead Chinese peasants suggest laying low and complying with commies for safety.
