Civil War Doomsday Clock

[C-Mag]

Nor should you really care about street protests, until they are on your street.

Talk to the folks in Ferguson in decent middle class homes with decent jobs and weekends off. Until the protests were on their streets.

But let's bring the more likely scenario that most people run into in their lives. The petty bureaucrat or official that wants to push their authority around and abuse some local citizenry or you.

What's intolerable to you. At what point do you get involved at push back ?

Starting the fight is a young mans work. The kids have to wake up and realize what’s happening. There are some signs of it, but not much. OWS was a very hopeful sign, and I wanted to help.

Not talking about a street fight.

City official shows up at your house and says, ' you can't grow that food in your back yard because your garden is unsitely and the manure smells and its a public nussaince. He orders you to destroy your crops.

Do you fight City Hall or do you destroy your crops and comply ?

As for an actual street battle? I’d need to know that there was a chance of victory. The math changes with a family involved.

Show me an actual wave of momentum against government overreach, and I’m in with both feet. Campaigning, donations, whatever.

But none of that starts until the dollar collapses, and we’re all trying to survive. It’s just too easy to watch the soft jackboots go by right now.

You could not be more useless.

What do you stand for ?

I fight it, obviously.

But how much fight is acceptable to a True Believer?

Hiring a lawyer? A petition? Or do I have to stand outside and yell about it? Bomb City Hall on the weekend?

You’re really asking what I’d risk everything for. And the answer is nothing, unless I calculate that it’s worth the risk vs benefit to my family.

That’s the Silent Majority. That’s why we’ve gotten to this point. The gunmint has learned that it can do anything it wants, so long as it keeps the majority comfortable and the risk high. There is no limit to Soft Tyranny.


And that is why nothing will change until The Collapse. They won’t take your guns, they’ll just militarize the police, to render them useless.

They won’t ban free speech, they’ll just create special zones for it. They won’t censor everything, they’ll just allow media to consolidate into 5 companies, and trade favors with them. Maybe buy some board seats for the CIA.

They can’t be stopped until people are desperate, scared, and ready to act. And that’s not happening until the crash.

You can hate me all you like, but I’m right.

My kids. That’s it. Fuck the rest of you for letting it get to this point.

[SuburbanFarmer]

Same thing. Mess with my family, and set off the bomb.

You could learn from that song. Might help you grow up.

No you're not, you chicken shit coward mother fucker.

There isn't one example in all of human history where a group of people as feckless as you did anything other than get fucked by anyone and anything that came along.

Starting the fight has to be done by someone else. Someone else has to wake up. Some other folks looked like they would, but they folded. I wanted to help.

An actual fight? Only if I thought we'd win. Otherwise I'm running the other way.

Show me a safe path to win, and I'm with you. Knock on some doors, get some signatures. I can do that.

Really this can only work when it's so far gone that it doesn't matter anymore. Otherwise I'll go along to get along.

My wife would fucking leave me if she ever thought I was such a fucking worthless excuse for a man.

Sorry tale is that that isn't even true.
