> I get the feeling that you feel threatened by me voicing ideas that differ from yours and it seems like you think I've worked with someone of importance at some degree, No, its less than that. I've set ideological boundaries, that make me suspicious of differing opinions because thats how you stay safe nowadays. You don't take big risks. And you impute motives whenever you get the chance, because in lieu of knowing people, you have to make assumptions. Someone disagrees with you too much, you have to ask why, whats driving that. They can do the same, or point out they could do the same, makes no difference. Its not about fairness. Its absolutely a double standard. Likewise, someone agrees with you too much, you got to ask the same: whats the motive. Assume the worst first, and then let them prove you wrong. Shields up 100% of the time. > What's funny is, on top of those things, I'm almost certainly younger than you; judging by your temperament, likely more than a decade or two. Then you have no business being or getting involved in anything. Go home, live a happy life, the best you can. Free speech can and will be openly persecuted one day in american and western nations. And just like they hunted the J6 protesters, they can and will troll archives of sites like this, for speech they wish to prosecute. I know you might feel isolated, or alone in this world, alone in your life, with your opinions, and beliefs. You're not. But there is also no reason for someone who is young, to take the risks needed to correct course. thats not your responsibility or burden. The young don't protect the old. Its our job to protect *you* and theres zero shame in not participating. If that doesn't dissuade you, I can get why. Theres a lot of guys out there, young, and old, and inbetween, who have that fire, to do something, to be part of something. But it isn't about that. Not at all. Thats all wrong. Its about what *should* and *shouldnt* be done, regardless of the cost to ourselves, no matter how much we don't want it, or how badly some of us do. Its not about what we want or don't want. I don't mean to be patronizing. I really don't. It's about doing whats right, even if everyone says its wrong. Even if you get labelled the boogieman or the bad guy. Its being willing to become "the bad guys" for the right reasons, to protect innocent people, as many as you can, from a government that has absolutely become destructive to life, liberty, peace, and people's livelihoods--protecting them from a government and its departments that are **absolutely** engaged in murder, fraud, terrorism, and the destruction of our economy and way of life. > you'd better fucking believe there are good feds. If there weren't, I would have been murdered or v& years ago. I don't say there are "no good feds" simply because there are 'no good feds'. I say it because I don't hold any illusions about silly ideas involving 'trust' or 'allies' or 'the good ones'. Its not that there aren't, its that we are in an actual, legit, real life, no holds barred, war. And only one side has shown up for it, started even, and thats them. And until that day that we see massive leaks. Massive walk outs. Orchestrated tactical campaigns by those feds, against their employers, and against the federal government, we must assume none of them are good, and every last one of them is a potential enemy. > Something is telling me there's a chance you're doc (or maybe ire is) I'm neither but I do enjoy their posts, and even have some of them saved. They're smart and have insight. I usually tell people to take anything I write with a grain of salt, especially if it turns out I'm wrong about them. I have no way of knowing. The cynicism isn't a shtick. Being cynical means you're rarely taken by surprise in a bad way, except when the surprise is something good. > If there weren't, I would have been murdered or v& years ago. Well, if you're one of the good ones, I guess I'm glad you weren't, supposing any of thats true. Doesn't matter. Question you got to ask I'll send you in a pm.
