Those going to sign, agree beforehand. Those who fail or change their mind last minute get an automatic censure.
This only further submits to the idea that we're ruled by organizations and committees rather than people. It's not a step forward.
The better option is to admit that DNC are overt traitors and are only in it for themselves. GOP too, but they at least pretend to listen.
GOP too, but they at least pretend to listen.
This attitude is what hurts us the most.
A traitor needs to be seen for what it is: a traitor and nothing else.
The problem I see is pointing out a problem is not the same as offering a solution.
If you don't offer a solution, then people will default to what they have been normalized to accept or not push against.
Despite all talks of civil war, and even despite political solutions being 90% likely to fail, that is still a more practical and likely route to success then any other method. Weekend commandos don't like to hear this, no one does, because it sounds like massively dirty and difficult work, and oh boy is it ever.
There is a very good reason though that the marxists fight tooth and nail. And if you look, you'll see the same goal every time: political power.
because political powers is a force multiplier. It decides who the police and soldiers point their guns at. Who gets funding. Who gets legal cover. Who is allowed to push around who. Fighting an opponent, in a war of perception, for control of the middle, and all the resources and logistics that come with that, when your opponent can use the state's resources to label you as the literal devil (terrorists), is setting yourself up to lose.
I think realistically, its not that there are no political solutions. It's that there are almost none left, and even fewer viable.
And we owe it to future generations to try anyway.
Our leadership of course will be harassed, our supporters imprisoned, our members assaulted, our organizers framed, and our political backers killed indiscriminately. We will have justice denied in courts. Crimes committed against us will go unpunished and their perpetrators rewarded by federal agencies and NGOs. The news will label us all terrorists and foreign agents. The banks will foreclose on our members, and even confiscate our funds to win in court, or run campaigns. Businesses will deny us. Our properties, such as cars will be impounded, or fined. Police will run cover for rioters inflamed against us by the media.
All of this and more. And this is all good.
How? Why?
Because what it says to me is the state cannot afford the hit to its legitimacy to silence, disappear, or kill us all outright. We are not enough of a threat for the state to justify a massive crackdown to completely obliterate us without risking the public seeing the state for what it is and turning on it.
And so we must organize, build, and endure
The solution is complex and not easily pushed forth in a text comment.
- Removing first past the post voting and replacing it with preferential voting,
- Limiting voting to only citizens with a significant stake in the future (adult men, possibly only granted with military service)
- Removing illegal immigrants and revoking birthright citizenship to remove anchor babies and their families.
There's a lot of other structure changes that could lead to better outcomes, but this is a start.
Removing first past the post voting and replacing it with preferential voting,
I agree because all things being equal people will, if given the mechanism, tend toward moderation. And that complicates the process of controlling elections. Maybe I'm mistaken though.
Limiting voting to only citizens with a significant stake in the future (adult men, possibly only granted with military service)
The adult men issue will be cast as misogynist, and also racist, and used as an out for GOP to vote no, in addition to the left voting no. Which, even if this had a snowballs chance, would be dead on arrival anyway. And theres no way to force it. But it does split a small percentage of the military into hardliners.
Removing illegal immigrants and revoking birthright citizenship to remove anchor babies and their families.
Doesn't solve the problem. Removing them is what most of us on the right wanted with trump, and obviously was never going to happen (thank the chamber of commerce). Birthright citizenship removal is a backdoor for the state to remove citizenship from anyone that criticizes it, so they can deny rights entirely to political opponents in the public. Anchor babies statuetes we do need, and chain migration needs to not only be stopped, but actively reversed.
Revoking the state's ability to limit tax exempt status on churchs that engage in politics, might help, or might not. The tax system has been weaponized against small businesses, speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association (go ask the waco members about their tax stamped machine guns. Oh wait, they're dead), privacy, right to engage in commerce, right to travel, right to collect rain water, property, and firearms and self defense rights.
Tax system has to be abolished as it currently exists.
