"One deputy made squeaky noises about arresting me." I would have laughed right in his face--well through the phone anyway. "You want to release killers, and stand down for antifa, and blm arsonists, rapists, and murderers, but threaten me?" I like to think of laughing like that as the non-word equivalent of what leonidas had to say when dipshits thought they'd threaten him. "don't threaten me with a good time." is the 2022 synonym for "molon labe." Government has very nearly zero legitimacy now. It's why I keep refering to it as "the regime", or "the occupation" like its some red-dawn third world junta shithole dictatorship. Composed of thugs, two-bit spies, torturers in the DC gulags, unelected bureaucrats, and dickless wannabe strong-arm enforcers wearing brown shirts and collecting paychecks while variously cooperating with lawless violent mobs because their bosses tell them to stand down, and they're ok with that because that is who they all are deep down. And its all true and 100% accurate. Hard to give a fuck about authority when the people up and down the ladder have made it utterly clear they want your way of life, your faith, your traditions, your culture, and everything about your country, to be destroyed. And the people at the bottom of the ladder have made it clear by their silence and inaction, that they're just there until the collapse happens, to collect a paycheck. And when the paychecks stop coming, suddenly they won't want anyone to ever know they were any part of 'the government', be it a two-bit propagandist working for the secret police, or a law enforcement officer, or even a fucking mall cop. The people that allowed the laws to be distorted, did nothing about it, stood back while entire cities were razed, first by rioters, and then by election theft, mass illegal immigration, and 'climate/covid/monkeypox lockdowns' by out of control health czars--the people that enforced this shit will suddenly be enemy number one to millions of disaffected and put-out people, both poor, and middle class, and those front-line guys ill be like "its not our fault! We had no say! We were just doing what we were told! We couldn't make any difference even if we had tried!" and they'll probably, for the most part be right, and it won't matter because it won't be chuck schumer, or pelosi, or biden, or trump, or the bushes, or obama who will be the 'face of the enemy'. it'll be the police who carried out the orders. the front line FBI guys who are labelled 'secret police'. The prison guards torturing J6 dissidents, and all the future dissidents rounded up, who will be called gestapo. The rest of them will get to where I am, where the only thing causing me to obey the law is habit, but otherwise I have no respect for it or the 'armed street patrols' of what I see as an illegitimate occupation. And unlike me, a devout pacifist, who actively supports peace, and peaceful methods, people, agitated, put out of being able to afford to live, and having given up on believing in 'the law', will very quickly zoom past the 'lawless but peaceful' stage, into open hostility with all that implies. I'm just along for the ride, watching from the cheap seats, as it all unfolds. Egging on the collapse, and hoping by accelerating it, that we can influence it to be peaceful and law abiding. No ones in charge except the banks, congress, the alphabet agencies, and the media, not necessarily in that order. The regime is rudderless, violent, lawless, and utterly depraved, lacking all moral or political legitimacy. Everyone knows it. Everyone sees it. Or at least half the population. And not necessarily one side of the aisle either. And the entire thing is just a giant dumpster fire of corruption, moral decay, complete incompetence, open contempt for america itself, open malice toward the public itself, zero enforcement against any of it, placation, supplications, and rampant platitudes about hope, change, or fighting the good fight. Rampant self-enrichment and money laundering, zero oversight, torture, violence, blatant assassinations, 24/7 histrionics from out-right mass propaganda operations, toothless proclamations, war mongering, false flag government sponsored terrorism, mass looting of the treasury for direct-conflict-of-interest public union pensions, a completely unaccountable administrative superstate, industrial grade mass spying on the public. Gay Communists openly declaring they're gay--and communist, while joking, blatantly, about grooming and raping your kids, congressmen threatening in the public square to nuke americans, while sleeping with chinese spies, without consequence or a shred of fucking law enforcement in sight, mass arson mobs, mass looting, mass rapes committed due to zero oversight of DA decisions combine with no-bail policies, mass bribery in public elections, mass election theft. What part of our government is anything but an occupation by foreign powers? Who working for it isn't a terrorist and a domestic enemy? 97% of the airforce took the vaxx. Thats 97% of them who would fire on americans in the street, if their immediate supervisor screamed the order at them. Just one example. It's a war against us, and we live under an occupation. I don't believe in anything it has to say, or any proclamations it passes, because why would I cooperate with the forces of my enemies? For my part, I will watch it burn and cheer the pyre on from the gallery. And the day there comes no consequences, where no one can enforce the law anymore, my guess is many americans will join the fight. And on that day, two million bureaucrats, and law enforcement agents, will silently take the "thin blue line" and "punisher" decals off their sedans for fear of their neighbors, lol. And then america will all be one big, happy, family again. Where no one will be red, or blue, public union, or middle-class unemployed, where no one will know any antifa, or any cops or secret police, and in fact everyone, including the former, will claim the former never existed. But instead we will all be united, conveniently, in our mutual hatred of the district of columbia. Disclaimer: Naturally not encouraging violence or anything of the sort.
