The FBI has been talking repeatedly about the threat of internal terrorism within the US. We should be listening to them.
This little corner of the internet used to offer rational discussion from both sides of a given argument. There is less of that here now than in the past, but that is reflective of the greater trend. We are becoming more tribal. Divisive politics is working, sadly.
For a while now I've wondered I can do to help rather than detract from the situation. I've even considered running for office but have yet to take that plunge. Figure I might as well try being part of the solution, rather than venting online and then going about my day.
Before we upend everything at the barrel of a gun we first need to try and fix the system from within by getting more involved in both local and national affairs. Should our elected leaders still put corporations before constituents, non violent means may well be the best way to get their attention.
The likes of IWOG and Dan were unfettered in their beliefs which were proven wrong. Couldn't be changed. So they'd argue and then argue about the argument itself instead of anything of substance. When the 2017 deflationary depression didn't hit, IWOG ran along with his TDS. I like debate, but that's not what those guys brought to the table. They were more worried about the semantics of the debate instead of substance.
But left does that and on top of that they organize real world action, which forces it's way.
I'd bet my life savings that a white cop has shot and likely killed a black person since Biden has been in office. Crickets.....

Great observation.

Right, hadn't considered this but it's undoubtedly true, and exposes media hypocrisy yet more, if that's possible.

It's already occurred. WTF was last Spring with all the riots and looting? I live near Kenosha, WI. Why in the flying fuck did that place burn? It makes zero sense. Let's burn a medium sized town in Wisconsin? Over one person? And they were allowed to?

If everyone would just do a small act of civil disobedience like this everyday it would go a long way.
These tactics are not used to signal moral superiority; they’re used because they’re the most effective tactics. These tactics are studied in war colleges for this reason.
Why can’t conservatives in the US seem to figure this out? Where are the leaders? Where’s the conservative version of Soros? Where are the organizations?
American conservatives need to learn the tactics that communists have been perfecting for the last 100+ years because this is what works:
[198 Methods of non-violent action]( https://www.aeinstein.org/nonviolentaction/198-methods-of-nonviolent-action/ )
[Books on Civil Resistance by Gene Sharp]( http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/lookupname?key=Sharp%2c%20Gene )
[Civil Resistance Tactics in the 21st Century]( https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/resource/civil-resistance-tactics-in-the-21st-century/ )
[It only takes 3.5% of the population (peak participation) to succeed]( https://carrcenter.hks.harvard.edu/files/cchr/files/CCDP_005.pdf )
It isn’t just protest marches and rallies. Not understanding this is why we lose.
[Read about Common Misconceptions]( https://www.aeinstein.org/nonviolentaction/correcting-common-misconceptions-about-nonviolent-action/ ) — Nonviolent action has nothing to do with passivity, submissiveness, and cowardice; just as in violent action, these must first be rejected and overcome.
Lastly, here’s the history of what happened before 1776:
[Before Lexington: Resistance, Politics, and the American Struggle for Independence, 1765–1775]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance,_Politics,_and_the_American_Struggle_for_Independence,_1765%E2%80%931775 ) - ([full book]( https://archive.org/details/2015BeforeLexingtonResistancePoliticsAndTheAmericanStruggleForIndependenceGeneSharp )) — Describes civil resistance campaigns of 1765 to 1775 opposing the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townsend Acts of 1767, and the Coercive Acts of 1774. Citing Sharp's Politics of Nonviolent Action, the authors divide methods of nonviolent action into the three categories of nonviolent protest and persuasion, *noncooperation, and nonviolent intervention*.

We especially need to get this knowledge into the hands of organizers, influencers, and sponsors!
