how did we get to a place where such outrages seem "normal"?
and how a populace can take back its just rights

it’s quite possible that the world is suffering from a lack of outrage right now. i suspect this is due to a lack of perspective. let’s see if we can get some.

australia bas been, frankly, surreal this year. the speed and surety with which they have gone from a rights based society to overt military occupation, mass house arrest, internment camps, and astounding levels of dictatorship has, i think, surprised everyone.

it never should have happened. it was not supposed to happen. but look at every society in history that so succumbed and you’ll find on thing in common: you’ll find people who did not think “it could happen here.”

but it can. it can happen anywhere. and it will unless people stop it.

you get to keep the rights you’ll fight for.

it’s a hard rule, but it’s not negotiable.

and unless you too want to stay on this slippery slope, the time of going along to get along is coming to an end.

in today’s episode, watch as the aussie flatfoots learn a valuable lesson about just how difficult it is to stop a crowd of people who grew up playing rugby…

this only works because we comply. so stop.

be peaceful but implacable. your right to say “no” and to self determination is fundamental. “because i don’t want to” is always a good enough reason.

we cannot all quit our jobs and take to the streets. but there is quite a lot we CAN all do.

do not patronize businesses that force restrictions on you and that support the mandates

support the business that stand with you. stand with them.

encourage other businesses and other friends to do so.

starve the beast and support those who do.

pressure the schools. support school choice. take back education.

oppose regulations and health codes. this is how they control private businesses.

stand with the doctors who speak out against this at risk to their careers and positions.

disobey. go reclaim normal, not “new normal.” normal. unjust laws are no laws at all

and most of all, LET GO OF THE FEAR. fear is the vilification

erode this from within by denying it support. make your own way. freely.
