Listening to this as I dream about governments being accountable to the people. Local city/state governments respecting the rights of the people they help guide.

You're in for a long wait. To pass the time before you die, I recommend tears.

Nice.

I pass along some semblance of hope... you pass on cynism and snark.

Which will win? Lets find out.

That's not snark. Its despair. I'm sensitive and deep, like a stab wound.

I've already won, though I take no pleasure in my triumph.

What do you want for your 'Merica?

I do care, but I am an asshole. What of it? I'm in good company. Is that meeting halfway?

The fight is not yet over, merely impossible to win.

Anyway, is the idea to return America to a semi-mythical Golden Age? If so, noble. Is it to make America a better place? What does that place look like to you?

My ideal America would be like Amsterdam, only with more Mexicans and taxes! Actually, that's an asshole thing to say. It'd be more like The Old West, for serious. Only there' be more Jews.

"The fight is not yet over, merely impossible to win."

Yay, snark.

But to answer it for folks who actually WANT to know...

No. It's not impossible. In fact, all it takes is 1 in 100.

We got that? We got our country back.

Never had you pegged for an idealist.

Rather generous terms for victory...liberal even.

You know, I am, by nature, a lazy old bastard.

Kinda like a tomcat grown fat, old and lazy, yet who's claws are still ever so sharp.

And I say, why FIGHT at all ?
Why fight a brawl you do not have to ?
Especially with folks who outnumber you, and have you cold on equipment and weapon supplies.

It wasn't what broke the back of prohibition, it was that NO ONE OBEYED THEM.

Just... as simple as that, ignore the bastards, in every possible way while dropping a little sand in the gears every moment you can steal while no one's looking.

Refuse to comply, as far as you can, or will, push it, and encourage others to do the same.

Or, you could meekly beg "permission" to stage a fully ignored "protest" in your "free speech" zone and collect in a convenient package to be set up by provacateurs and beaten down by jackboots.

Or even worse, you could raise up arms and demean your cause by getting resistors labelled terrorists and providing all the excuse they need to turn everyone else and the law against you, without it ever being clear that even those cheerleading your prosecution and/or slaughter are losing their rights too.

Think, boy.. THINK - what do they NEED to fulfill their agendas ?

Money, Troops, and Credibility.

You slice those budgets, everywhere you can reach, cut, and cut, and cut some more, and when you can't cut, you divert the cash flowing to the war machine into those human "services" you hate so much - but honestly, if you had a choice between feeding someones kids and blowing someones up, dude... be HONEST with yourself, embrace your humanity!

Cut the troops by appealing to their disallusionment, and cut off their supply by fouling the institutions which produce em, the hell camps, juvie "justice" clones of the same, reforming the public education/indocrtination system (and we even have a replacement model, see also: Sudbury) and prevent the dehumanization of our kids, no matter the source of it, from Gov propaganda to thug culture to suburban racism, hit it hard and prevent it from taking root in the first place by TEACHING A BETTER WAY.

And cut their credibility by pulling aside the curtain, showing them up for the laughingstocks they truly are, politicians and shillers, you can't take em serious, cause then they take themselves serious - mock, jest, snark, but don't give em any legitimacy, or let them take it.

And it's just that damn easy, cut their supply lines and let em flounder, and you don't even HAVE to stomp on them, they'll dry up and blow away.

Problem is, you WANT to BE them, hold up the mirror to your own actions and rhetoric son, THINK, for bloody once!

You don't need to become them to beat them, that defeats the fucking point of it all.
