I think what annoys me most though is how these types dismiss you as wild-eyed and hyperbolic, as if that sort of alarm isn't warranted until "real" tyranny is evident -- yet those people won't do anything about it then, either. These types always look for a reason not to. Always a rationalization for working within the controlled parameters of the regime.
Yes Revolutions are risky, risky things. But the tyranny is here. ( but its an acceptable amount of tyranny! So lets just watch our Jewish neighbors be arrested and hope it ends there!)
If you can't tell, that is what is annoying me as well.
Its not "real" tyranny. What the hell does that mean?
Was it "real" tyranny when the first jew got his number tattoo or when the 100,000th did?!?
By the time they are not hiding their misdeeds, its too late to confront them, because they have the systems in place to ensure you are not a threat.
But Its not as bad as it is overseas! Yeah and its as bad as it is overseas because those people also ignored it as it was growing and festering. Ignored it until it was too dangerous to confront it. They are just like the people who watched their Jewish neighbors' property seized and the families relocated and said to themselves the next election will change it. (and the next.. anything to prevent me from taking personal action and risk)
If the finances and culture were different, and these people were on a sound social and fiscal footing, the time to start shooting them would be now. Before now.. if you actually wanted to retain your freedom.
But these people are NOT on a sound footing, and Police States are expensive and they don't have the ability to unite the victim-hood rabble as the Nazis did with their vision of the pure blood Ayrian. They don't have the ability to generate a pro-war sentiment as the Nazis did. They run out of money, and the dollar is replaced, their power wanes and dies. If I were wild-eyed and hyperbolic, I would still say shoot them now. But our cause would be better served by a tactic of preparing and waiting. (And this Ammo ban is aimed directly at that) No, its not time to start shooting yet, not because we haven't risen to the level where that is justified, but because it would be bad tactics to confront them when they are strong, when you know that if you wait, they will be weaker.
People either get what's unfolding or they don't. Most don't. Best not to trouble yourself over them.
10-12% of the population supported the American revolution. 3% fought in it. At least 80% were this type like Hoyt - the head down in the sand, "I am just living my life, and I hope it works out" type. They will not see tyranny till their own Father, mother, daughter, sister, brother or son are in danger. And then, and only then, will it be "real" tyranny. And there will be no one left to help them. The rest of us were taken long ago.
No I am not troubling over them. I hardly post elsewhere at all anymore. But Hoyt's site is probably rich with people who just need to see what we do, to know others see the same, so I post for them.
