While the cucked American society deserves lambasting... the very presence of all those gun owners in the USA has forced the Globalists to boil the frog far, far more slowly than they would have preferred.
In the 1930s, actually. And it only received serious pushback in the '70s, once it was determined that the statists did not respect polite behavior. There was by then much regret regarding lost ground.
And the McMichael family. And George Zimmerman. And Darren Wilson. And Derek Chauvin. And Kyle Rittenhouse. John, you criticize well-armed American men for "doing nothing," but then answer your own implicit question: "The best means of turning this around is to take control of the state via conventional means...." Why? "The state...acts to interrupt the formation of alternative centres of authority around which any kind of effective resistance can cohere. I would not recommend trying to start such an organization." The importance of the quiescent gun-owners in America is not that they're organizing for an anti-government war, or that a group of them periodically sacrifice themselves to a far more powerful suppressive apparatus...it is that they exist. As you say they're armed but haven't done anything with those arms. But they're there. And that's a problem for the power-structure, which is why we don't look like Great Britain now.
Well, okay, but actually those weapons did nothing to prevent gay race communism from taking over. What actually worked was memes and getting Trump into the Oval Office.
You already noted the flight from the cities. Assimilated and local (not "native") Americans left cities to rot from the center while the towns and suburbs remain places where the gendarmerie ultimately DO wonder if they go door-to-door for firearms, will they come home that night?
It is a question that keeps foot soldiers honest, even while elite vampires mock flyover country where their food comes from (the regular food, ok?).
All that said, drug ratlines run through small towns, and you can inflict enormous, slow damage by hollowing out a country until only the financialized shell remains.
And then Obama dumped hordes of outsiders into small towns all across America for the precise purpose of breaking the rural communities. It is nothing less than modern block busting. And, to Carter’s point, those communities did nothing.
There is a natural experiment for this state-to-state and county-to-county and anyone living in America will tell you that how many guns people own is inversely proportionate to how much gay race communism pervades everything. Obviously guns haven't totally prevented it, but there is a clear correlation and dose-response relationship.
The most powerful effect of American armaments is the fact that the stormtroopers enforcing the state's will are forced to wonder if they're ever going to see their families again.
Yes, the presence of guns here provides a powerful deterrent, which should not be overlooked. It's true, gay race communism is here too, but it's not as advanced as it is in the colonies & client states.
Those spineless dogs don't have the backbone to destroy the wicked powers. They're too busy hiding behind "Bible prophecy" as an excuse. They'll burn in Hell with their precious guns and make excuses for never shooting Satan in the face.
Electorally dominant? Well, in that mythical place, "try that in Texas," Hindu and Muslim voters dominated a city election to squeeze out the white American candidate.
But I'd like to go back a little further in time. Many many years ago in the days of my innocence and civil rights romanticism I was nevertheless deeply troubled that busing was being forced upon communities as in Boston, because--and even I, then unmarried and childless--I understood that a community's safety and strength has its core in neighborhood schools.
But all my betters, those fine erudite men of conservative letters, all they did was get rich and richer from books and think tanks and now Boston is a fully-realized paradise for illegal alien scammers and the Democratic party which loves them, and not least because the fine Irishmen and women who were the backbone of Democratic party politics since forever were busy raising money for the IRA and gushing over them in Congress, etc. etc. and grifting and Irish mafia-ing etc. etc. etc. and here we are.
And with Trump the most successful actual Deporter-in-Chief of several lifetimes, the GOP is determined to cut his political nuts off before the midterms.
I'm glad the rightful men of Belfast acted and I'm further glad that the IRA is so publicly revealed to be the vile trash it always was. I had a colleague who was one of those Smith-educated daughters of the mythical Irish poet types--translation a drunk who managed to create four profoundly damaged children while making the NY literary crowd swoon over him--and who thought Gerry Adams was--oh, fill in the blanks yourselves. She was one of my betters too.
I really hope the tide will turn. All of us have to turn it though.
The involvement of Irish Americans in constructing the Democrat political machine is pretty well-documented, but they've drifted substantially towards the GOP since the Reagan-Bush era. (If I'm being charitable this perhaps explains why they don't get 10% of the flack of Jewish-Americans these days.)
Although the Irish (and others) are angry about the migrants being imported and (checks notes) "culturally enriching" their nations, they should turn their attention to those who enabled this. I am not a fan of political violence but peaceful protest can be just as effective. Two groups in particular.
1) Gubbermints who either promise securing the country and do the opposite... OR gubbermints who claim they have no choice and no way to prevent the invasion. Easily identified since they're on the gubbermint payroll.
2) NGOs who quietly provide everything the invaders need to move literally from one continent to another, who enable the invasion and who profit from the misery. More difficult to identify but not impossible.
There is a third group who might also need some attention... the UN is apparently demanding (!!) that western countries MUST take over 2 million more migrants in the next year.
As the Antifa rioters of 2020 attempted to expand into less Antifa friendly territory, in June they moved into Coeur D'Alene, Idaho after a festive night of mostly peaceful burning and looting in Spokane, Washington. Being notified by the Spokane police, the civilian population of Coeur D'Alene and the surrounding countryside responded by showing up en-mass and armed. Coeur D'Alene escaped the type of destruction that was common in Washington State. A lady who lived there wrote an internet article describing the festivities. There were similar instances in US towns, but they did not receive much media coverage.
That was glorious. The cops essentially just stayed in their cars while the citizens were carrying everything from grandad’s shotgun, to AR-15’s & AK’s. Antifa had a real life lesson that day.
Outside of the cities, the cops also live in their community. To be branded a traitor to that community, when it is responding on a mission, is to sign your family's social death warrant. Humans get this, which is why the best enforcers come from away.
And then they quietly scurried back to their import buses to try the next town.
You will notice that not nearly as many of the antifa riots & atrocities happen in open carry states. Because they are just as liable to be shot by some sweet looking old grandma as they are the big tough guy on the street. 45s carried in a purse or under Granny's sweater are the great equalizers. Then Granny looks at the accuser and blinks while seeming to be offended at even being questioned, much less the thought of being accused.
And strangely enough, in the US, black conservatives are a growing voice and will not stand for the invasion of their towns with the antifa marxist thugs.
I can't help but wonder, do the white police officers in the UK not have daughters also being threatened and/or raped? If not, why not? If they are- Are their fathers simply THAT brainwashed by the diversity crock o'shite to not object?? And to then arrest fathers who DO object?!?
Is this also happening in Canada and just being better hushed up?
I would just bet you, that if girls of the well protected elites, such as a Princess, or the friends she attends school with, were even *threatened* with the violence that has affected other white girls of the UK, there would no longer be found ANY illegals in the UK borders. And any of the 'legit citizenry' that tried such would quickly 'find out' Anyone want to take that bet?
You may recall that after the Rittenhouse incident occurred in Wisconsin, the rioting ended. No rioting the next night.
Then there is Detroit, the blue carbuncle of Michigan. The police chief at the time, one James Craig, was a black man who experienced the Detroit riots while a young lad, then was treated to a repeat as a police officer in Los Angeles. He told Antifa that they could protest all they wanted, but any crimes and they were going to jail. He was backed up by the prosecutor and the Democrat mayor. Thus Detroit escaped. Seattle and Portland could have done the same, but did not. This did not seem to get much media coverage, maybe because it would make it look like the other riots were simply being allowed.
Same thing happened during the Vietnam War protests, after Kent State. It's one thing to larp as a revolutionary, quite another to get shot at for doing so.
The victims of the rape gangs are all vulnerable children who may have grown up in care homes or very poor families often without a father around. They do not pick on the daughters of policemen.
I believe the English class-society is to blame for the lack of reaction.
The victims are lower class, or at best working class. Police, esp. any officer or commander-position is solidily bourgeois middle class with aspirations, and an unceasing instinct for keeping above the lower classes and be seen doing and being so.
Thus the middle classes feel good at sticking to the plans of their betters, hoping that being seen doing so will reap material and social rewards, while keeping them safe for the costs and consequences long-term.
A sad commentary on cops, nonetheless. Rather than defending their community they outsourced the job to the good people who pay their salaries so they could stay in the good graces of the rulers. The cops are paycheck collectors, few are public servants.
It's wild, isn't it? There are real consequences to the narrative frame you use. What's convenient at one moment in history can become your undoing in the next.
The whole Irish thing just blows my simple mind, they have spent hundreds of years fighting for self determination and now just roll over and let the EU flood the place with migrants.
Unlike the hateful middle classes of England that have a misguided guilty conscience from an Empire the Irish have no such thing- baffling.
I’m glad you identified the solution as organization rather than senseless violence. So many glow boys out there and it’s a relief to find writers who are not among them.
If you have watched The Sopranos you saw the Italian-American community begin to distance itself from the crime ridden Mafia. When does the apparent tolerance for crime within the black community along with the acceptance by black school administrators of the disruption of classrooms by out of control individuals begin to end? When will black fathers who fail to care for and love their children and especially their boy children be openly censured by black leadership? The young Chris Rock joked about these issues but he clearly now censors himself.
On X, now without censorship thanks to Elon Musk, out of control violence has become standard fodder for ridicule with blacks typically being the most violent group depicted. Unfortunately, the stereotype of black violence is rooted in reality.
Where white people decide to live, shop, vacation and even if they are willing to use public transit (especially women) has been for decades largely based on avoiding large groups of black people because of their perceived and actual tendency to engage in violence. The term white flight has always been used as a slur when, in truth, it means white common sense.
Why do the Democrats always appear to be on their back foot on the issue of black violent crime? Why do they allow Trump to take the lead on this issue while they hem and haw? Why not make fighting murderers, car jackers and rapists a top priority of the Democratic Party and especially of Democratic mayors? There is simply no political logic to being seen as soft on crime when the majority of crime victims are the very minorities the Democrats are supposed to champion. The single most important thing Democrats could do to save the lives of young black men would be to reinstitute the police policy of “stop and frisk” in black neighborhoods to stop the carrying of illegal guns. This would stem the tide of murders of blacks that fill the nightly news in every major city in America and yet is hidden in plain sight. These kids would quickly get the message and quit carrying illegally. Young black men (15-34) are just 2% of the population and yet commit about half of the nation’s homicides. A rate an astounding 50 times higher than the average American. They are the nation’s gun violence problem. They are also the primary victims of these murders with about 6,000 killed every year. We need to save their lives in spite of the insane ACLU and its bullshit niceties.
Most of the black men who abandon their children would make terrible role models and in any case I think the balance of evidence from twin studies suggests that their genetic contribution is a larger factor in their kids' development than their absence as parents. The kind of man who isn't willing/able to provide for his children shouldn't be reproducing in the first place.
The subcultures in question are driven by shame, primarily. That means someone who stands up and names the problem the community already knows, has just shamed them. Shame is extirpated through violence, which washes the shamed in the blood of the shamer as well as serving as an object lesson in keeping the community in line and the "others" cowed.
At greatest organizational extent, tribal shame culture manifests the male lineage warband, which Mr. Carter has I believe referenced before. You essentially need to kill the entire tribe until they stop being a tribe and adopt another identity, at that point.
Escalation means something else when guns come out. Masses of men clubbing each other, throwing bricks, brandishing melee weapons- that’s all pretty easy to walk back. Once the Pandora’s box of all-out conflict is opened in an armed country, it’s going to make Bosnia look like a minor tribal spat.
Anyone calling for open warfare between American citizenry is a fool.
Very true. Yet the fact remains: Americans let themselves be pushed around by the left for 60 or 70 years. What use the guns if you can never use them?
The actual prudent gun enthusiasts are well aware of what it means to resort to the cartridge box and are reluctant to do so unless truly last resort thereby. Other firearms are held for purely self-defense in individually very small numbers.
In the US? There is a wide range, but you can expect to spend a minimum of $200. If you want and have the capability, you can build a very powerful compressed air gun; there are videos where this has been done.
The promise of free stuff opened the door to the grifters and they don’t mean to leave. As noted a very ling time ago, once citizens abandon common morals and hire the State to steal from their neighbor the game is up.
I for one, am surprised that none of ‘the lads’ have dug up grandads Armalite, Browning HI-power, or made a cheap pipe gun from the local hardware store. That said, there is no question that the “3 nights” were organized from a quasi- military perspective. I’ve seen plenty of guerrilla actions, riots and street fights on 3 different continents to tell the difference. This was directed, and hopefully for Ireland (& the UK for that matter) isn’t the last.
A brilliant essay and analysis John. My blood is up and the opening remarks you made about us 'Mericans being armed to the teeth and yet doing nothing about the Left's attacks against us stung. And it stung because you're absolutely right. I've got to think on this more because my gut tells me we're not talking/compromising/negotiating our way out of this, mainly because the communist animal Left on both sides of the pond isn't interested in talking. They're only interested in conquest and there's only one way to stop that. I'll quit at this point - and reflect on a a better thought out answer, the kind that this post deserves - before I reveal that "Genghis Khan Was a Pussy" is a more appropriate moniker than my current one.
It may be possible to defeat the left relatively peacefully, and if it isn't, we're in a much better place if we're in control of the state. Way easier to generate legitimacy that way.
"we're in a much better place if we're in control of the state."
But what is the State? It is not just the notional individuals at the top. Notice how President Trump has been seriously constrained by his hardly-loyal "Republicans" who control both the House and the Senate ... and even more constrained by government employees who call themselves Judges, and probably much more constrained than that by all the Lefties in government bureaucracies who slow walk or undermine the President's plans.
To control the state, there would have to be a massive clean-out of the bureaucracies and the legal system. It is tough to see how that could happen short of a situation bordering on societal collapse.
Medieval China had been the world leader, then its imperial bureaucracy strangled the country -- and it took 500 years and many bad occurrences before China regained its position as a global leading nation. That is roughly 20 generations before Chinese people could hold up their heads again! Unless Western countries are blessed with new George Washingtons, we may be condemned to repeat the Chinese experience.
The key is localness. Start with community watch and neighborhood defense. You have to know your neighbors before you can trust them. Build to discussing local issues and connect them back to neighborhood security. Understand who is armed, could be armed, and who will respond to simple plans for defending homes versus whatever need.
Organize to meet needs. Get the ladies to make food for your own who fall sick. Be a neighbor because you know each other well enough to help.
These are off-hand ideas, mainly as a reaction to that atomization of modern society, which of course is the intent of it all.
All politics is local someone once said. We are not even willing to put good people on our school boards. There is little chance we are going to act with more care on the state or federal level.
When deeply treasonous politicians of all parties betray their trust for decades, and sell the people out to extinction at the hand of barely human savages…
When the entire police state is organized solely for the purpose of crushing any attempt to redress terrible injury…
When all efforts to organize and overthrow this tyranny with the least collateral damage are thwarted with brutally heavy hand of a complicit judiciary and treasonous crown…
When giving up means your people will be destroyed to a man, and your wives and daughters sold as sexual slaves in the open markets, like Hillary Clinton enabled in Libya…
What do you do?
Do you give up and die?
Or do you accept that terrible equation of asymmetric warfare, where the only possible organization is two or three people, and the only targets they can hope to destroy are the soft underbelly of a poisonous and putrid bureaucracy?
It is easy to hate the rapists and murderers. It is also easy to hate those who opened the gates of your city and held them open for decades, knowing the savages would flood your country, in search of the generous taxpayer subsidies and promises of unpunished rape and mayhem.
But can you hate the blue-haired council worker? The power-mad police, who have sold their right to any drop of respect? Every. Single. Government. Worker?
Can you hate them enough to do the only thing that they have left you the option to do?
While the cucked American society deserves lambasting... the very presence of all those gun owners in the USA has forced the Globalists to boil the frog far, far more slowly than they would have preferred.
Yes, that's a good point, although also worth noting the frog started boiling in the US first.
In the 1930s, actually. And it only received serious pushback in the '70s, once it was determined that the statists did not respect polite behavior. There was by then much regret regarding lost ground.
1911 in NYC
Google Daniel Penny. See what happens when men stand up in the USA.
And the McMichael family. And George Zimmerman. And Darren Wilson. And Derek Chauvin. And Kyle Rittenhouse. John, you criticize well-armed American men for "doing nothing," but then answer your own implicit question: "The best means of turning this around is to take control of the state via conventional means...." Why? "The state...acts to interrupt the formation of alternative centres of authority around which any kind of effective resistance can cohere. I would not recommend trying to start such an organization." The importance of the quiescent gun-owners in America is not that they're organizing for an anti-government war, or that a group of them periodically sacrifice themselves to a far more powerful suppressive apparatus...it is that they exist.

Organization beats disorganization every time.

Obviously guns haven't totally prevented it, but there is a clear correlation and dose-response relationship.
Yep.
The most powerful effect of American armaments is the fact that the stormtroopers enforcing the state's will are forced to wonder if they're ever going to see their families again.
Everytime the government contemplates doing something, they always have to calculate "How many people are we willing to lose?"
Yes, the presence of guns here provides a powerful deterrent, which should not be overlooked. It's true, gay race communism is here too, but it's not as advanced as it is in the colonies & client states.
It won't be stormtroopers. It will be geeks doing keystrokes 1000 miles away. No banking, no DLs, no retirement benefits.
If everything is that hopeless, just eat the bullet now and save yourself the trouble. This black pill shit is gay as fuck.
Those spineless dogs don't have the backbone to destroy the wicked powers. They're too busy hiding behind "Bible prophecy" as an excuse. They'll burn in Hell with their precious guns and make excuses for never shooting Satan in the face.
Yet the boiling continues. Americans have been zombified unlike Europeans who are rekindling blood and soil nationalism.
Electorally dominant? Well, in that mythical place, "try that in Texas," Hindu and Muslim voters dominated a city election to squeeze out the white American candidate.

I really hope the tide will turn. All of us have to turn it though.
Pretty much everyone dropped the ball in the postwar era. There's a ridiculous amount of blame to go around.
The involvement of Irish Americans in constructing the Democrat political machine is pretty well-documented, but they've drifted substantially towards the GOP since the Reagan-Bush era. (If I'm being charitable this perhaps explains why they don't get 10% of the flack of Jewish-Americans these days.)
And this is why they make happy merchant memes about the Eternal Mick.
To make it simple--everybody fucked up, for all of the postwar 20th century
The country became enamored with easy living and more free stuff. Johnson had it pegged.
Although the Irish (and others) are angry about the migrants being imported and (checks notes) "culturally enriching" their nations, they should turn their attention to those who enabled this. I am not a fan of political violence but peaceful protest can be just as effective. Two groups in particular.

Great post Mr Carter, well done, well done indeed.
Yes. I've been lurking/mooching for a while (even the great Amelia post didn't spur me to do more). But now I'm a subscriber.
Thank you very much, friend
It strikes me as a telling aspect of your clear eye that I can’t always decide if you are espousing gloom or hope. Keep it up.
Great piece, brilliant writing.
The whole Irish thing just blows my simple mind, they have spent hundreds of years fighting for self determination and now just roll over and let the EU flood the place with migrants.
Unlike the hateful middle classes of England that have a misguided guilty conscience from an Empire the Irish have no such thing- baffling.
I’m an English catholic but don’t go to church. Modern Western Christianity does seem to lend itself to being to being trodden all over.
Irish are Catholic. Catholics have been Marxists for decades. False shepherds leading the sheep to slaughter.
I’m glad you identified the solution as organization rather than senseless violence. So many glow boys out there and it’s a relief to find writers who are not among them.
Disorganized violence never solved anything.
That’s a great quote !

Most of the black men who abandon their children would make terrible role models and in any case I think the balance of evidence from twin studies suggests that their genetic contribution is a larger factor in their kids' development than their absence as parents. The kind of man who isn't willing/able to provide for his children shouldn't be reproducing in the first place.
The subcultures in question are driven by shame, primarily. That means someone who stands up and names the problem the community already knows, has just shamed them. Shame is extirpated through violence, which washes the shamed in the blood of the shamer as well as serving as an object lesson in keeping the community in line and the "others" cowed.
At greatest organizational extent, tribal shame culture manifests the male lineage warband, which Mr. Carter has I believe referenced before. You essentially need to kill the entire tribe until they stop being a tribe and adopt another identity, at that point.
Why were eunuchs castrated?
Western Civilization has been castrating their WHITE MALES for about 100+ years.....SLOWLY!.....
Yup - controlled opposition is everywhere!
Western Civilization, it was great while it lasted. Frankly I see nothing on the horizon neither vote nor violence, that can save it.
Prove me wrong, please prove me wrong!
Yes, I intend to prove just that.
If the sons of Earth are doomed, then raise the banner of Barsoom.
I get what you’re saying, but we must always have hope.
Escalation means something else when guns come out. Masses of men clubbing each other, throwing bricks, brandishing melee weapons- that’s all pretty easy to walk back. Once the Pandora’s box of all-out conflict is opened in an armed country, it’s going to make Bosnia look like a minor tribal spat.
Anyone calling for open warfare between American citizenry is a fool.
Very true. Yet the fact remains: Americans let themselves be pushed around by the left for 60 or 70 years. What use the guns if you can never use them?
The actual prudent gun enthusiasts are well aware of what it means to resort to the cartridge box and are reluctant to do so unless truly last resort thereby. Other firearms are held for purely self-defense in individually very small numbers.
Brit here.
Out of curiosity, how much does a pistol purchased from a legal gun store cost?
I hold some serious air weapons
Generally you’re going to spend $250-600 on a decent to good handgun.
In the US? There is a wide range, but you can expect to spend a minimum of $200. If you want and have the capability, you can build a very powerful compressed air gun; there are videos where this has been done.
The promise of free stuff opened the door to the grifters and they don’t mean to leave. As noted a very ling time ago, once citizens abandon common morals and hire the State to steal from their neighbor the game is up.
John Adams correctly predicted the future.
It’s up to the right leader to bring the next “age” about and rally the people together. Without that figure, guns are an environmental hazard.
Time will tell how that shakes out.
I for one, am surprised that none of ‘the lads’ have dug up grandads Armalite, Browning HI-power, or made a cheap pipe gun from the local hardware store. That said, there is no question that the “3 nights” were organized from a quasi- military perspective. I’ve seen plenty of guerrilla actions, riots and street fights on 3 different continents to tell the difference. This was directed, and hopefully for Ireland (& the UK for that matter) isn’t the last.
Firearms are a significant escalation. Don't think anyone's ready for that quite yet.
Speaking as a good Canadian, Shirley we can agree these chaps showed admirable consideration in masking around others while sharing local culture.
As long as the cops stand down, firearms are a liability. When the mercenaries turn on the citizens the calculus changes.
Guns give the treasonous rat public servants an excuse for military, curfews and extra judicial kidnapping.
A brilliant essay and analysis John. My blood is up and the opening remarks you made about us 'Mericans being armed to the teeth and yet doing nothing about the Left's attacks against us stung. And it stung because you're absolutely right. I've got to think on this more because my gut tells me we're not talking/compromising/negotiating our way out of this, mainly because the communist animal Left on both sides of the pond isn't interested in talking. They're only interested in conquest and there's only one way to stop that. I'll quit at this point - and reflect on a a better thought out answer, the kind that this post deserves - before I reveal that "Genghis Khan Was a Pussy" is a more appropriate moniker than my current one.
It may be possible to defeat the left relatively peacefully, and if it isn't, we're in a much better place if we're in control of the state. Way easier to generate legitimacy that way.
"we're in a much better place if we're in control of the state."
But what is the State? It is not just the notional individuals at the top. Notice how President Trump has been seriously constrained by his hardly-loyal "Republicans" who control both the House and the Senate ... and even more constrained by government employees who call themselves Judges, and probably much more constrained than that by all the Lefties in government bureaucracies who slow walk or undermine the President's plans.
To control the state, there would have to be a massive clean-out of the bureaucracies and the legal system. It is tough to see how that could happen short of a situation bordering on societal collapse.
Medieval China had been the world leader, then its imperial bureaucracy strangled the country -- and it took 500 years and many bad occurrences before China regained its position as a global leading nation. That is roughly 20 generations before Chinese people could hold up their heads again! Unless Western countries are blessed with new George Washingtons, we may be condemned to repeat the Chinese experience.
The key is localness. Start with community watch and neighborhood defense. You have to know your neighbors before you can trust them. Build to discussing local issues and connect them back to neighborhood security. Understand who is armed, could be armed, and who will respond to simple plans for defending homes versus whatever need.
Organize to meet needs. Get the ladies to make food for your own who fall sick. Be a neighbor because you know each other well enough to help.
These are off-hand ideas, mainly as a reaction to that atomization of modern society, which of course is the intent of it all.
All politics is local someone once said. We are not even willing to put good people on our school boards. There is little chance we are going to act with more care on the state or federal level.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance--and separation from cat pics and doomscrolls.
Because the regime still controls the security state. They will individually and collectively de-bank, de-person, unemploy you and maybe imprison you.
Exactly.
When deeply treasonous politicians of all parties betray their trust for decades, and sell the people out to extinction at the hand of barely human savages…
When the entire police state is organized solely for the purpose of crushing any attempt to redress terrible injury…
When all efforts to organize and overthrow this tyranny with the least collateral damage are thwarted with brutally heavy hand of a complicit judiciary and treasonous crown…
When giving up means your people will be destroyed to a man, and your wives and daughters sold as sexual slaves in the open markets, like Hillary Clinton enabled in Libya…
What do you do?
Do you give up and die?
Or do you accept that terrible equation of asymmetric warfare, where the only possible organization is two or three people, and the only targets they can hope to destroy are the soft underbelly of a poisonous and putrid bureaucracy?
It is easy to hate the rapists and murderers. It is also easy to hate those who opened the gates of your city and held them open for decades, knowing the savages would flood your country, in search of the generous taxpayer subsidies and promises of unpunished rape and mayhem.
But can you hate the blue-haired council worker? The power-mad police, who have sold their right to any drop of respect? Every. Single. Government. Worker?
Can you hate them enough to do the only thing that they have left you the option to do?
