Consider: R3VOLution tougher than Revolutionary War

[Misesian]

The r3VOLution harder than a revolution involving blood, sweat, and tears?

C'mon. Those revolutionaries put their LIVES on the line for freedom. We can't even get people off a message board here, go knock on doors, or go to GOP meetings to restore freedom.

I've considered this comparison in the past too, but there is no comparison. There's still time, we just need to utilize our meetup/precinct leader structure, and takeover our county GOP's. Hmmm, attend some meetings and be around neoconservatives or take up arms and die? I think I'll choose the meetings for now

now I get what you mean!

I should apologize for not making this clear enough.

I was just trying to convey that the last part of for or against wasn't always the case. I'm sure back then just as now, most people are more worried about putting food on their tables and paying their rent.

Oh, definitely. Self-preservation is very strong, that's for sure.

We can't even get people off a message board here, go knock on doors, or go to GOP meetings to restore freedom.

That's precisely my premise in making the claim that they had it easier in the Revolutionary War. It's hard to just sit at your local tavern, bitching about those god-damned British tax taking away from your meager income while you try to make the ends meet amid the gunshots, pillaging, and explosions.

Not as effective and efficient as tv, but yeah the church and local tavern were the main meeting places for revolutionaries.

No, I meant that if they had TV back then, no revolution would have occurred, as the majority of them would have been enslaved by it as today's citizens are.

gotcha. So in essense, the onslought of materialism counteracts someone's desire to be free.
