It's more than just well worth the listen. It's the key to unlocking the America that we lost.
If you truly believe that there are more of us (normal, decent, sane people) than there are of them (power-worshiping psychos), then you should at least be open to the idea of mass popular gun-ownership. The more vehemently you are opposed to widespread gun ownership, the more this says about how you really see society. If you think that you are a tiny sane minority in an ocean of crazies, then gun control makes perfect sense.
It's worse than that. Most gun-grabbers are lefties who know they have zero impulse control, and don't trust themselves with a gun because they know if they start carrying one, they'll have damned good reason to hate themselves in the morning. Problem is, whereas that group once realized that they had neighbors who could be trusted with them, now they're all brainwashed into thinking that's not true. Now they think government employees can be trusted with them.
Not only worth the listen, but probably deserves its own thread so we don't clutter up this one any more.
I asked the mods to split.Feel free to cross-post in a fresh thread
You know, that almost sounds sane. Until I look back through the threads and see those who are willing to demean other pro-liberty folks because they don't match their own purity tests.
You'd think if you were looking for allies, you'd start with... I don't know... Your allies?
First, he talks about how they use the media to paint your enemies as good versus evil, but then he says we're in a fight between good and evil. I get what he's trying to say, but there's a contradiction in terms. Also, if you believe those on the other side are under the spell of this evil, then you're right back where you started.
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
They are willing servants of the people in power. Whether they are the "real enemy" or not, they're gonna be the ones holding the guns against us.
Oh, now you're stepping into the political lane again.In order to sidestep the trap they've set for us we have to rip our own heads out of the paradigm. We cannot be on the side of one of their controlled, preselected candidates or the other, no matter how expedient the reasons seem at the time. Sometimes that's not a gentle process. Kind, soothing consensus has simply not accomplished that.
You call that demeaning. I call it deprogramming. Trump is one of them, and he's running the football towards their goal. I have no intention of apologizing for pointing that out in 2016, 2020 or 2024. I freely admitted each time that Clinton, Biden and Harris were even worse.
Correct. But let's not forget that the last administration was cracking down on the platforms that allow free speech. The doors were closing. This administration has a ton of faults (which we all knew going in), but at least the doors are open, for now.If we're going to have a revolution, we have to learn to ignore the bandwagons they set up for us, no matter how horrible the other one is. We have to build our own bandwagon.
Hmmm... So I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020. Pretty sure lots of us didn't operate in that insanity mode. There was a rational consideration to be made.Quick quiz: What's that definition of insanity, again? Listen to Hughes again and think about how we got bent over for Trump to do what he's doing.
Those people are most definitely not the ones stabbing us from behind. The politicians and oligarchs and Zionists are doing that. Those people you mentioned, unless they can be made to see which side of their own bread holds the butter, are the ones sitting across the train aisle, looking out the window, pretending not to notice.
Once again, some of us made the decision that we were either going to have Harris or Trump and made our decisions accordingly. It was a repudiation of the current administration - not an endorsement of the next one - no matter how much you want to paint it that way.
I guess all these people holding the guns were just admiring the view from the train, then?
I already said we need to stop focusing on the schizos and concentrate on the evil pricks who can afford to hire henchmen.
Thanks, Tulsa.
I agree with almost everything in that video, but there are a few issues...
