I posted this as a response to another thread and wanted to create a separate one to get other people's thoughts on the subject!

The reason We The People will never revolt is because the vast majority of us are family orientated people who work, go home, spend time with family, pay bills, and relent to the simple fact that they cannot do anything to change the system because of a clear fear that any resistance & the government will step in and TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY from you. We see it all the time! The "little person" gets screwed royally while the "powerful" gets away with anything!!!

Now, am I willing to give up everything for my principles, morals and values. Yes I am one of those guys but I am not naive enough to go at it alone....... AND HENCE THE PROBLEM. We can talk about revolution all day but until there is a concerted, unified & organized effort it will never amount to crap.

I'm not talking about a few hundred or even a few thousand that is organized together but Hundreds of thousands is needed and I just don't see that many people willing to give up their lifestyle and ultimately their life for Liberty. "Give me liberty or give me death" sounds heroic & patriotic but how many are ACTUALLY WILLING to give up their life for Liberty???

Leaders!!! We need powerful leaders (like what we had during the Revolutionary War) like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, etc...... We need other countries allied with and supporting a revolt.
Who would step up to fill that bill? France 😂 England 😂 Spain 😂 Australia 🤔 Canada 😂 etc.... Why would no countries back a a civil war in America? 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲💲
Any country that stood up to the current American leadership would lose BILLIONS & BILLIONS of dollars that America currently pays them.

So I am not holding onto any perceived notion... Right now, we just do not have the organization to accomplish anything so massive!

That may be like, you don't have to die for your country, but let the other(bleep) die for his.

You seem to be missing the point, are you willing to give up all you own for socialism/communism? Our lifestyles are already at risk. Do you think all this leftist idiocy is going to end well and we will be unscathed? Nobody wants civil war, this time it is about keeping we the people from becoming property of the state. Will you fight against that?

Most if not all wars are fought over money. Most are also, a rich man's war, and a poor man's fight.

My point exactly, when you dont have much to lose...it will be worth the risk.

In my perception, a lot of people have lived long with the notion that certain things "can't happen here, this is America." I wouldn't hang my hat on that idea, because just about anything can happen anywhere, including here. All it takes is the right (or wrong) spark at the right (or wrong) time in the right (or wrong) place.

Always refrain from saying "never."


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

I’m so glad I don’t live in a condo in ‘punta gordo” or wherever the fouck ever.

Neegers, queers, liberals lie.

Tear down monuments, do away flags...have they changed. All they do is take.

You don’t have freedom now, what is there give up?

You don’t have free and clear private property ownership, youre a managed peasant already.

This is a great description of where we are in time. I know what a civil war would bring, not good for my family. Myself I am willing to give up what I have personally but many don't want to inflict the pain on the family.
This is how they will slowly erode the great country we are. A leader is exactly what we need and Trump was the closest thing to that. This is why they are destroying him. I have been vocal before, we need to get in the streets if they do more to him. I don't see that happening the way we communicate now. They would have a head start quelling any meaningful protest.
I notice on the banner scrolling through Fox last night calling the Jan 6 protest a riot and all the riots by antifa and BLM as protests. The media is also the enemy to freedom now. I won't watch FOX but my wife still does. Keeping a blinded eye to what the media pushes is a big mistake. Harder for me since my wife's check comes from a media affiliate.

Most won't do anything until it's "personal".

From the movie, "The Dirty Dozen"

Capt. Stuart Kinder:
These people don't know their enemy is the Germans. They think the enemy is their own United States Army!

Major John Reisman:
Maybe that's because the Germans haven't done anything to them yet.

When enough are laid off and china's troops or UN troop's start marching across the USA there will be no stopping a civil war or any other war.

Until then most will soak up free stuff.

That is why the majority of this is talk by people with nothing better to do. So they are LARPing with Q, and Trumpism. Just the same way some far-left Social Justice Warriors run around. Kind of like a hobby. They are looking for something so they can feel self-important.

I've had a good run thanks to this amazing country, and I'll leave it at that.

Since the beginning of this great country, it has been but 10% of the population that will take up arms to stop the tyranny and fight till the death.

The other 90% will just stand by and watch. Hasn't changed in 245 years.


I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.
