Okay kids, let’s make some assumptions here… you are free to accept or reject them as you see fit:
• We have fully entered a new phase of “acceptable” violence. What we now see is “recreational arson,” that is, the setting of fires with the inherent risk to human life for fun. Remember when you were a kid and how thrilling setting off fireworks was for you? This is the exact some thing, kicked, as Emeril might say, up a notch.
• One major political party and their farthest left members fully support this violence, because they see it as the best chance for wholesale social change, e.g.the Socialist States of America (or some other similar euphemism for fascism, which is what we are really looking at here). They are correct. Historically, times of massive uncertainty offers a narrow window for massive political/government change. The other side understands that this is “The Year of the Jackpot” [Refer: Robert Heinlein], and they are all-in.
• Yes, we have seen this kind of urban violence before in the late 1960s/early 1970s, but what is different this time is that in the earlier case there was among most citizens an agreement about what America was, a consensus of the exceptionality of the U.S., if you will. That does not exist today. Rather, well before the China Virus and the riots, the two Americas, one red and one blue, were already locked in what has been called — fairly, I think — a “Cold Civil War.”
• Maybe if we all take a deep breath, calm down and relax, we’ll come through this. But maybe not. “Maybe” is a very big word. As we have said on THE BEST DEFENSE, self-defense is always a compromise, a balance of risk/reward. If we apply that same thinking to our current situation, we see the fallacy in “relax.” If we relax and the current crisis just fades away, everything is cool If we relax and are, in fact, wrong, we lose the country, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the vote, our guns and maybe even our lives. The teeter-totter is wildly weighted on only one end.

ReplyDeleteThat was a cool read, Rob, thanks! Had no idea what to expect but it included everything so a little something for everyone!
DeletePotty and Meade,
DeleteSittin' in a tree...
saw a post of BLM/antifa buses parked somewhere in florida....reportedly under armed guard.
ReplyDeletewonder how the left would react is these buses were spotted, and then fire bombed and burned to the ground
Depending upon where we happen to be, and and what we are facing, each of us needs to be prepared to "make your position your tomb" as the old order went. For some of these crowds, unless you've got an on-call AC-130 orbiting over you, there won't be any escape, and you'll run out of ammo long before they run out of martyr volunteers.
ReplyDeleteI need more ammo. FML
ReplyDeletewhy take the chance ? KILL EM ALL.
ReplyDeleteNo f'in joke.
It worked once, it may work again. If it doesn't I'll have to kill someone, maybe more. Read on...
ReplyDeleteI was a young soldier in West Germany. The wee hours of a Saturday morning downtown in the GI bar district, more then half drunk and making my way to McDonalds for a Big Mac and a beer. I was cornered by three other soldiers from a different unit (bad blood, long story), stated their intention to beat me to a bloody lump. I looked them in the eyes and said, "Ahight, there's three of you and one of me, so I'm gonna lose. But I swear to you, the first one of you I get my hands on dies. If it's still worth it now that you know that, let's dance." They postured and talked shit a little maore, until other people came along and they could blame not jumping me on too many people being around and left.
