The More Americans Decide The System Is Rigged, The More They Will Silently Rebel

Conservatives may be coming around to the view of the Dead Kennedys, the left-wing punk rockers who sang that “the law don’t mean s–t if you’ve got the right friends, that’s how this country’s run.” Their caustic rewrite of “I Fought the Law” was inspired by the assassin Dan White getting off easy, but the broad alienation from American institutions is surprisingly resonant with right-wing Americans today — for good reason.

Riots and political violence are treated very differently depending on who commits them. For instance, the Biden administration is allowing the illegal intimidation of Supreme Court justices, including threats against their families, even after an armed assassin came to Justice Kavanaugh’s home. Likewise, the terror campaign against pro-life pregnancy centers is largely being ignored, and the official who should be investigating is on record as hating them. Of course, the perpetrators of the Capitol riot are being pursued and prosecuted much more aggressively than those who participated in the 2020 summer riots, which were much more destructive and attacked the government.

    Another 80's band that had a song fitting for today - The Dead Milkmen:
    "Mom and dad don't like me, they say I'm mean and crude.
    They try to make me a good little boy by putting downers in my food....
    F*cked up world. We're all parents of a f*cked up world.
    F*cked up world. We're all parents of a f*cked up world."

    Wow. Apparently I have been existing as an "Irish Democrat" for many years without even being aware.

    I view myself as one block of C-4 in a carton of C-4, sitting next to the box of blasting caps and the detonator. Put me all together and punch the button and you get violence and death. Otherwise I just sit quietly harming no one.

    That is why there is going to be a backlash of epic proportion.

    An excellent read, far beyond the clichéd "every concerned American should read this."

    I've always said that the major difference between the left and the right is that conservatives still believe in the system. It is interesting trying to read the tea leaves when the right no longer believes. We are in for interesting times.

    Tyranny is the unequal application of law.

    The End.
