Pretty Americentric line of thought considering us dirty gaters have international "membership", but this also applies to the West in general.
Call it China or the Globalists -- 'and' is probably more appropriate, but there's been a deliberate decades long attack on our educational institutions, our government, our economy, the Christian religion, our borders, Communist infiltration of key positions in government and industry, etc. etc. etc.
And it's been so effective, I just don't see a reversal of course. Even if the moderate collective pulled the wool from their eyes and took action, we're still due for an economic implosion as the debt bubble eventually pops, and we'd have to deal with the indoctrinated masses who would violently resist being jacked out of the Matrix.
Personally, by this point I'm not even thinking about saving the republic, but rather what actions will need to be taken to build something better from its ruins.
It's an unpopular opinion, maybe, but:
There are no political options remaining, now that even the vote has been corrupted beyond serviceability. The frank and shocking truth is that anyone wanting to save the republic is going to have to come face to face with "peace" officers that will be used as human shields to defend tyrants. And they are going to have be ok with shooting them in the face.
Yeah, I don't know anyone that would, either. Enjoy the decline into Dark Ages 2. Unlike the original, thanks to technology, the CCP and their puppet governors will never allow another renaissance to occur. The burning of the Library of Alexandria set back humanity quite a bit, but there will be nothing as complete as the burning and warping of our modern era's histories and philosophical writing. Look at how Alex Jones, for all effective purposes, does not exist and will have no records of his existence after all of us are dead. Replace him with anyone who opposes this new order of mass slavery and misery. The vastness of the planet will not save you when stormtroopers can be anywhere in 20 minutes notice to kill your cattle, rape your women, and burn your village to the ground.
What we have today: a middle class, class mobility based on the successes (and failures) of one's own choices, people that can own property, people that can eat food of their choosing and have recreational time to do something other than working for the nobility, is an anomaly. The truth of human life on earth is suffering and pain and subjugation to the greatest sociopaths that broken homes and child abuse can produce.
That's been the case for months now. Police will stand down for the BLM protestors who are actively calling for them to get fired, but will still go after people protesting the lockdowns. Insanity.
