I can see your point, but I do still feel like we are all much too small fish to be concerned about being led off into the windowless train car anytime soon.
I think they take a more aggressive approach to demoralization to those of us who haven't drank the commie kool-aid. Censorship ramped up to extreme levels. Public eye leaders (the big fish) being made an example of as a scare tactic.
So I'm taking measures to resist that. If I'm totally wrong then I've pretty much decided the day they send enough force to put me in the boxcar is the day I meet my maker.
The mental gymnastics I have to go through to get to where they obtain and track down 10s to 100s of thousands of people via IP address for posting on a website so they can hand out mass terrorism charges is just further than I can stretch. Shutdown and sudden disappearance of the people who operate the site and made it happen? That I can get my head around.
Call me naive, crazy, or whatever, but I can't get that far down the conspiracy road. I do agree with the other response, it will be sudden and I hope I see it coming, but I can't convince myself it's here today.
They don’t have enough manpower to enforced tax collection if the collective populace, or hell even just 5-10% of the most steady payers, decided to grow a pair tomorrow and stop paying their taxes.
Record shows that only 3.5% of a country’s given population is necessary to incite a revolutionary change.
We are a country of 350 million and we are finding ourselves lorded over by hundreds, who depend on thousands to enforce their will.
They do not need to nor can they issue lhundreds of thousands, even tens of thousands, of charges. Thinking they have that much overreach is pure paranoia, and it’s exactly the way they like it.
I am seeing small pockets of awakening the past few days. Some leftists just realized that banning the sitting President was a bad idea. Like rabid anti-Trump TDS leftists. Snowden understands it as well.
I think the elite has overstepped their bounds. They played their hand too quickly.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?
Furthering the analogy, if we are classified as steers, then we are likely the last "free range" ones. With the great reset, pod living, owning nothing, etc. It'll be those cage farms where they keep chickens, pump them full of hormones, and feed them garbage.
Pretty solid analogy. I agree and it's why I always tell people that noncompliance isn't good enough. We can all keep our AR's if they're banned, not future generations won't even have the ability to not comply.
He really should have done it and done it earlier. They were never going to let him win, have a day in court, have good optics, and they sure as shit will go after him and his family now. He had a window of opportunity (potentially, with pence's betrayal he might have just been killed when invoking the act...) and it is now long gone.
The steers do have an idea of what's going on, they just concoct comfortable myths for to deal with things they feel they cannot control/must not try to change.
Nah, I already knew this was going to happen, I just didn't know how exactly. I already had that sentience when the elections happened, this was just a realization of it.

Us "small fish" are outnumbered by enemies the government imported to rob and rape us.
Domestic terrorism charge for posting on a dot win website where thedonald is located, where Donny himself supposedly incited terrorism.

There is an old Weird Science story about that very thing. I know what you mean.
Steers don't have guns to protect themselves.
I'm not saying that to sound like some sort of a badass. The point is that it is future generations who will be led to the slaughterhouse, not ours.

Feels like revenge of the sith to me. If only Trump had delivered the killing blow (Cross the rubicon)

I feel like a steer who gained sapience 6 years ago, but yeah.
