We have reached a crossroads in society. Where we prosecute those who act accordingly to the law and forgive those who act maliciously. There is no distinguishing difference between us today and the dark society the gulag archipelago promised. We have currently sat by while our Supreme Court shows only one justice currently acts in service of our country. The fact we have sat by and let every large city not hold their own constituents by the laws they created and in effect claim that the law they created does not apply simply because those who attack our nation apply to a certain political identity. Law no longer applies, any argument otherwise has been proven completely false in the past few years. When some tries to murder someone during the riots and is forgiven while those who went on the equivalent of a guided tour during a heated political tension is left in solitary confinement for their actions shows the targeted malicious lie of government. Our own Declaration of Independence demands a responsible government accountable to the people. To say this must be settled by blood is a crime, except if you ask the founders of our country. The reality is that the weakness of our American ancestors has led to a necessary culling. We forgot that we only exist as a nation if we maintain the ideals of our founding fathers. Our founding fathers bleed and died for us, and I am asking you today if you are willing to die for your neighbors? We no longer have the cohesion or trust in a shared identity the wars of yesterday demanded. I doubt anyone here is willing to die for their neighbor because we no longer have a shared identity. How can we pretend that we are growing as a society when by ever metric we are doing worse? We can’t even define redemption let alone agree to how to properly punish those who commit horrendous crimes. We are so weak as a nation that we stand by watching our fellow Americans die because it would be inconvenient to stand against it.

Yes, and?
These long pontific speeches always piddle out on account of one inconvenient thing:
You want something which, at the pace you want it, can only be accomplished by violence, and some of us (well, me anyway) are obliged by ideology of non-violence to oppose you on that account alone.
We've been over this before, pacifism is suicide. Violence is a very real part of human existence and to deny it is akin to surrender. Go preach defeat elsewhere.
God didn't promise you anything in this life.
No one promised anything. You have what you can take.
No, you have what you can keep. That's not quite the same.
Transgression is transgression. Period.
That’s fucking hard, dude.
That's what faith is, else it's nothing.
And what would you oppose the violent with? Harsh words?
A pacifist is a coward that hides behind the strength of others, chastising those who would fight as morally inferior to himself, ignorant of the fact that his nonviolence is only permissible because others are violent on his behalf.
I sincerely hope you never have to learn the hard way that all the harsh words and feelings of moral superiority, won't stop an antifa blackshirt, a Chinese communist, an Islamic extremist, or a feral raider as he is in the process of bashing the teeth out of your skull.
If a pen is mightier than the sword, it is only because the pen can inspire many swords.
I have no beef with muslims.
Frankly I think every mainline protestant tradcuck should GO muslim. At least then they wouldn't be hypocrites in wanting to use violence against SJWs and feminists.
Ghandi said: "It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence."
I add: "If you choose to be violent, do it in the service of a god that approves of that kind of shit."
That's nice, but what if he has a beef with you? Convert or die. Now he says go blow up the infidels? Break your principles and fight him, break your principles and blow up the infidels. Keep your principles and die on your knees having changed nothing forgotten by history as the world burns in violent conflict.
If it be god's will that they are in ascendance, then it's god's will.
Now, they've been trying for about fourteen hundred years without success. The long arc of history shows the peaceful and patient ultimately win over a long enough timespan.
Again:
I think every mainline protestant tradcuck in America who wants to sock it to the SJWs, should convert to Islam and then have at it. Go right ahead.
Your shoes.
It's a big country.
SJWs are bullies. I have three replacement teeth because of bullies.
You go where they aren't and build something better.
I can say without exaggeration that I have not used facebook or reddit in two years. At all. And I never will. I've never used twitter ever. Can you say the same?
Do I miss some stuff? Sure, I miss a lot of subreddits. I miss some facebook groups. I miss the anime convention scene. But principles are principles. They're dead to me and I'll rebuild somwhere else.
There is no where to flee to. America is the final stand, and cowards like you are backstabbing everyone.
Well now that's bullshit and you know it's bullshit.
(Looks around.)
There's no SJWs here. And there's plenty of places like where I am.
You're one of those types who thinks America ends at the city limits. You can't fathom existence without the comforts of modernity. You probably still post on reddit, hypocrite.
An intruder invades your house. What do you do? Run? Do you have a family? Do you abandon them to the intruder's whims? Where do you run to? Somewhere safe? Like a police station? No, because the safe places are only safe because of authority and the violence implicit in defying that authority. Maybe you run out into the woods. Unfortunately the violence of man is restrained and measured compared with the violence of the wild and wolves can run faster than you.
You are a coward and a fool, and if you aren't willing to exert threat of violence, then you will always be the slave of someone who will. There will always be violence enacted on your behalf or against you.
Condone violence, or condone every abuse conceivable to be brought against you.
You are facing the wall. Everyone you've ever cared about is facing the wall next to you. Remember "God didn't promise you anything in this life." and thus you justify your own death, the deaths of children, and justness of the coming dictatorship, because to resist would require violence.
You are pushed into a mass grave, and forgotten by history. But at least you went to the grave feeling morally superior to your killers.
Do you believe there is god?
So you recognize the problems but will let your principles serve as a suicide pact.
Indeed.
It's very simple.
Do you believe?
If you believe, then all this is "because god", and all that matters is your response to it.
If you don't believe, then do as you wish. My scorn is only directed at those who believe that Christ deals in affirmative defenses. He doesn't.
