I know some of you degenerates still believe that civil rights can be obtained through civil disobedience. This is a lie of optics you have been sold. Let’s start with women’s suffrage, women were given the right to vote with no responsibilities attached not because it was humanitarian, but because this was the birth time of consumerism and propagandists like Bernaise knew that women controlled purchasing power even then. This was an action taken by government to empower government. Next we have the civil rights act, which was entirely about equal rights of course! Except it wasnt, much like today’s “civil rights” it was about decreasing the power and wealth of the middle class. This is why we got “the great new society” that stripped wealth from citizens to fund government programs. At the exact same time we also got the Hart-Cellar act to divide the American populace and destroy western culture. Next we have second wave feminism which had one purpose, mass influx of the workforce and the 2 income household. This was done to mimic the soviets who found great success in letting women be uninhibited because it destroyed family ties and even had mother’s view their children as objects. There has never been an actual act of mass civil disobedience in America that led to a more United and free populace, it has always been “rights” in exchange for power and loss of control of oneself. Everyone already knows what the real answer to a corrupt government is, just as our founding fathers did, the difference is our weak populace would rather be sheep than wolves.

All historical popular uprisings were driven by elites.
Generally a different class of elites, such as a rising merchant class overthrowing the landowners, or landowners overthrowing royalty, but elites all the same.

This. Once you realize that important historical events were driven by the wants and/or needs of the elite, history makes a lot more sense.
Medieval peasant uprisings too?
Spartacus revolt in Rome?
Tambov Rebellion?
I could go on and on with that.
Well maybe just since the French Revolution.
I already said Tambov.
All successful historic popular uprisings were driven by elites.
Yeah introducing women into the work force was such a grift. It was like illegal immigration is now just fucking hyper-charged. Nearly doubling the work force.
Wages go down while the government basically gets to tax each household twice as much.
This was the intent of “temporary” income taxes that popped up conveniently next to women’s suffrages
There is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.
I recently just saw this image of US tax revenue which shows that well.
It would be even more impactful if it was on a scale of inflation-adjusted dollars, so you get to appreciate the ludicrous rise in the amount being stolen each year.
Wages go down, fewer jobs but somehow more work. Wonder why that is?
Well, I'm not against building society up further through work, but yeah.
Globalism.
Civil disobedience only works if your enemy cares that you're human beings.
Civil disobedience in the last 100 years is a lie, for sure. The actions that founded the US, however, was a pretty successful act of civil disobedience. Which is why the globalists hate the constitution and the people who wrote it so much.
I feel personally attacked.
That being said, I don't think you quite understand my point. I'm not saying that Civil Disobedience as a form of protest. I'm saying the open defiance of things that are called "law" when they are nothing more than bureaucratic fiat.
The point is to disobey.
I was speaking in the broader rah rah of civil rights. The same is seen with right populism and republicans. The tea party was co-opted, the 99% movement was co-opted, every “grassroots” movement. Ruby Ridge is a prime example of what happens to actual civil disobedience.
No one obeyed those directional arrows in the aisles to promote social distancing, and now they're gone.
I've made a post about Civil Disobedience and right-wingers. I like to quote it when there is a relevant discussion going on.
Civil disobedience works just fine. Grind shit to a halt and watch the elites writhe in anger. Personally, I think Covid was partly a distraction from the fact that the global population wasn't taking their shit anymore. Yellow vests, Hong Kong, Brexit, etc. Now that the plandemic has gone off rails it's flaring up again worse than ever, starting with Europe and Cuba.
Historically, major societial change has followed only 3.5% of the population protesting on the streets. They gather much wider support and public attention which is impossible to ignore.
There's always a first for everything, then. Though i guess if you guys want to degenerate into a new peasant class, good luck.
