You're completely correct.

Their actions continue only by the will of their masters; emboldened by a system that does not punish their tantrums but rather encourages them, literal children.

In the event they ever receive real pushback, they will not respond with greater force, but by crumpling and breaking down.

They make for fairweather enemies, however while good men stand by doing nothing they continue to propagate destruction.

Here's my totally not based on any reality but a decent understanding of human nature prediction:

There's too many cooks in the broth for globohomo to propagate the way they want it too; too many Type As who want to hoard all the wealth; too much greed, essentially.

They don't want to share amongst their peers; combine with the ongoing purity spiral and there will inevitably be in-fighting at the highest echelons of "society". In-fighting at the level of wealth and control these fiends have equates to global war.

Global war, provided it doesn't lead to nuclear extinction, will weaken everyone.

A status where many of the elite will suffer their own reset as their assets become ash, provided they're not dead.

Also, take this into account: socialist economies always, always collapse, even if the period is measured in decades. China would have collapsed ages ago if they hadn't have opened up and adopted a capitalist structure to their economy; they only really retained the totalitarian aspects of socialism.

$10 it stars The Rock or Ryan Reynolds.

Probably both.

"Saints Row movie will take inspiration from The Warriors and Escape from New York"

Yeah, those are good movies; great movies, IMO, but also somewhat dour. Saints Row is goofy over-the-top fun, and "[taking] inspiration" from two properties literally its 180 is a weird take.

At what point will people stop listening to their dire emergencies?

When the aggregate loses their comfort against the goals of the elite. It's that simple. Comfort is probably the sole thing I can think of that's keeping people docile among all the shit that's happening.

The moment Bob and Karen can't drive their own gas guzzlers, have to turn off their AC, can't buy meat (oh, woe to them who takes away beef)... that's when the shit will hit the fan.

1. I'm in one of a small handful of places that seem to be actively countering the coof narrative. It's not 100% "free", but no government mandated lockdowns and a government-level rejection of a vaccine passport.

2. “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

Option 2 is accelerationism -- we want accelerationism, because direct action will spurn counter-action.

It'll force people to submit to brutality, or fervently oppose it, rather than a slow death of 1000 cuts and a gradual breaking of wills, as the establishment really wants.

Nobody seems to be smart enough to understand that if you take someone back after a betrayal, you are just going to get betrayed all the time.

Which is why you don't trust a traitor either. Let them betray their side for yours; reward them with death or imprisonment.

Washington D.C

The juxtaposition of fenced off government buildings and paper tiger National Guard against the smouldering remains of the commercial district will be the descriptive image of 2021 in totality.

Also reminder that they literally demonized the hell out of hydroxychloroquine just to justify initiating the EUA for the rush-job vaccines.

You already bent the knee once...

And Impossible1 shits his pants.

I'm seeing some based behavior coming out of Leafistan as of late.

Is Premier Blackface pushing even the humble leaf to oppose authority?

The time to take away armaments in the US never presented itself, and now is definitely not the time to do so. The Left's constant attempts to create division and tear down the institutions have caused people to fear, as planned. However, because armaments are readily available, rather than break down the people and make them ripe for takeover it's presented those people the ability to weather those fears by arming up.

The reason that personal defense and ownership of firearms never really took hold in greater Europe and other places is because an undercurrent of authoritarianism was always the norm. The people in these lands lived under monarchies and theocracies for centuries, perpetual serfs; asses up, cheeks spread for the ones in charge is ingrained in their cultures.

TFW that comic you linked to has the jackass and the elephant mixed up.

So he's gonna kill hundreds to thousands of American jobs and millions of dollars of commerce from an American industry (again) by going after 80% kits and pistol braces.

That'll probably have the secondary effect of making literally hundreds of thousands of Americans into de facto criminals; and will result in very little confiscation or turn in, because honestly they don't have the manpower to go after every one of the literally millions of 80% kits that are in people's hands.

And put out what are effectively nothing but guidelines on how to establish laws that circumvent people's 4th Amendment protections because they make other people uncomfortable.

He's also gonna recommend a known stepper to head honcho of the ATF.

President mumbles strikes again.

Also think about all the wealth that was further consolidated into the hands of a select few.

I don't like to punish economic success, but few Billionaires reach their level of wealth without at least some degree of government cronyism.

And more than a few of those same people are pushing for mandates of misery on the general populace, and are doing worrying things with their wealth, like buying up prime farm land.

GaMeRgAtE!!!! *diarrhea intensifies*

Man seeks answers and comfort when times become tough.

Some at the bottom of a bottle or the end of a needle, but others through religion.

We will experience a resurgence in the church as secularism proves to provide only debauchery and destruction.

I can't say it's the right answer, however don't be surprised if you see a more emboldened class of worshipers -- a more emboldened clergy -- that runs counter to the establishment as the later clamps down harder.

I might even have to join a good church, if only to shout out authoritarians who dare to challenge their worship.

TBF, I don't think you're going to find anyone who writes about evil megacorps in fiction yet still extols the virtues of capitalism within that same work.

Obviously, it's cronyism leading to corporations adopting a de facto government model that would be to blame, but people's heads don't fire on all cylinders when they're passionate about their feelings.

China is one major conflict away from losing their insularity, and opening themselves up to the same globalist disease that's infected so much of the rest of the world.

We're already beginning to see the symptoms of third wave feminism pop up like the beginnings of a pandemic across the entirety of Asia; how appropriate.

I also have a feeling that the rapid exchange of information that we've experienced since the.... oh.... late 80's onward across the globe as a result of increased computer use and the internet, means that social shifts are happening at a rapidly increased pace; human-based regimes will be unable to keep up.

Some call it "approaching the singularity", but if any one country -- superpower or not -- is going to hold dominion over the world they're going to need to effectively blow everyone but themselves back to the stone age; maybe even themselves, TBH.

Woah, furboy avatar alert!

Thanks, though, I'm listening to it now.

Counter-point: your health and safety is not my responsibility, and shouldn't be a burden of the greater population.

If you want to wall yourself off from danger for the rest of your life, go nuts!

But if you want to interact with society, accept that danger is inherent, and there's no guarantee you'll live to see tomorrow.

The vast majority of postmodernists are actually marxists and pedophiles who see the destruction of the west as the quickest path to communism and fucking kids.

And once the West is destroyed, they'll get their wish -- for at most 20 years. Then the authoritarians who used them as tools to enact their new regime will have finished executing the most egregious offenders, gulaged the rest, and outlawed their degeneracy.

Not that they pay attention, but Stalin did criminalize Homosexuality and Transgenderism in the Soviet Union; the Bolsheviks just decriminalized it first.

I see absolutely no reason to intentionally allow the Communists to consolidate their victories by isolating ourselves and allowing them to expand. Just stop co-operating. Stop conceding. Stop giving in, and push back slightly in the opposite direction. They will scream to high heaven, and will not actually be able to resist you. Then they will respond not only with violence, but extreme and disproportionate violence. That will be an excellent catalyst for the rest of their collapse.

And yet you still comply.

That's the reason why the idea of seccession is so attractive; it may not be the best decision, however the idea of completely separating ourselves from the powers that be rather than have to face them head on in their arena is an understandable one.

It won't work, however to give credence to your own ideas the proposition of secession is in of itself a form of resistance that will breed a disproportionate response from the establishment. An earnest call to secession is accelerationism at its finest.

Razorfist has said multiple times -- and I'm paraphrasing a bit -- that the moment that the people's voice is formally silenced, when the perception that their vote matters is cast away, is the moment more extreme measures to be heard will be enacted.

January 6th was a preliminary on that, and the system is cracking down hard to try and dissuade any future uprisings of the same vein. However, it will happen again, particularly with the way things are going.

However, we will also see more earnest attempts to try and peacefully break away from the increasingly-despotic Federal government, via calls to secession and the like.

These efforts will be met with violence and subterfuge by the establishment.

Unfortunately, I feel violence against the establishment is an inevitability.
