I'm sure there's ways to make proper ammo at home. If crafty people can make homemade explosives using assorted chemicals, then I'm sure someone can figure out a way to make proper smokeless gunpowder at home. All it takes then is to publish the process and everyone can do it.
They couldn't ban The Anarchist's Cookbook, they won't be able to ban any processes on producing homemade powder.
That was before any schmuck could make an AK-47 out of a shovel in their garage. Like the Americans say, people shouldn't fear the government. The government should fear the people. And we have the technology to make that happen.
Whether we will make that happen is another question entirely, but we can try.
It depends. Peasant revolts have happened in the past, the nobility isn't a factor under an absolutist, bureaucratic monarchy and what the military does depends on if they're being used as a favored class to maintain power or not.
Although this was then, things would likely work very differently now. Unless you're North Korea or China, any monarchist industrialized nation is going to develop serious unrest if the ruling monarch becomes tyrannical or sells out their own country. The digital age has made it very difficult to cover up the misdeeds of a head of state.
While you're correct, the current democratic system favors the left, because it maintains a deadlock where nothing gets done and people keep infighting while the WEF and other unelected oligarchs run things behind the scenes.
For the same reason we can't expect to vote our way out of this problem, at least in the Anglosphere. The system has been captured too heavily by the oligarchs, making real change impossible.
Under an absolutist monarchy, kings rely on a certain amount of popular support to stay in power. If they fall below that level of support, they will be overthrown. The people will revolt or they'll be assassinated.
Trying to reform the system or switch from democracy to another system through peaceful means is not going to work. Like you mentioned, the institutions are completely rotten and there's a more insidious problem that the West is dealing with.
It's the importation of aliens and foreigners that has been ongoing for quite some time now.
"It is also a habit of tyrants to prefer the company of aliens to that of citizens at table and in society; citizens, they feel, are enemies, but aliens will offer no opposition. " - Aristotle
So it is, and reform becomes ever more unlikely as demographics change, for demographics are destiny. The foreigners and illegal aliens will receive handouts from the corrupt government and in turn, they will give their loyalty. For a time, until they achieve majority and most likely attempt to seize power themselves.
At this point, the only solution that could work in the West is for a revolution or coup to happen and a new regime headed by a strong leader to restore their country to its former greatness and purge the WEF-backed anti-human elements. Whether this is a monarchy or a dictatorship is immaterial, so long as someone is doing what needs to be done.
I'll admit, it's possible that the populace might actually make things worse and the wrong man could get in charge, but doing nothing will only result in the slow destruction of Western countries.
Thankfully, people do seem to be waking up on a large scale. Countries that haven't been completely subverted yet seem to be trying to resist. The Right has had victories in Italy and Sweden, two highly woke countries.
But the same approach is not going to work in countries like the UK or US, which are two party states where your choices are between a corrupt ineffectual party and one that is actively trying to accelerate your destruction.
While that's true, why not find a new king then? Someone who will actually be a wise benevolent ruler? These people exist and they can help save their own countries if placed in the right positions.
If we can't even do that, then the WEF might as well have won and there's nothing we can do about it except pray that papa Putin will launch the nukes and destroy the current world order.
Also, I'd disagree that absolute powers corrupts absolutely. I would instead argue that power doesn't corrupt, instead it reveals. It reveals what kind of person someone really is.
Society has both plenty of wannabe tyrants who lack the power to act on their dark impulses, and good people who could lead us to a better future but they lack the power as well. Give someone power, and you'll find out which group they're in.
I found it really surprising that The Guardian out of all publications published this article. They're normally extremely liberal and woke when it comes to political issues.
Honestly, I can actually agree with this take. Liberal democracies have descended into mob rule over insignificant issues while the leaders are invertebrates that are incapable of finding their own ass with both hands and all the while, a class of rich oligarchs are getting richer and directing society according to their vision.
What the West needs is strong and decisive leaders that can actually work on unfucking their own countries without having to worry about political action committees, lobbying, corrupt officials and all that crap. Even people like Ron DeSantis aren't going to be able to do what needs to be done under a democratic framework, so it would only make sense to return to monarchy or other more autocratic forms of government.
While this might seem like just another propaganda video, it's actually very interesting if you take a broader view. The video is very nationalistic and showing Russia as this country to be proud of.
Meanwhile in the West, something like this would never fly. If you made a video like this in the UK you would outright be arrested for spreading hate (because it's racist, etc) if you made a nationalistic video telling Britons to be proud of their own country and history.
The regressive left ideology is literally self-hating, hating their countries and the historical figures that helped shape them (just look at how US liberals hate the founding fathers because they were "racist"). In their eyes, their own countries are evil and always were evil, and they have to be radically changed ("decolonized") or destroyed for a brighter future.
This is quite possibly one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen, far worse than any drag queen children's story hour. It's truly peak degeneracy. At this point the West is one giant Weimar Germany on steroids and it will likely fall the same way too.
The concept of diversity/oppression olympics is not new, we've seen how it destroyed Occupy Wall Street, but you're right in that it's become a cult. Although is it really a cult?
It's so huge and powerful at this point that it's practically an organized secular religion. Which actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Secularism has only been growing more popular over the years, but a lot of people still have this spiritual need, which needed to be filled by something, whether it's celebrities, politicians or the woke religion.
I've looked that up and apparently he didn't get fined, he outright got arrested which is absolutely disgusting. The UK truly is baby China, without the communism.
Hell, real China is probably better than the UK because at least you know the rules, while in the UK the social justice rules are so vague that they can be used to punish anyone for the slightest infraction.
The regressive left wants your children and they want them bad. Even if we don't have audio recordings of leftists planning to groom children, it should be clear that something is wrong when social media sites like Reddit and Twitter are banning the term "groomer" because it's hate speech. Something sinister is clearly going on.
Agreed. These protesters have a lot to lose, while leftist protesters have nothing to lose. They risk cancellation or government persecution from opposing the regressive left.
Before you say anything, yes the UK government does persecute people. The cops will show up to investigate "non-criminal hate incidents", so if you're naughty they'll show up at your door to harass you even if you didn't commit a crime.
When you think about it, this is really just an opposition to normality. The alphabet movement was always based on supporting behaviors that mainstream society considered to be taboo.
Gays were legalized, their marriage was allowed, eventually they even got normalized. The alphabet people used to get a thrill from being gay while it was taboo, but now that's no longer the case they're switching to other behaviors that are taboo. At least, that's one explanation that I can think of.
I still don't understand how there's people who unironically believe that drag queen children's story hours are actually a good thing. Anyone with a working brain should be able to realize that this is degeneracy, but no. There's a lot of people that believe this, and they have powerful backers. I guess the regressive left ideology really does turn you into an NPC.
Straights might be the only ones reproducing, but you forget that the alphabet people have a replacement for reproduction: conversion. They will do anything in their power to convert others to their own movement. Why do you think there's so many scandals about wokist indoctrination in schools?
While what you're saying is true, keep in mind that there's an underlying ideology and things can change very easily. If enough people used these new sexual orientations to be straight but not on paper, then they'd likely crack down on them. The wokists do engage in purity spirals fairly often, so some options may not be safe forever.
The name idea is actually pretty brilliant. And it's something that can easily be done in some countries. I don't know what it's like in the US, but in the UK you can get these documents called deed polls really easily which allow you to legally change your name arbitrarily. This strategy will probably become a lot more common in countries like the UK where it's easy to change your name.
Also, wow. That's an interesting anecdote, the sheer shamelessness on display is astounding. Alphabet people and minorities truly are more privileged than the actual natives that built their own country.
Highly unsurprising. Honestly, after a certain point I can't even blame people. Wokist indoctrination/grooming is a problem, but "diverse" people are so privileged, that it's basically become the new meta in the West.
If you're a straight white man, the wokists will hate you for existing. But if you identify as a transwoman (even if you don't do anything else) and claim native ancestry, you'll get plenty of diversity hire positions, scholarships and more.
This is already happening, by the way. Here's an article on how more than a third of white students lie about their race when applying for college in America: https://archive.ph/tHIzV
It's actually genius, because what are they going to do to fix this problem? They can't ask people to go through an ancestry test or anything like that to find out the truth, because that would be racist.
I don't think straight will even be an option in a future dominated by the alphabet community to this extent. Remember, the wokists seem to hate normality with a passion and celebrate anything that is "diverse", even if it's something that's incredibly self-destructive.
Just look at trans people or the fat acceptance movement.
Found this today, and honestly I can believe it, although it won't happen anytime soon.
You just need to look at the numbers. Alphabet people demographics have been massively increasing over the last 20 years. It doesn't make sense for it to be a natural increase. I find it especially amusing because it conflicts with leftist claims that being gay is not a choice, but caused by your genetics or brain structure.
The truth is that there is an overarching alphabet ideology, and it's spreading throughout society. A social contagion, if you will. And the leftists have to understand this on some level, which is why there have been so many scandals recently about leftist indoctrination in schools and accusations of grooming.
The alphabet community might not reproduce, but it is steadily increasing its numbers by converting people. The mentally ill, the gullible, the purposeless and those too young to understand the world are especially vulnerable to their ideology.
So ultimately, I do think Marjorie is right here. The leftists aim to create alphabet paradises with no non-LGBT or white people allowed, but their ideology is incompatible with civilized society or even reality itself (see: the trans lack of understanding of biology).
If they have their way, the resulting alphabet nations will swiftly collapse, and reality will brutally reassert itself. It will result in a future straight out of Mad Max, and it's highly unlikely that they'll survive it.
I suppose that's just going to be one of the things that people will have to risk if they want to fight for their own freedom. Or someone needs to write up an idiot-proof instruction manual that tells you how to make ammo without suffering an unfortunate accident.
