I wish I knew exactly. Outrage helps. We have to start canceling the other side the way they would cancel us. It is more difficult, and risks being a dangerous purity spiral, not to mention if any even slightly illegal action is taken, the feds (or whoever you would call them across the pond) would be ready to pounce. But politicians (or the wider public culture) will never listen to one side that meekly protests with rational arguments then goes about their business while the left scream like banshees. Be outraged and indignant, but not a raving lunatic. You could inspire others. Make it plain that the left are gestapo and how you view them as pathetic, even if you don’t have the power to stop them. People admire conviction.

The problem is you may lose your job. Just don’t resign, make them fire you. Otherwise you admit guilt. But still, you are jobless. I don’t see a way out of this unless businesses either stop canceling people for having what were once normal, sane beliefs, or there are enough anti-woke businesses to form an alternate economy.

Sure, but that is not a solution. You get a VPN while the censorship is normalized over time. Then they later make vpns that aren’t used for work to be illegal. Since it will have been in law and have a few years of precedent by that time, they are simply better enforcing a law that has already been accepted by society, except for scary extremists like yourself. Better to make the stand here and now, but people will just be mildly annoyed and use a vpn until they come for that too.

It didn’t even register with me because of how pathetic the “undertaking” of hiding in our homes, decaying, while receiving checks of newly printed money is. But I suppose you’re right.

No. Or at least, very unlikely. Occam’s razor says it is simply incompetence, hubris, or the problem of expediency at work. Or a mixture of all three. Let’s say you want to oppose China’s rise. Well, what do you do? We are completely reliant on them for our standard of living. If you enact any REAL measures, the American electorate will have your head. At least, that’s what our leaders think, because leadership is so poor, but maybe they’re right. I have dreams of a genuine, unifying speech that lays it all clear. When was the last time Americans were asked to give up their quality of life for a moral cause, a massive undertaking? Knowing that you will suffer hardship as we readjust, is simply unconscionable in the modern era. Government is expected to provide gibs. We can’t rely on our neighbors or local community to chip in for the folks who lose their jobs, that’s the government’s role.

So it’s easier to go with the flow, and that is the fact that people who care about American foundations are in the minority and are getting smaller. Taking measures to combat inflation would result in more immediate pain than it is worth politically. Food lines would be seen as the government not providing enough gibs, so there needs to be more government. And if some white people “break” that will be a nice excuse to enact more authoritarian measures. If some other ethnicities “break” they will be considered brainwashed by whiteness or motivated by their suffering of systemic racism. There is no downside for them.

So “civil war”? No, they expect any resistance to be dealt with handily, in fact I believe they welcome it. And as long as white people believe that society SHOULD look beyond race, ignoring that that are the only ones who do so, they will continue to dwindle, while the instability of a multicultural society rises.
