Resort to violence, and you will be eliminated with nary a ripple. Your last act of violent defiance, heroic though it might be in principle, will be snuffed out without a trace, without it making the least impact on the enemy, nor on the sprit of resistance. I wish it weren't that way, but the monopoly on power amassed by the state is unassailable, and besides the maximisation of profits for the contractors, lobbyists, and the politicians that patronise the defense sector, that was also the main purpose of the eye-watering dimensions of the "defense" budgets all along.

Seriously, we need a "seated" revolution a-la Mahatma Gandhi. Withdraw your consent, starve the beast: work LESS to pay less taxes, or pay none at all (since taxes are nothing more than a means of control of the people by valving the money supply, and they are certainly not used to fund any genuine services we assent to, let alone need), curb your spending on all but the necessities, determine to use alternative currency and payment methods, your own time and labour being the most fundamental and honest currency imaginable, LOWER your standard of living while working towards a HIGHER quality of life, NEVER EVER VOTE AGAIN and never pay any attention whatsoever to that criminal syndicate that calls itself "government" (they will soon notice, they will even put up a fight and may even kick some or many of our heads in, but starved of our energy and the vitality they've derived from our attention, obedience, and cooperation they'll eventually dwindle, wither, die, and the dust that remains will not even require burying as the wind will duly scatter it all until not a trace will remain), work at building strong communities, swap goods and services with your community, grow some of your own food, trade some of your elderberry wine for your neighbours' kohlrabi, give the folks down the road a hand building their pergola, planting their crops, teaching their children. We don't need government services as long as we have each other. We don't need government - at all! We need to realise that governance - not government - is OUR responsibility! And the fact is, we don't even need that much of it to make our lives work, fully, meaningfully, and healthily.

And you should start by destroying - not just ditching - your damn i/smartPhone, and never again interface with Big-Tech platforms and products, and in that way forever banish the treachery they commit every moment of every day. And then realise that we don't even need computers - at all!

I pay no taxes. Remember the Silent Majority? We've become MAGA. There will be no more Ruby Ridges, Wacos, Las Vegas, Pulse nightclub, Sandy Hook, 9/11s. now if they want anything else they'll have to \fight for it sand so far they've been losing. MSM won't tell you that EVER.

Thanks, I'm just myself with no pretenses. I don't remember my comment or I'd go into it for you.

THIS!

The 'American' way of thinking and acting. ( in reverence of the founders in 1776).

Push back! ( like they did back then) It's not an 'option'; its a requirement!

"The 'American' way of thinking and acting."

I humbly thank you, you do me a great honour. I am not American, at least not in any damned counterfeit government-issued, ID-verifying hogwash way, but I visited the land once, was warmly welcomed and hosted, and felt at home and among my people. So I guess I really, genuinely am American, after all!

A hearty thank you again, my friend.

An ID doesn't make you American, millions have them and they are from every foreign country. If you think American in your heart as corny as that sounds you are American. I just sent for a copy of my birth certificate, did I get my ID? Why?
