The entire Constitution was written as a WARNING against the government, to constrain and restrain it in every conceivable way, because it is not, and never will be your friend.
This quote comes from Sophia (Sophie) Scholl. After she and her brother Hans were members of the Hitler Youth in the 1930’s, they joined the violent resistance group called the White Rose, and were both executed by the Nazis after being convicted of high treason for distributing leaflets at the University of Munich.
Quote:
"The real damage is done by those millions who want to “survive.” The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves-or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honor, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn."
We need a nation wide strike to cripple the government. Protests will do nothing but get people arrested, a strike will be more effective and there will be no targets for the government goons and the police to attack.
Trucker rallies have never accomplished anything, they should just park their rigs, that would be more effective.
I truly wish people would wake to the fact that it is A UNIPARTY!!!
You will get varying degrees of the same totalitarian, scamdemic BS from both sides.
Stop waiting on that savior "that's coming in the next election cycle or conservative candidate".
You and those disinterested sheeple around you, hold the key to turning this thing around (in decades...not election cycles). The trick will be getting people to give up the Comfort, Convenience and Entertainment, in order to put the train back on the tracks.
I think the only answer for me, and some, is to “drop out of society”. My father always said that when he was alive. Now I really understand what he meant by that: Be in the world, but not of it.
Agree, have been thinking the same for the past few years.
I always ask, why humans can't learn the lessons of our predecessors. We are doomed to walk the same walk and make the same mistakes, as they did...until we reach the point you, I and many others have..."I finally understand what they were trying to tell me".
Yes! And for me, it’s taken nearly 59 years to REALLY get it. I’ve always been pretty aware, God loving…awake! And I’m thankful for that (I think). But, with that, comes “problems” of its’ own. Like, “Now what?!” It sounds like you get “IT”. I definitely understand my dad more, and he’s been dead 18 years. Sometimes I feel closer to him in death, than when he was alive!
50's generally seems to be the decade, where people "get it", if they do at all.
The "now what" is a double edged uncomfortable sword, that I've ranted about in comments and on my stack. The short version is history will repeat itself in our time, as it always does. We will be like those of old, who "got it" and either fought and perished, complied and became the fertile base for the next repeating episode of history or those who straddled the line and found ways to exist, but not comply...that would be the camp I see myself in.
The uncomfortable part for most is, that this has and will happen again. Hundreds of millions of people, who lived through these same problems/issues for thousands of years before we took a breathe..."didn't get IT back". Their ocieties fell, changed, were subverted, enslaved, etc. They were every bit as intelligent, capable, savvy, lazy, obtuse, ignorant and stupid as we are today...but were unable to turn the tides...and so here we are again.
This keeps replaying, not because of the evil opportunists out there, but because of us...the ones that allow them to remain in seats of power, influence and wealth, by patronage, apathy, attention or lack of action. This seems to be baked into our collective cake, as it were.
Something else I recently "got" in the last year...which pertains to the above rant...was what Edward Bernays said in the opening of his book "Propaganda". It initially struck me as pompous, elitist arrogance, but what has become obvious is he understood humans in organized societies, better than I was giving him credit for. While I still balk at the idea, it's clear that humans, on the whole, have repeatedly accepted this model and in doing so live, through the same problems century after century.
" The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who
manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society."
Cross posted - never forget that there was woman (Democrat) who posted a comparable meme and no indictments were issued.
Agree, and thank you for writing this so I didn’t have to. Spreading this across all my social media, like https://twitter.com/doccontrarian/status/1641923652856823810?s=46&t=Lc2EZlMEXlWLpVSTrK_Y8Q
Oops!

That’s why the Left hates the Constitution.

Surely you jest! There are still sheeple wearing MASKS alone!
The next conservative president absolutely must clean out the DOJ and FBI without an iota of hesitation.
“The next conservative president...”...lmfao!!!!
Seconded...🤣🤣🤣

Stolen elections have consequences for the society that does nothing about them.
Ok, LMFAO, i should have said, "comparatively conservative". There.
