In the macro, society is not improving. Anyone saying that is using micro examples. As an example, many people are waking up to the fact that the press isn’t just biased, but has an agenda. But that doesn’t give people a way to mitigate journalist’s damaging influence. You need a plan.
Speaking of “plans,” anyone with two braincells should’ve known from the start the whole “Q” movement was absolute horseshit. Seriously, did you really believe there was someone, or a group of someones, coming to save you from vampire-pedophiles who rule the world? How naive do you have to be? And if you fell for it once, odds are you’ll fall for it again. Get that shit out of your head! Batman isn’t coming to save the day. You are your own superhero.
First, it was social distancing. Then masks. Then a voluntary “vaccine.” Then vaccine passports. Mandatory vaccinations are now waiting in the wings. What’s your plan? Getting remote and not complying? There’s no evidence the Branch Davidians or the Weavers were thumbing their noses at the “authorities,” but they were attacked and taken out anyway. They were mostly targeted by bored government agents looking for a “win.” The COVID-tyranny may be something other than what it seems, but it appears to me to be a naked power-grab which means there is a hint of ideology behind it. And nothing is more dangerous than zealots consumed by ideology. ‘What must be done’ then?
At this moment, it appears to me the only way through is to seize the reigns of power at the local level. It’s unfortunate that a defensive posture has to come through the State but we must not live in Ancapistan in our heads. We are in fact living in the real world which contains real order followers, with real guns, and perceived legitimacy in the eyes of the overwhelming majority. To ignore this is to appear as one living in fantasyland to not only myself, but to a growing number of people. I am working hard to further expand the numbers of those who can think beyond their favorite anarchist book. People consumed with an ideology (anarchy) that can’t work without great change are the enemy as much as any government agent.
Luckily, we have a blueprint for local political action in Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s “What Must Be Done.” Also available here in audio (especially the last 20 minutes). A lot of people want Ancapistan or something close to it. What is their step-by-step plan to get there? Ask them. Ask yourself. I bet if you have any ideas at all they are vague or scattered. Hans lays it out here. This is the blueprint Michael Boldin and the 10th Amendment Center have been working off of since they started. But it requires local action by groups of determined people. Boldin and his organization can’t do it for us. They can help, but we must do the leg-work.
We - and I am most definitely including myself in this - need to go beyond shit-posting on social media and spamming people with memes. They help communicate a message but do nothing to organize a movement. And that’s what this thing has been called, right? The Liberty Movement? That implies a plan. Hans has laid out a plan whose time has come. If you take into consideration a series of events that have taken place over the last 5-6 years, the opportunity is clear. What better time than now? Must it come to regular people waging war on State agents going door-to-door to force vaccinate those of us who actually believe “my body, my choice.” I think there’s a better way. I think Hans is correct.
Joining the Freedom Cell Network was the biggest white pill I've swallowed in a while. My state has the most networks and there are 5 unofficial ones within 45 minutes of me. Join a freedom cell. Turn them on to the right podcasts (especially FMBTW and Spirko) and start passing out copies of Alinsky and Hoppe. Also, school boards are ripe for takeover. Talk to largest businesses in town and ask if they need welders, truckers, etc and make the school board set up a destination trade school. Take the kids that can be saved out of those poison factories.
110% agreed Pete! It’s time to put a plan into action, things got really real for me recently with my job openly contemplating forced vaccinations for its employees. This has made me approach my own beliefs and I will stand by my principles and quit should they do it BUT that won’t be the end of it, more must be done to stop this crap from happening. I’m going to read this book tonight and see what the mises caucus has going on in Georgia so I can start pushing back myself
