I’ve seen the statement in the title making the rounds lately. People need to think about this more clearly. First off, technology has made us weak. As a people we are much different than those who were living in 1861. Our every need is a car ride away but we don't even need to do that. That which we desire is brought right to our door via apps on our phones. Our lives continue to get easier and that
I don't feel like going to war over the kayfabe, blustering politician who got us into this whole Covid debacle in the first place. However, many good people have been unlawfully searched and seized over the years and I don't suspect we will see less of this in the coming days. I do not have any delusion that the kids in school getting a collectivist ideology are going to be more sympathetic to me or my homeschooled children because I'm down with people. I'm nothing like them and even if I was, saying I let gay people in my church or whatever never kept zombies from eating their own. They can smell the brains in you that they don't have so I am not fooling anyone. Finding tribe and growing tribe through mutual values and vision regardless of how they use the state for personal protection currently or not is my primary goal. But if we are looking for allies in the antistate sentiment, the right is a much more primed and receptive audience whereas the left... has all the religious zealotry, fervor and pageantry of the largest cults ever known. They don't drink the kool aid, they gulp in it, while bathing in it and snorting it in both nostrils at once. The only solace I have regarding future wars is that in so doing, many of those who would be my enemies are coming down with SADS and "unknown causes" as JP Sears so adequately put it. It's the no. 1 cause of death today in Alberta, Canada.
Every day seems to bring a fresh outrage that one would think would be a precursor to violence. I think we’ve all seen stories that make us wonder why certain people haven’t been put up against the wall yet.
I don’t want violence, but I do wonder sometimes if it might be necessary to our human nature and the sacrificial violence that we crave.
I sometimes think the people saying that we’re not as divided as 1861 are engaging in wishful thinking. We’re divided all but physically and our personal comfort, I think, I’d the only thing holding us back from the brink.
