I'll give you the answer I gave to Simon. Make of it what you will.

Thanks Simon. 

>If it isn't repeated, it will fade into the background.

Of course. And before I proceed, let me just say that I've been part of the Great Awakening since Dece 2017. I've experienced the amazing camaraderie and mutual support between patriots from ALL around the world. That mutual support and solidarity - generated within the GA, has been tangible, and critical, not to mention actually unprecedented.

The issue I have here is that a small number of Americans (it seems) who are here do NOT display that solidarity at all. Rather, they act as if they are somehow superior, better. They write comments like the above as if an Australian (or other) patriot here is the representative of the Australian normies. They put an US vs THEM in place (we enlightened Americans vs you lame and unenlightened .... Australians, for example). 

Instead of (we, awake and pushing-hard patriots (american and Aus) vs them, the asleep sheep or normies or masses of both our countries). That solidarity is what gives (gave?) the GA so much power and solidarity, NOT the former attitude. 

If the commentator had said "Australians need to stand up for themselves", he/she would only get agreement from the red-pilled ausanons here. It's fricken obvious. 

Instead, the OP comment tells who? Us red-pilled aussies to stand up for ourselves? Do you see what I mean? He's virtually saying ALL Australians, red-pilled or patriots or what, are all just sheep. I find that not only insultiung, its fricken arrogant and bi-partisan, and denies the very essence of what the GA is about. 

>Knowing that we are all working to resist this tyranny keeps us bonded.

Exactly. But the stupid comment above say YOU ARE NOT WORKING TO RESIST THIS TYRANNY, pretty much directly in the face. To any Aussies or New zealanders or whoever on this board. Because if you are working against the tyranny, why would someone need to tell you to "stand up for yourself".

Imagine if someone on the board posted - "all the Americans, including you on this board are whimps, wheezers and yellow because you let Biden & DS steal your country" 

Does that message resonate with you? Some sort of solidarity, huh? 

>So to piggyback off of your comment, what are you doing to refuse the lockdowns and stand up for yourself? Your experience could probably give others some resolve.

I could share a lot. But frankly, I'm working basically from get up to wrap up on what is happening outside my door. 

I am with patriots and freedom fighters building local networks. We have created from 2 local networks to around 80 in the last 10 weeks. We are running out local networks, holding events and contacting others every day to build those. We are producing materials and information to be dropped in each letter box, we are organizing rallies - promoting the larger ones and organize our own on the local levels. We are sharing information and Trying desperately to get the information into the hands of a population that virtually has no outside input. We are working to support each other and others who have been through 18 months plus of disruption, fear attacks, disinformation, etc. We are networking doctors who are willing to at least speak out, and supporting them. We are facilitating members of the police force who are getting sick of the crap they are asked to do, and helping them to get their story out. 

I have personally done activity on pretty much every one of these for the last - I don't  even know - 30 days? (except personally with the doctors, rather, in this case, like most I just share the info I have about that (eg the Covid Medical Network - the very SMALL equivalent perhaps of America's Frontline Doctors). 

Meanwhile, outside my door, its like Germany 1936. We are supposed to "check in" every single place we visit. Wear a mask. etc. I ignore it completely, but the pressure on our population is intense. Our suicides are so far up. Our businesses have been decimated. This week we got our SIXTH lockdown 'extended" with an added bonus - curfew between 9pm and 6am. As patriots, we are surrounded by a population that has been terrorized. The distress is palpable. My home state has had the most severe lockdown measures of ANYWHERE in the world, except perhaps Israel.

Let alone fighting and working and resisting and pushing back, and creating events, building networks - just living amidst the level of devastation takes its daily toll. Ever single day. With a very brief respite for about 3 months at summer, my whole city has been subjected to this since March last year. 

I have a new nocturnal activity. Several days ago, the so-called government ordered that ALL playgrounds in the city of 6 million be shut down, tied up with emergency tape, and off limits to everyone. (note: we have about 400 active c19 "cases" in a pop. of around 5 million - yes, this is how insane it is)

For young mothers whose last shreds of sanity rely on them being able to take their children, who have been locked away on and off from school and cannot even see other kids, who have been kept in isolation at home and subjected to seeing masks everywhere they go, for around 18 months, on being able to take them down the street to the park for a measly hour a day, how do you think they cope? 

So I duck out after dark, and I hit the local playgrounds, and I rip down all the stupid Covid safety signs, and rip away the DANGER TAPE. That's one hour. Then when I'm not checking news about the US, I'm contacting my local freedom fighter volunteers, a network of 60 that I am running - supporting, contacting, trying to mobilize. Advising to other networks who have just started up, by people who have almost no experience but who ARE standing up to try to do something for their country and their people. 

Organizing, communicating with another 70+ of such networks around the country, etc. 

Need more? 

The majority of anons and patriots here are high quality, really. But the utter obtuseness of the stupid guy's comment: "Stand up for yourselves" 

**My people are on their fricken knees** They've been hit with everything, day in and day out, except perhaps martial law. 

Don't tell US to "Resist. Stand up for yourselves". But feel free to tell asleep or wounded Aussies to stand up. Heck, tell the asleep Americans to stand up for themselves. 

But are THEY here? I haven't seen any of them. 

Standing up is one thing. Trying to lift 1000 of your fellow citizens while standing up is another thing altogether. 

So forgive me for reacting to a display of callousness and obtuseness, instead of solidarity and support. 

I cannot speak for all the AUS patriots on GAW, but I'm pretty sure most of them are doing the utter best they can with what they have. 

The original comment was stupid, and ignorant, and arrogant. 

Well intentioned? OK, maybe. But it displays a myopic understanding of what others outside of the US are dealing with. 

Forgive me if my nerves are on edge. Live for ONE month in my city, and then tell me somehow to "stand up for yourselves". 

Sigh. Enough. Our cities are attempting to have protests despite police roadblocks that will prevent us from coming together. Maybe say a prayer for us. We could use the moral solidarity. https://files.catbox.moe/m0mzts.jpeg

Meanwhile, this is what our police are doing.

Be well, patriot. Thanks for asking.
