Radical Capitalist 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 @[email protected] Thread: What can we do?
I, like most of us have been watching the worlds events in the past year, but not able to fit everything into a context that is familiar or comfortable to me. As a result, not being someone who likes to talk when I don't know what I'm talking about, I have been uncharacteristically silent on this site. Last night, I made notes for a thread and I stared at them for a long time, then hit delete. I think I can say what I want to say better if I just blurt it out.

Radical Capitalist 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 @[email protected] Follow One of the topics that has filled this site is that of devolution. My opinion on it is simple - I don't know much for sure, but I do see some awfully encouraging signs that there is more going on and more forces are aligned on our side of this battle than meet the eye. However, I can't help but conclude that this information is of no real value to me and may actually have a negative impact on many of us.

Radical Capitalist 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 @[email protected] No, I don't mean to be a "doomer" and I don't mean to say that there is nothing going on and that whatever may be going on is bad and shouldn't be discussed. What I mean is that I feel the need to look at things from the practical point of answering the question "what can I do personally".

Radical Capitalist 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 @[email protected] While it is nice to have encouraging news and to feel like there is a good chance that we will win the war that we are clearly in, the danger that I see in focusing too much on devolution is that doing so may make us feel good, but doesn't actually help us to win. So - I keep asking myself what can we do to help win?

Radical Capitalist 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 @[email protected] What I think we can do are a few very simple things that I hope we are all already doing. First, seek out valid information and communicate it far and wide beyond this site. Second, do not give an inch to the human scum trying to take away our rights - resist in any way that you can. Be that person who is not complying when it would be more comfortable to comply. Be that person who tells people what they don't want to hear. Do not comply and do not in any way sanction what they are doing!

Radical Capitalist 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 @[email protected] I am not as skeptical as some about devolution - I just believe that I don't fully understand for sure what is going on, but there is some pleasant evidence that good things are happening - Durham, the left failing miserably at everything they do, ominous legislation not getting passed, etc. There are also some very bad things happening - vaccine mandates (especially for the military and for children), supply chain nightmares, out of control inflation (if you believe 6.8, you are pretty naive).

Radical Capitalist 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 @[email protected] But regardless of the evidence, I have to ask myself how this should impact my behavior and my conclusions is that buying too much into the "good news" could be catastrophic if it leads us all to be too complacent. This is not a book we are all reading or a movie we are all watching - this is real life and we are in a real life war and we all have to be prepared to act in our own defense (and offensively), and we should not be surprised when we suffer personal losses.
Devolution?
