I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm impressed with the insurrectionists in Minneapolis. The more I see of their determination, organization and tactics, the more I'm hopeful for humanity. Weird, I know.
I'm seeing a bunch of people desperately looking for some purpose in life that is bigger than themselves. Imagine if you took away all the DS brainwashing and replaced it with encouragement to do something positive for America. And the world. I think these people genuinely believe that they are on the right side.
When I look past the politics of the rioters, I see nothing but potential. I'd love to feel that level of selflessness and exuberance if things were different. Strip away all the corruption, greed and oppression in the world and I think a lot of people will happily get busy building something wonderful instead of tearing things down.
Of course, all of what I said assumes that the insurrectionists aren't all being paid to do it.
I agree. They were brainwashed and manipulated. I'm just pointing out the capacity for humans to get behind something they believe in and how that bodes well for us if we ever get things straightened out.
In the grand scheme of things, yes, I agree. Human capacity is much larger than we are allowed. We have been repressed but that is a whole other conversation.
I would argue that these people aren't fighting because they are behind something they believe in. Maybe a few are, and maybe some started out that way, but we don't get the point we are at because a group of people have good intentions.
