“I’ve been reading through the comments at Vox Day’s place on this one. It’s basically a parade of ignorance, wishful thinking, hopium and dopium, stupidity, fanatacism, irrationality, and florid mental illness. I know you go to war with the army you have, but jeebus. What a train of cripples.”
– Bill Quick
It’s going to be hard, but we’ll have to be patient. They’re firmly on our side, and persistent fighters when roused. But right now, they’re hiding in a fantasy. They’re grieving over the death of the USA. For them, it just happened – most of us watched the USA burn with Obamacare, or the Branch Davidians or the Weaver family.
Patience, as hard as it is… And yes, you’re right – tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock… I’m all too aware of how late the hour grows. Those of you sharpening hatchets, loading mags and turning potted plants into range markers have the absolute right of how close Spicy-time is.
These people Bill mentions – good people, who’d agree with all of us on nearly every important political and philosophical point – are clinging to straws… because if their fairy tale turns out to be wrong, they are left with only two options:
Repudiate their values, their faith and every stated belief – bowing low and locking themselves in a slave’s chains.
Open and active resistance – making war upon our illegitimate government, with the intention of bringing it to heel. And our people, unlike ANTIFA & BLM’s useful idiots, are smart enough to understand the hideous ramifications that entails.
The people praying to God for Trump and Lin Wood and Santa Clause to save them are clinging to every last shred of hope, every desperate 4-Chan LARP. They do so because they know only too well what is required should there be no gallant caviler charging over the hills with the waning sun at his back. They dread that awful moment – and all of the horrors which will linger long after the deed is done.
Day by day, their fantasy withers, and their hope crumbles. We MUST be there when it does. We must restrain our urges to be condescending – even if we were treated as cranks and loons by these folks for not sharing their fiction. This is Revolution, not a book or a film – and we will have to win gracefully – skip the “f*ck you, I was right” dance, and be consoling, (but firm – as we’re nearly out of time).
We were right, and we know it – that will need to be enough. We need to build alliances. These people will be them, if we’re welcoming. If we can keep our egos in check – and I am as guilty of this as the next man, and I pen this not simply to others, but to remind myself as well.
Diplomacy, not division. Team-work, even if through clenched teeth. We all need each other. Even if we don’t necessarily like it… or them… or they us.
