I have been wondering how to deal with the problem that persists where a local community finally reacts to the poor treatment and indignation caused by actions of the central State. Southport, Epping, there are probably others. The central state reacts to the reaction by abusing the community further with “counter protesters” bussed in from elsewhere, escorted by the police into a conflict zone, thus raising tensions and causing a breakdown of the organic reaction.
This had me thinking what would the left do under similar circumstances, should the tables be turned?
It is easy to point out problems but much more difficult to point out solutions. However, the left has generously provided a skeletal structure upon which a solution might be built.
(1) The Personal is the Political
This is true, as much as we may want to deny it. Wanting to be left alone is a weak position, a tearful cry for mercy. The enemy laughs at that and is encouraged by it. You can only meet strength with strength (and perhaps cunning).
(2) The Political is Personal
If X is Y, then logically Y is X. But what can be done by this?
It would not be too difficult in this day and age to save information. Large data drives exist and anonymous Google sheets could be created and curated by interested parties, perhaps at an advantageous overseas location outside of the grasp of state authorities. By this I mean that all authorities exist as human beings, humans with loved ones, with loving homes filled with their prized possessions and families. They have names, aforementioned addresses, friends, and they shop at your local stores.
They are indeed members of your community, so why do they do such wanton damage to it and enforce such action? Is that not treachery?
Do traitors get left alone by anyone? Or are they confronted and shamed, accused and blamed? What if these authorities were documented and named so it was no longer anonymous police officers and bureaucrats making decisions? They could just be observed, recorded, and their information uploaded to publicly accessible websites. This could be printed onto paper at anonymous homes, and as fliers, distributed to the public. Should a person who actively engages in the destruction of your country just be able to get away with it because they have a badge? I don’t think that is just, moral, nor right. It’s evil.
The solution is actually quite simple, funny enough.
Should it be done immediately? I don’t know, but the current paradigm is definitely not conducive to the peaceful enjoyment of one’s life and property.
But how easy would it be to do.
I listened to the 2A types for YEARS, but don't own a gun because I live in a Blue City (and black and brown, obviously.)
Antifa is making those people look like absolute chumps, and I'll never entertain the 2A talking points anymore. For all the bluster they never did anything, but the Nation looks like it lost a war. And worse is coming. Zero fight, just a bunch of online anger about frumpy hermaphrodites in libraries. Which I get, but you know.
Sports, property, blah blah. Must be nice living in a small quaint town while the majority of the population gets swallowed. At least the Boomers have properties with value.
Interesting thoughts Mr Swan.
