If Charlottesville was someone’s breaking point then quit, quit forever and for your own sake and survival never say or write a word again. You have no politics because you have no power, including over your own fate.
The one neat trick you can pull is to hide and hope they come for others. You have no agency or power because you will not pay its price, indeed you’re finished if someone makes you look bad.
Thats a Junior High Girl, but if that’s you to thine own self be true.
All the same with Jan 6, for and against. If 1 bullet ends it , end it all now while you are still relatively safe. If the bad optics or the lack of immediate gratification ala no instant and painless revolution-above all a safe one eh- if anything put you off about Jan 6 QUIT.
The Left did a thousand Charlottesville’s with dozens of corpses in 2020. No regrets.
No remorse.
The Left is serious. They’ll kill you, they’ll jail you, they’ll ruin you.
The Right doesn’t actually exist, and the problem is cowardice, selfishness, and an unwillingness to pay the price for power.
In short the Right really are legacy Americans, or Heritage Americans and Petit Bourgeoisie to the bone.
That’s the real problem Paul.
I look at my people and I see what Sherman saw at Shiloh- let shit get real and in their town and its over.
Not extant, and so far glass jawed overestimated commitment and staying power by orders of magnitude.
Look above at the Shiloh problem. The citizens of Shiloh had far more grit- and yet Sherman saw Victory and then took it 2 years later. The real matter is self interest prevents any common effort beyond talk or demonstration- one touch and it evaporates. They know they’re in a war and a struggle for survival- and all we hear that’s true is “we just want to be left alone.” And SO YOU ARE.
Alone is a formula for extinction if met by even a small group that acts with cohesion- yes even the Left.
The Right: Armed with more guns than hands utterly passive in the test. Worry not they shall not come for the guns - they know they need not fear.
The people see their fate and only want to grub out survival, hoping the worst happens to others.
The fate by the way is hunger, cold, probably famine- it is Ireland in 1847. That machine is running now, it runs itself- on self interest. It was debts you know (the Rack Rents) not potato fungus.
Better pray the fighters fight, against experience and judgment. It may happen, it is unlikely.
What could be done is organization, it requires courage, it means scrutiny, suffering, sacrifice - and of course that rules out all who have already quit. That could be done.
Means suffering, with not a gat in sight or a harsh word uttered , it means suffering.
It may be most realistic to entertain talking to the survivors after the culling.
I think the DR is best framed as an academic or educational institution and a media institution.
It’s not all lost. These essays of critique and big brained autistic thought crimes created many, if not all, of the Arab revolutions since 1910.
They were so crippling autistic and obsessive they had to go and create a whole written language known as MSA in order to communicate obscure political theory.
They have a powerful political institution which chronically fails at organized power yet influences the entire world for over a century.
There is a political and legal philosophy outside of the liberal and secular framework of the regimes of the Arab nationalist movement. The Arab has Islam, which is distinguished from Christianity due to its historic jurisprudence and political formations. In other words, Islam is a legal, philosophical, and political system while Christianity relegated those matters to influences outside of the church... “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” Mark 12:17.
This is ludicrous to muslims who's religion dictates everything from taxes, law, government, social issues, contracts, family formations, and morals to God. It is totalitarian just like liberal democracy. It is very easy for them to see the issues with liberal values and law, not as a matter of rational political theory, but as a matter of theology. (Which is useful for me, personally.)
Ironically, the secular liberal intellectual nationalist movements in the "Arab" world birthed an educated international elite who produced news papers and industry and finance and complex liberal legal systems all managed and staffed by liberal education systems. Once this foundation was in place and politics became a reality for power, Islam was organized into this liberal framework like a virus creating political parties and institutions like the Muslim Brotherhood. Only after the coups of ultra secular liberal nationalist military regimes (Young Officers Egypt, Ba'ath Syria, Ghdaffi Socialism Libya, and Ba'ath party Iraq) were these Islamic political institutions suppressed domestically which facilitated an outward focus of the now-illegal and homeless Islamic political institutions on anything not Islamic (specifically anything liberal, which was and is the INTERNAL, EXTERNAL, and ETERNAL ENEMY). It is the most hated political ideology in the world for a reason.
WE DO NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE CURRENT LIBERAL SYSTEM TO ORGANIZE AROUND.
1. Arabs were fighters long before Islam. In fact Islam has some tension with tribal fighting and especially blood feuds. Non-Muslim Arabs remain fighters.
Islam did not teach the Arabs how to fight or be men.
2. WE HAVE LOST OUR BALLS, THAT’S OUR PROBLEM.
3. We can organize around giving each other Dick punches and Ball taps so pain can remind us we are men, or at least have male genitalia.
4. Cowardice and selfishness have no systems solution, except compulsion by fear or terror. It has worked many times before.
5. With such cowardly, shirking and henpecked creatures not much can be done.
6. I think waiting on a replacement system to act is a fallacy, if not a cope.
7. You don’t need philosophy or ideology to organize.
8. Unless avoiding action and the necessary risk is the object.
Let me be candid as well.
I am speaking to any reading and not the author.

That’s unsolvable at present.
Sorry.
We’re getting there, slowly.
There’s a potential we only.

Where is our brotherhood?
Arabs are fighters.
They need only an excuse for action, not a reason.
We are utterly the reverse.

The soul of Shiloh (selfishness unto common ruin) must be purged from our people.
