Tech titan Jack Dorsey of San Francisco-based social media platform Twitter applauded an article in something called Medium in which some other hipster CEO described how liberals intend to crush Normal Americans into serfdom in a bloodless “civil war.”
Here it is.
Ready?
It will just sort of happen. Why? Because. Americans will simply decide to be like California because of reasons and phew, no more troublesome conservatives and Gaia is saved!
So basically, wishing.
Well, that’s a kind of war plan. Perhaps by unleashing the power of hoping so they can utterly subjugate the half of America that voted against Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and drive the people who actually operate and defend this country into silent obedience.
Or not.
Now, I know what you’re saying. You’re saying, “Why do a bunch of San Francisco dorks think that 150 million Americans with 300 million guns are just going to give up their rights and their say in their own governance and submit to the commands of people who eat kale by choice?” That’s a fair question, and they have an answer.
Because you just are.
I didn’t say it was a good answer.
Recently I wrote a long column here describing the ugly realities of an actual Second Civil War – realities that are much uglier for the anti-freedom liberal side in terms of terrain, combat power, and morale. Naturally, this cry for sanity, which was only the latest in my long history of pleas to liberals to avoid the kind of civil strife I witnessed the consequences of overseas, was greeted by a torrent of outright lies. “You are advocating a civil war blah blah blah blah.” All liberal bull Schiff, including some by shameful collaborationist Fredocons who should know better, but not at all unexpected. The modern liberals’ rhetorical toolbox is filled exclusively with lies, which has the effect of making actual reasoned discussion impossible. Of course, that is their goal – they don’t want to defeat your argument. They want you bullied into silence. Tellingly, no one even bothered to try and counter the indisputable facts I offered many times showing why liberals will fail if they choose violence – instead, they tried to shut me up.
Michael Moore chance. As I have shown before, they dream of an America where they can crush all dissent from their orthodoxy, and I’m not playing that.
They want to silence you too, and every other patriot. But that’s a short-sighted tactic because people who are silenced, particularly uppity Americans who take their natural rights seriously, won’t just shrug and give up. They will stew and fume at the injustice of their oppression and then they will radicalize and then, because they have been wrongfully denied access to the means of participation in the governance of their own society, they will inevitably exercise their power in the only way left to them. They will rebel. They have before. Sometimes it’s peaceful – like by electing Donald Trump. But if peaceful doesn’t work, they are going to give not being peaceful a try. That’s just human nature.
This is where the liars pounce again with their fussy fauxtrage – leftists love violence directed at Normal Americans – but facts are facts. If the liberal plan to drive non-liberal Americans from the public square – the NRA, Laura Ingraham, and even Kevin Williamson silencing campaigns are just some recent examples – succeeds, it will only succeed for a little while. The fact is that if Normal people are barred from “legitimate” participation, they will participate “illegitimately.” Just ask the redcoats how taxation without representation worked out.
Here’s a hint: We Americans have good teeth and don’t eat spotted dick.
But the liberal campaign plan hand waves away that whole unwillingness to be disenfranchised thing by announcing that this new “civil war” to totally disenfranchise half of America will be bloodless. Good – I’m all for bloodless – but did they ask the people they intend to disenfranchise about that? Because, as liberals love to point out when excusing urban mobs that riot and burn down their own neighborhoods because of real or imagined grievances, people don’t always choose to be peaceful when they are confronted by what they perceive as systemic injustice.
Systemic injustice is, of course, exactly what the liberals are proposing. They want to impose the traditional leftist governing mode of “one man, one vote, one time” on all of America, and cite California as a shining example of our future. According to the article, not coincidentally written in a state where recreational weed is now legal, California is “a thriving work in progress that gives hope that America can pull out of the political mess we’re in.” But there are problems with using California as a role model, starting with the fact that California sucks.
Oh, it doesn’t suck for rich guys living by the beach like Jack and his hipster buddies. California is pretty great for bros like him. But the guys who cut his lawn and wash his Tesla and feed his pet pandas, well, not so much. The article claims, “California Democrats actually cared about average citizens.” Yeah, uh huh. Drive 10 miles inland from the beach and California dreamin’ becomes California nightmarin’.
California is a bankrupt failed state that is essentially Illinois with palm trees and better weather. Outside the coastal urban enclaves where Jack and his pals mingle, drinking kombucha and apologizing for their white privilege to their baffled servants, it’s a crowded, decaying disaster. Bums wander the streets, littering the sidewalks with human waste. Crime is rising. Illegal aliens abound, more welcome in the Golden State than actual Americans. California is an example all right, but a cautionary one
The lefties need to be careful about what they wish for because of the reasons cited in the article. Should they trigger their Marxist civil war they need to remember that unlike the 1860’s, the next one won’t have battlefields like Chancellorsville and Gettysburg but rather the type of war we saw in Iraq. That means their little safe havens won’t be so safe anymore and they will experience the fruits of their labor firsthand.
The Medium article in question is more thought-provoking than Kurt Schlichter’s reaction to it.
Schlichter seems to have made a deliberate choice to misrepresent Peter Leyden’s civil war analogy. The civil war Leyden is referring to will take place at the nation’s ballot boxes. The outcome will be determined by the nation’s shifting demographics.
Lovely article from Medium, except the silicon valley multi-millionaires, dont know we are not just deniers, we are consensus equals science deniers. You know the consensus that the earth was flat consensus and the 90% chance Harpy was going to win the election consensus. Science you can reproduce in real life experiments, it is never settled, the atom is the smallest particle was settled, eggs were bad for you settled.
The normies and right wing conservatives are in no mood to go quietly into the night. You can silence voices on the big social media sites but we just may go to the dark web, or create one of our own.
Sounds like something the Weather underground scum wanted to do back in the 1970’s only this silicon valley scumbag want to use their own dirty method like perhaps like Mass Mind Control This person needs to be investigated and arrested and locked away for the rest of their life in prison
@Greg: The funny thing is…no…no it won’t. Liberals are not “progressive” any more, and they are schlepping decades old philosophies that younger American’s and minorities have firmly rejected, already, at the ballot box.
Probably time for liberals to either evolve or die out, like the Fundamentalist Christians they became worse than.
@Greg:
Driven by the left luring in as many illegal immigrants as they possibly can and instigating them to illegally vote.
One thing to keep well in mind; the military. The Armed Forces of the United State of America will never side with the left that has hated, denigrated and weakened them at every opportunity. They are bound to the Constitution, not a personality.
