Go where they treat you best -- that sounds like something that Doug Casey would say. I have recently become a paid subscriber to his newsletter. He is a very cold stark realist. I will check out this Nomad Capitalist of which you speak. Thanks for the data point.

Yes, but the US military is 2/3 Trump supporters. Also, you will have a good fraction of military insiders that would work from the inside to bollix up any operations against the US citizens. Additionally, the US military consists of government workers. These might be well trained, but they are certainly not creative or inventive. One creative guy with the equipment and knowledge can destroy 10s of millions of dollars in government infrastructure / military and continue to be a thorn in the side of the establishment. In terms of dollars, the US / any govt can print as many notes as they care to... it all comes down to purchasing power. If there is little production then you run into real problems since those inflated dollars are chasing an ever diminishing supply of tangible goods. So, yes, I agree -- going On Strike to reduce production can result in a weakened economy -- produce just enough for yourself and immediate family, engage in barter and black market trades, stay sharp in terms of having relevant skills that can be traded. I have recently Gone Galt ... retired after 30 years in software engineering. I am no longer a top 10 percenter in terms of being a tax slave... I officially reside in the poverty sector of the economy ... I am also not counting on a dime of social security (age 55 presently) ... living on cash and other investments that can be kept under the radar. Stay sharp, healthy and relevant.

Backstabbers!

Too bad we're not on Frank Herbert's Dune (Arrakis) from one of the clandestine Houses I would feed al those traitorous individuals including the Dems to the Sandworms.

It is almost like never ending sarcasm, without productive discussion.

You are correct. Everyone should stay out and away from these demonstrations. They will derive no positive purpose.

Yep, lots of wormy pandering going on.

Because that is not the best use of my effort.

Why don’t you organize your buddies and head to DC and show us .

Oh I hear her warming up for Biden and the rest of the traitors . The anons know it . Keep Bashing Q just like the 1000+ MSM articles and your buddy
@Jack from twitter. We all know how accurate they are. Heck they are even fact-checked as correct.

My Atlas Society Daily Calendar for January 3 read:

The United States was the first moral society in history. All previous systems had regarded man as a sacrificial means to the ends of others, and society as an end in itself. Ayn Rand

How refreshing.......

yes. out and out physical fighting against a more powerful and organized army isnt very practical

I think the military has non-fatal weapons , e.g., sonic, that could be applied to any area where they want to collect all the firearms and expect resistance.
I suspect many would give up arms to stop the pain. (So keep your arms well hidden and be prepared to give up a cheap firearm and its ammo.)
The public has firearms but are lacking in tactics and strategy, imo.
We are also very naive about what government will do and about what 'intelligence' tools they have.
A non-violent approach like a legal consumer boycott is by far the better approach, imo.

Posed a question on Quora about whether Washington's Democrat Governer Inslee might now lift Covid restrictions on the districts of the 2 Republican Representitives who voted for impeachment.

Getting some heated responses...

Many of the Founders weren't even in favor of political parties at all.
To really understand the "founders", read the Anti-federalist Papers. Those are the arguments against a strong central government and those arguments led to the Bill of Rights.
The Federalist Papers are the ones that schools used to include in reading assignments for History classes, BUT they were the arguments for Bigger and Stronger Central Government.
Of course the government schools wanted people to be brainwashed by those anti-liberty arguments.
If it wasn't for the thinkers who wrote the Anti-Federalist Papers there would have been no Bill of Rights
and the America we knew would have been a feudal society. There would never have been ANY country
that respected individual liberty.

I have guns myself. One thing I look at is the 1850(?) civil war in the USA. It was a bloody mess and ended in the defea and destruction of the south which only wanted to secede, not take over the north.

The 74million deplorables are probably more heavily armed than the liberals, but the liberals have their fingers on the button of massive firepower from the US military. Guerrilla warfare would ensue for many years I suspect, since if lone soldiers came up my street they probably would be fired upon. But the government forces could drop massive bombs on my whole neighborhood and neutralize us. Not a pretty sight.

The government forces today are too strong to fight physically, and the leftist mob controls them.

It seems to me that the weakness of the leftists is that they are by and large NOT productive and creative people, and their economy if left alone would fail as did the venezuelan one. Massive resistance by armed venezuelans would probably quickly get rid of the powers that be there (but I doubt venezuelans have guns).

It would be smarter for us to withdraw our productivity and creative from expropriation by the leftists to weaken them first, and THEN oppose them where we have a better chance of a quick defeat.

what do you think?

Unlike the nations that fell to collectivism in S. America, there are still a great many individuals in the United States of America who:
1. Own lots of guns and ammo.
2. Know how to properly use and maintain those instruments of freedom.
3. Are psychologically prepared to employ those instruments.

I recently shared my views at a circle-campfire where I was clearly outnumbered (Libertarian: 1 Liberals: Many). I made the observation that, although lots of liberals are filing into the gun stores, lots of those guns are stashed in the closet, safe, etc... these liberals are not out on the range -- they are not becoming proficient, they are not getting prepared. How many folks here, I inquired, have a perfect wind-corrected drop from 500 yards? They thought I was speaking Chinese with a Russian accent. Then I offered, if the cold civil war ever got hot, it would be over with in three weeks with another week for mop-up operations. Bravado? Perhaps. But I was trying to make it clear -- it isn't smart to poke the bear. Additionally, a smart individual will Act well prior to being fully forced into a corner -- that individual, being smart, will Act while there are still a multitude of options on the table.

Yeah, the logic is a little flawed. He can marinate on that and get back with us. I see where he’s going. But it kinda leaves open a lot of boxes that should be shut.

My parents, in their 70's, were in South Dakota a few years ago -- road trip. My dad related the story of how he was speaking to a Chinese couple, similar ages ... my dad likes to talk history ... he starts talking about Mao, the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. The take-away that my dad got from the old Chinese couple: Chairman Mao had very good intentions and he did bring industry to China... what they did not mention or mull on was the 50 million dead, due mostly to starvation. The millions of dead in payment for Good Intentions is often a footnote that falls from the bottom of the page. Of course, it's all in the details -- this old Chinese couple may have lived in the US all their lives... And yet, it is important to remember and keep historical facts alive. This is difficult when history is being purged.

Back when there were 13 states I think the Congress was the “committee”. All the leader/whip crap came later.

so by that thinking slavery was ok, and killing indians cause you wanted their land was ok then too
that would make the lockdowns today in NYC for our pandemic problem ok too

A crime in 1850 is not the same as a crime in1950. What was done to the American Indian can not be judged with the same scale as used today. That applies to the whole world of 1850. You can not use 21 century morality to judge 1850s political actions unless you have an agenda. In 1850 it took a couple of years for most of the people to know what was happening even a thousand miles away. It's just not apples and apples.

In any event, political will of 100 years ago has nothing to do with political will of today. Trying to judge American justice with the American Indians as in any way reflective American justice of today is twisted.

Unfortunately, except for Trump, voting Republican is voting for corruptocracy, just a kissing cousin of communism.

check out NOMAd capitalist. kind of interesting. His mantra is "go where they treat you best"- sounds like good advice for all kinds of things. He has a lot of youtube videos as well as a book on kindle

true. the US also did terrible things to mexico and the naive americans. At some point you have to draw a line and move forward
