Quoted:
We all have the illusion of freedom , but that's all it is. View Quote What disturbs me the most, is how westerners have just sort of accepted it. The story about the kid in New Zealand that was arrested for downloading the shooter's manifesto, and various people in the UK being arrested for speech violations, those really bother me. I guess when it comes to free speech I'm somewhat of a radical. I don't even believe in the censorship of ugly or mean words, or distasteful, or racist ideas. Words and ideas shouldn't be restricted. Also the New Zealand's government refusing to release the name of the shooter bothered me. On this forum many supported that. I don't EVER think the government should be able to "disappear" someone. I don't care what they are accused of, or did. That's getting damn near black bagging people. I also don't like secret courts, and "special prisons". People accept them because they believe they'll only be used for bad people, and terrorists. Once people get use to governments black bagging bad people, holding them in special prisons, trying them in secret courts, it's just a small step away form very bad things happening. One day someone you know is black bagged, and everyone just assumes he must have done something "bad", and accepts it. People in government shouldn't be trusted with that kind of power. |

Quoted:
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward." Aleksandr I.

We are a long way from that yet. Do you see any Jews wearing yellow stars yet? View Quote The Yellow Star was to identify the Jews to the government. The government today doesn't need you to wear a star, they know who you are and where you are. The state of surveillance in today's world is so vast and powerful, it would make the NAZIs and Soviets jealous. |

First they came for the standard capacity mags in NY, NJ, California and Maryland but I did not live in NY, NJ, California and Maryland so I did not speak up.
Then they came for the bumpstocks but I did not speak up because I did not own a bump stock. Then they came for the binary triggers but I did not speak up because I did not own a binary trigger. Then they came for those who were Red Flagged but I did not speak up because I was not Red Flagged. Then they came for me and nobody was left to speak up. |

That's not radical. That's basic 1st Amendment stuff. Of course the sarcasm may have gone over my head. @Qweevox View Quote The 2nd amendment was put in place to protect our individual rights if all else fails. That won't matter if we allow the bill of rights to be trampled over, and continue to allow the judicial end-arounds to happen. The 4th Amendment is already just a symbolic joke. At most it's a minor bureaucratic exercise to overcome. The slow creep of infringement has been moving forward since before the ink was dry on the Bill of Rights. People just accept it, in the name of security. |

Economic censorship via payment processors and banks of conservatives, like Gavin McInnis and Chase Bank, the Proud Boys members or Milo. Patreon deplatforming. Google, Facebook, Twitter are all openly stifling anyone they can that's right of mao. The media openly calling for attacks of high school kids wearing the wrong hat at the wrong place. People being assaulted for wearing a hat or disagreeing politically. An open attack on our election system by the media, half the government itself as well. The demonization of people for their race, gender and sexual orientation. Sounds pretty damn close to kristallnacht to me. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted: What evidence do you have to the contrary? We don't have a dictator in office, or any SS taking orders from the non-existent dictator. Nor do we have any genocide currently occurring. Not that I'm a fan of the red flag laws becoming popular right now, but it's still quite a big jump from that to the the third reich. View Quote The noose has been and continues to be tightened every day and in every way - push back?

We are a long way from that yet. Do you see any Jews wearing yellow stars yet? In-country there were the ad-hoc deaths from abuse, overwork and starvation in the concentration camps and then the Kristallnacht was just setting the mob loose on the Jews. Collections in the ghettos in occupied territories, as well as in Germany, to ship them out to concentration/ extermination camps were bloody because they would just outright kill those who resisted, were too young, old or disabled to keep up with the collection marches. The T-4 eugenics program was a warmup to gassing people in the extermination camps. |

It began with the rise of Bubba in the presidency and "political correctness" with respects to speech. Good book to read by an former Austrian soldier who was drafted in the Wehrmacht is Condemned To Live. The author saw the same thing happen in Germany and applied it to Colin Powell being shouted down during a commencement speech.
