Sorry, but a civil society simply cannot operate like that. I’m old enough to remember when left wing extremists decided violence was the answer (late 1960s to mid 1980s in Europe & US). Remember the Brigade Rosa or the Baader-Meinhof Gang (w/o Google)? Didn’t end well (for RW nuts like McVeigh too) - ThreadSky

I am only familiar with baader-meinhof as a psychological phenomenon. Shamefully, I only know the others in the fact that they were MLs. Also, I think this guy was a RW nut, and infact represents a point of unity between typically opposed sides. Not really material to the rest of it.

McVeigh was crazy, hell, this guy was crazy. It doesn't mean I can't think he generated a good outcome. The actions of simpering bunches of plutocrat compromised politicians have generated tension in a America's people who more easily have access to the goings on of the world. And to misinformation.

Slowly, among such a population, it becomes a powderkeg, and talk about lesser evils comes across only as insincere, gets you nothing but scorn. People vote for an obviously insincere piece of shit, who lies constantly, but who promises them the world! So desperate are they for change.

Education is failing quite badly. Class size makes effective education nearly impossible. That's before you get into curriculum problems. It is only going to get worse, and produce another generation who will sense the injustice, but be unable to identify its causes even less.

Listen I don't know what would've won, exactly. Only that we cannot just talk about how well the inflation was handled by any economic measure. People don't care to hear that when they pay more. Either come out and own it, hard, like in an elitist intellectual way. Or we need counter propaganda.

Unfortunately, the type of revolution we've actually chosen is the reactionary revolution, not the leftist one. Though neither would be bloodless. And really, who's to say where a storm is going to go. Best we can do is to sense 'em coming.
