“These are the times that try men souls: the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country. But he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered,”
The Crisis, Thomas Paine

This applies to any movement. They infiltrate and kill it. Make it weak. Talk you into comprise. NEVER COMPRISE. STAY STRONG STAY MILITANT. WHY I DONT TRUST LIBERALS. They all will betray us. Stab us all in the back EVERY SINGLE TIME. ESPECIALLY BERNIE SANDERS AOC THE SQUAD
There's much more to Thomas Paine, his love of freedom and his sacrifices to confront religion. Here's what Bertrand Russell had to say about him, excerpt from his book - Why I am Not a Christian.

Follow the money folks.
"..[S]ome Massanello∗ may hereafter arise, who, laying hold of popular disquietudes, may collect together the desperate and the discontented, and by assuming to themselves the powers of government, finally sweep away the liberties of the Continent like a deluge. (Common Sense)
I'd posted this a couple of hours ago. Paine - an immigrant - is one of the few men from our early history that actually lived his words.

Tyranny, once established, is extremely difficult to remove without violence and sacrifice.
I worry people don't see it as tyranny and autocracy.
Some believe their lives will not be affected.
The only ones who will continue living as usual are the super rich.

Must have soul first.
These times truly test our resolve & those who stand firm through the storm will earn the respect & admiration of future generations
TYRANNY may seem relentless but as Paine said
it’s not easily conquered
Fight 4 justice requires unwavering strength 💪
He was the best founder hands down. Early abolitionist. Universal sufferage. Warned against organized religion. Never got a position in government and almost no one went to his funeral.
