The Amish and Libertarians are not the problem in the US today. The problems are the Nazis and Commies who are tools of the elites and want to control everyone.
Burning flags and yoga pants are not the problem in the US. The problem is that Americans no longer have the freedom to choose whether or not to burn flags or wear yoga pants. How can anyone know what is best for you? Are Americans just zombies, sheep, and robots now?
Freedom is everything.
How can you have morals without a church? Is the president your holy God?
Why work if the government chooses your job?
Why work if you can't keep your property?
If tyranny is so wonderful then why do North Koreans try to escape?
The problem today is not just the elites vs. the 99% or freedom vs. tyranny. The US collapse is a question of evil vs. good.
Think.
Americans stopped by the Gestapo should just smile, ask if they're free to go, remain silent, do not consent to a search, and act dumb if pressed.
Those who dropout and live in a bunker risk wasting their life if the US doesn't collapse in the next 50 years, but those who keep their head down, stay silent, work, and pay taxes are no better than the elites who are driving the US into the ground or the Communists in Cambodia or the Stasi in East Germany.
The US collapse is not happening in a bubble on some distant planet. The USA collapse is happening right now and you just need to go outside to see it. Maybe you don't care that Muslims are rotting in Gitmo or the USA is killing civilians in Syria or Afghanistan or Assange is in jail, but that blood is on your hands and your silence ensures that the ruling class will eventually come for you. Your refusal to resist means that you consent to whatever the 1% is doing.
Americans blame Jews for the US collapse, but Americans are buying the debt, wars, and tyranny the Jews are selling.
Americans blame illegal immigrants for the US collapse, but the main problem with illegals is that they are illegal. Illegal aliens wouldn't get welfare if the USA didn't have welfare. Americans scream illegal immigrants are brown, but the US had brown people before. Illegal immigrants won't embrace American values of peace, balanced budgets, responsibility, and freedom now because Americans don't care about American values, either.
The US is now a bankrupt warmongering police state.
Nothing will change, though, because too many people have a vested interest in maintaining it. The elites have bought off the politicians with campaign donations and cushy job promises and TSA agents and welfare leeches would not vote for freedom or less welfare money.
People get used to slavery. You wouldn't mind radar detectors if radar detectors existed before you were born. Kids born today would think NDAA indefinite detention, gun bans, free speech bans, kill lists, asset forfeiture, TSA groping, NSA wiretapping, and CIA torture are perfectly acceptable.
The government is no longer a democracy or is legitimate. The electronic voting machines can be hacked. Americans are not responsible for the laws and and taxes they didn't vote for.
Americans are too immoral, degraded, and depraved now to vote for someone like Ron Paul who would try to reduce the debt, end the wars, and restore the Bill of Rights so a total collapse of the USA is certain. The US will either have a sudden collapse like the USSR, a slow decline like Japan, Brazil, or Venezuela, or the US Ponzi economy will crash, Civil War 2.0 will start, and WWIII will break out.
Moral Americans that were taught to hate the Soviet Union everyday in school are in a shock now that they are told to be Communists.
All those Americans who died fighting for freedom against the British, Hitler, and Iraq died for nothing.
Communists scream Norway is a Socialist success story, but Norwegians are drunks now because there's no reason to work or get married. What will Norway do when Muslims overrun their nation and the oil money runs out?
Maybe the best option right now is that Americans need to go Galt, dropout, buy gold, buy a sailboat or live in the mountains, stop paying taxes, stop getting licenses, lose their names, stop flying, stop using the Internet, and stop dealing with the government.
One wonders if a trade war would have unintended consequences.
Would imports from India rise if the US increased tariffs on imports from China?
Would other nations benefit if the USA raised duties on imports from China and China retaliated by increasing tariffs on US exports and waiving duties on all other countries?
Would a trade war increase US exports?
Would Americans benefit from higher prices on products?
Would US companies have an incentive to produce quality products if there was no foreign competition?
Has closed borders turned North Korea into a stunning success?
Did a trade war make the Great Depression worse?
Can you get rich by decree?
Did the USSR fail?
Are US tariffs used to fund US wars, debt, and tyranny?
Where would US get olives without imports?
Does the USA have access to rare earth metals without imports?
When our overlords make a decree, they always sell it as a minor temporary law that only affects Muslims, junkies, sex offenders, homosexuals, illegal immigrants, or blacks. The 1% doesnât mention that the law will become permanent and more draconian.
No one cares if owning cows are illegal, yoga pants are illegal, teen driving is illegal, or smoking is illegal. The problem is what happens when your job is banned, the government steals your house, tortures your family, or sends you to the concentration camps.
Are you just going to take it?
Do you want to lose your gun rights because a black person might buy one?
Do you want a wall that will be used to keep you IN?
Do you want Trump to become a dictator to kick out illegal immigrants?
Do you think mass arrests of illegal aliens won't be used against Americans?
Do you like being wiretapped, tortured, and TSA groping because of Muslims?
Do you think losing your property rights is acceptable to stop drugs?
Think.
Itâs about how much tyranny âwe the peopleâ will tolerate before we find our conscience and our voice.
Itâs about how far we will allow the government to go in its efforts to distract and divide us and turn us into a fearful, easily controlled populace.
Ultimately, itâs about whether we believeâas the Founders didâthat our freedoms are inherently ours and that the government is only as powerful as we allow it to be. Freedom does not flow from the government. It was not given to us, to be taken away at the will of the State. In the same way, the governmentâs appointed purpose is not to threaten or undermine our freedoms, but to safeguard them.
We must get back to this way of thinking if we are to ever stand our ground in the face of threats to those freedoms.
itâs time to draw that line in the sand.
The treatment being meted out to anyone that looks like an illegal immigrant is only the beginning. Eventually we will all be in the governmentâs crosshairs for one reason or another.
This is the start of the slippery slope.
Martin Niemöller understood this. A Lutheran minister who was imprisoned and executed for opposing Hitlerâs regime, Niemoller warned:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak outâBecause I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak outâBecause I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outâBecause I was not a Jew. Then they came for meâand there was no one left to speak for me.
