I really feel legitimately bad about the pro-confederate stance I used to take in regards to civil war history in the past.
What I should have gotten from my Civil War research was that the conflict was a more nuanced issue then the media and mainstream historians usually represent; and that there were multiple sides and reasons for why people fought and why the war was started in the first place, instead I took an edgy "the south was right, actually" stance, it alienated a lot of people, and lost me some friends.

What commercials tell you having a luxury car means: bling, gadgets, extra big LCD screen, feature that massages your ass while you drive.
Reality: air conditioner that works, high mpg, cargo space, no spying crap.

Appearing on Fox News Wednesday, Anthony Fauci appeared to admit that the Biden administration’s efforts to reinstate mask mandates on planes and trains is about preserving “authority” (read power) over public health decisions, not about keeping people safe.

its just kind of interesting how many people that were involved with the executive branch misinfo office were directly responsible for misinfo. a cynical person might think they were trying to get in front of something

"Non-compliance is so hard, can't we just take them out by violence?"
I used to believe that too, but it has no use.
Even if you get past many layers of military grade security checkpoints, kill every single politician in the entire country, all this will do is they'll just ship a bunch of new puppets, and nothing will change as your average person will continue to comply anyway, while policies will remain identically the same.

And by the same token, you can't bring change through voting.
All you will change is which set of criminals is enslaving you, policies will remain exactly the same.

Therefore, mass non-compliance is the only real way out of tyranny.
Mass non-compliance is the only thing that will actually change things for the better.
