I have been banging this drum for years and have been "loud" and persistent AF in all the ways that I can be. I do feel like I have had some success in "converting" some lefties and inspiring some quiet and too-well-behaved patriots. I wish that I could devote many, many more hours to this, though I suppose that by living and communicating as I have been, I am already devoting a large number of hours to this resistance. Every little bit helps, I believe. I have zero patience for those who are sitting on their asses on the right, and are waiting for some magical line to be crossed so that this can "go hot" and they can react with aggression. Too many of those people exist and they need to have fires lit under their asses to start resisting in myriad non-violent ways. Thanks for doing what you're doing.

Same - the silence of people on our side is deafening. I can bang the drum all day every day but people just seem annoyed that you are interrupting their endless social media feed of puppies and rainbows.

Seems like many take comfort in denial.

I try to push and ask some on the right, "What's it going to take to get you to resist in some fashion? How bad does it have to get?" I've had some interesting conversations with these questions. Sadly, it seems like things have to get very bad for some people to get out of their cushy denial recliners. And of course, we know that by then it will be much harder to resist, if we will be able to do it all.

It seems that consent is the the key to the defense of sovereignty and coercion is the tool that others use to steal that sovereignty.

Don't underestimate the danger. Look what they do to JK Rowling. She's rich and can better afford the risks but fears for her family. The Woke/Antifa mob is vicious, and caution is the better part of valor. We have to find effective ways to fight back that don't leave us cancelled and broke.

I think the answer for that is the be in a community with other likeminded, real people. She probably has her own real life circle of people, but she’s one person against thousands, being a celebrity. Don’t be alone, it’s harder to win.

...Even if your right. They’ll double down on wrong, especially if they’re in a group.

Especially if they know they're wrong.

If we don't fight back now, we're going to be canceled and broke anyway, and likely worse.
