Speak for yourself? There's nothing special about being blood related. I would absolutely do it, if I had any practical reason to, which I do not, would be a horrible decision. My family never loved me, after all, so I naturally am not inclined to extend them any special status or care.
people fought and killed their family members in the last civil war in the US. and in every civil war ever.
I will here reference lyrics from the song "we want freedom" by dead prez:
Yeah, yeah
Imagine havin' no runnin' water to drink
Chemicals contaminate the pipes leadin' to your sink
Just think, if the grocery stores close they doors
And they saturate the streets with tanks and start martial law
Would you be ready for civil war
Could you take the life of somebody you know,
Or have feelings for if necessary?
I got cousins in the military
But far as I'm concerned they died, when they registered
Politics is not historical or materialist. it is a set of coordinates in an abstract space of n-dimensions. I will ask everyone to fill out their apology form to idealism
If you live in the states espousing option 2 gets you a free visit with the lovely chaps who have been successfully killing leftists and leftist groups for decades.
Basically, everything The Heritage Foundation has been pushing for for decades is lined up to happen via a reclassification of federal positions and an internal purge of the executive bureaucracy. They have a shortlist of thousands of people ready to be appointed and start working on their agenda. Just really shifting into overdrive on the fascist rhetoric and policy.
I've read a little about Project 2025 (I don't follow this stuff closely) and it seems bad. But how realistic is it? Aren't there always frimge groups with bad/extremist ideas?
They weren't prepared in 2020. Now they're extra prepared with Project 2025. They were scrambling for bullets in 2020, now they'll have a fully armed batallion if Trump is elected in 2025. Not only does he not have to worry about getting reelected and thereby has the freedom to do as he pleases (and now BONUS, he can't be held accountable for any laws he breaks while in office), but Project 2025 is paving the way to keep him in office indefinitely.
Do you really think the tiny handful of Liberals willing to commit homicide against people they know personally for the sake of putting a slightly less awful POTUS in office is big enough to swing even the tightest of elections? Especially when you take the electoral college into consideration...
This is worse than advocating adventurism, this is Lib adventurism.
Tarn Adams of Dwarf Fortress fame made a wonderful little game about lib adventurism called Liberal Crime Squad. It's like if you ported the energy of the 1800s Russian Narodniks onto the early 2000s Bush era liberal
I mean, if someone is open enough on being a Trumper, I can imagine them doing violence against others. Just maybe not in the Sleeper Agent way some folks imagine.
