Awesome and glad you appreciated it! That Twain quote is spot-on, isn’t it.
And yes, it will take all hands on deck to turn the tide of history, but we have no other choice but to try. All past totalitarian regimes *have* eventually been defeated, so it’s not entirely hopeless :-)
Yes, but it took generations. I would to ensure my kids do not have to live through that. History shows us the way, but it seems we are following history in that we do not know how late it is.
Do you know the song Risin’ of the Moon? Keep in mind I am abroad, but that is what it will take. They have demonstrated that they will constrain themselves to law nor court rulings nor the will of the people. There is but one way out of this.
Point taken. Awakening people to the presence of the noose is the first step—the more hands to loosen it, the better our chances of removing and shredding it. If a handful of people jump to the shooting phase before that happens, they will likely be quashed, branded terrorists, and used as an excuse to tighten the noose to a near chokehold. We need mass noncompliance to dethrone the tyrants, as I explain in my second essay (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/covid-is-over-if-you-want-it).
Exactly. As I opened my first article, “Primer for the Propagandized” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-primer-for-the-propagandized):
”The noose is dangling gently around our necks. Every day, they cinch it tighter. By the time we realize it’s strangling us, it will be too late.”
Just read it. Greta piece. Been using a version of the shorter Twain quote for a while. History is NOT on our side.

In this case, we don’t have the luxury of waiting generations. We MUST stop this now, or there won’t be future generations.
Exactly.
But will we?
YES. We have no other choice.

I fear you may be right if the tyrants keep pushing, but I’m trying to stop this before we descend into the Time of Troubles here …
Already arresting parents for questioning school boards.
So study knots, netting mesh spacing, fiber materials, winch rigging and write a book about it, or look up and start shooting?
