I like this guy. He seems like a bright young man and I admire his optimism. I wish I shared it. This video is a year old and in the past year this critical mass he predicted here seems further away than ever. The commies at the highest levels have become even more emboldened as evidenced by the lawfare being waged on their political opponents and the brazen amnesty the DOJ is granting to people who have committed far more serious crimes simply because they play for the home team. BLM was always a scam and anyone who would have taken the time to visit their website would have figured that out in a second. Their mission statement reeked of LGB activism and their goals were all Marxist in nature. The talking points concerning minorities were plagiarized from the old Panther movement. Corporations knew the money would line pockets of grifters and end up in party coffers but they didn't care since they could write it off a tax deduction. The people out protesting didn't care because most of them weren't really committed to any cause. A lot of them were nihilistic white kids from the suburbs who were inspired by demons to lash out at the world and saw it as a chance to break stuff and blow sh*t up. For others it was part of the religious movement and that's the thing. The true believers see this as a religious struggle. I had this debate with a lefty friend and he became quite indignant when I posited that we are all hard wired for God and when you reject Him you find something else to fill the void. I didn't expand too far because he started accusing me of proselytizing and I wanted to avoid the jihad but his fervor in defense of his belief system kind of proved my point. And they aren't stopping just because something seems nonsensical. They believe paradise can be achieved here on Earth because it's all they have. But the real barrier is the apathy of the average American. People just don't care. The powers that be get away with what they do because they know there will never a reckoning, not in this lifetime, and they aren't too concerned about a reckoning in the next because even if they believe their is a next they have convinced themselves the eternal penalty won't be so bad. The country was completely screwed and everyone could see it when the 2022 midterms occurred yet no incumbent senator's lost their seats and the red tsunami everyone predicted turned out to be nothing more than a trickle. The republicans are on a suicide mission getting ready to run a guy for president in 2024 who might not be able to campaign because he'll be under some form of arrest and they say they are proud to do it because they want the show more than they want anything fixed. When the Visigoths put Rome under siege the people still flocked to the games at the Coliseum. They may have been eating rats and each other but the show had to go on. Until people are made to care they won't. The problem is, by the time that happens there won't be much left to care about. That is when the ride will really get dangerous. Like I say, I like this kids pluck and I wish things were unfolding the way he sees it. My lying eyes tell me something else. I remember the riots of the 1960s. No matter how crazy things got people had this inner belief that the equilibrium would be restored because there was a system in place to return to. Now the system is the problem. That's a tougher fix than this guy realizes. But that's me.
