The protests were part of the calculus that helped him understand that it was unwinnable. If the American people had been willing to throw everything they had into the Vietnam war the way they had in WWII it might have ended with an American military victory of sorts, albeit at a horrific cost. The mere existence of widespread protests against the war showed that such an approach would never be feasible.

The well-armed citizenry is a joke against the US military, or any serious military for that matter, with the likely exception of North Korea. The problem is that for the rest of us, the crossfire will be a bad place to be.

He’s not a neo-con. If you ask him he’ll straight up say he’s not a neo-con. And the neo-cons I follow think he’s a dangerous, crazed extremist likely to start disastrous wars with Iran and North Korea.

The option of using violence against a corrupt regime is always present, but most people (certainly including myself) are far too craven to utilise it until the regime is literally breaking down their door.
You don’t have options you like, but don’t deceive yourself into thinking the options don’t exist.

I was already terrified of him 10 years ago. Now I’m convinced he is from House Bolton. Where are you, Arya when we need you?

I keep waiting for a fever of revolution to seize the people here but it never happens, I have come to accept that enough people are ok with all of this… reminds me of my childhood which is never a good thing.

Well we had a good run as a species. Now it’s time to let the war walrus send us to the big mushroom cloud in the sky. RIP Us.

Unfortunately, we’ve not reached the crisis/crises point/s yet. Once we do then things might change. Right now, it’s still too comfy. We still got running water, Netflix, and enough money to buy crap food so most folks won’t lift a finger until that becomes a problem to do for the most common person. When that day comes I’m not sure what the people will do then I just pray they don’t go Nazi. >_>
