She should watch some D-Day footage. The thing with Western wars is, they'll load the young men in a boat and let them out in front of machine gun nests, and it doesn't matter if you wanted to fight or not you're already in it.
Teach your kids to resent their government, and they'll still end up chumming the waters the exact same.
Only if they don’t shoot the recruiter first. If they’re going to force us into war, we can fight it here.
You'd hope, but you see how the government usurped the anti-Vietnam effort to make it ugly and hard to support.
It's not their first rodeo. They have thousands of man-lifetimes of tested and refined schemes to draw upon, where you've only got your one lifetime of experience to prepare you to defend against them.
If they want you gunned down by Germans, you'll be gunned down by Germans. If they want your water poisoned, your water will be poisoned.
I'm anti-whatever the fuck is in charge, but I don't see an avenue to fight it in any meaningful way.
Agreed. I concluded a long time ago that this realm isn’t meant to be won- but it matters how we endure the struggle (always hopeful I’m wrong, but it is what it is).
“Fighting” this force, for me anyway, has been an exercise in divorcing myself from reliance upon their system. If they want to shut down the food supply, my yard is a good forest. Want to take down the grid? Neat- my solar system is EMP resistant. All the preparations in the world can be taken away in an instant though.
As you said, if they want us dead- they’ll eventually kill us. The use of arms against them is the death row of a cornered fox- turning my front yard into an LEO orphan factory is just a consolation prize on my way out. It’s a lost battle long before it ever gets to that point.
All we want is to raise our families in peace.
Tl;dr: leave me in peace or leave in pieces
