Thanks. Powerful piece. Felt the desire to make a few comments.
>David Mamet had a famous saying, essentially: …‘in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things’… By pretending ‘not to know’ there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.
Intentional ignorance. Great barometer to gauge a person's allegiances in conversation. Stated political allegiances do not necessarily apply.
>Do not look away
That's exactly what they want us to do - look away in fear or disgust or shame or some sense of what they define as decorum. They think that we will cower at their brazenness. They are dead wrong and their mistake may prove to be fatal to their very existence.
>You cannot poll or measure it; specifically because most who carry it avoid discussion…
There is untold power in listening & observing and the eyes say so much.

>You really don’t want those guys to decide that the only way to fix it is to burn it down and start over…
Exactly why those of us who have moved beyond the "hot anger" have to assert themselves in this very time. Think Generals Kelly & Mattis during NoName's funeral. Sturdy calmness & fierce resolve make a powerful combination that resonates, even in the worst situations.
>Cold Anger will still hold open the door for the riot goer. Mannerly.
Yes. And that blindsides them, because in their perverted view of reality, kindness & good manners is a sign of weakness or submission. They have no clue that what they use as a tool of manipulation is actually being used against them as a genuine force.
>The course, is thoughtful vigilance; it is a strategy devoid of emotion.
Important. We all should be aware of that through being here - emotion fuels their weapons. They have no counter for emotionless resolve.
>The media can call us anything they want, it really doesn’t matter…. we’re far beyond the place where labels matter.
Yup. And the more it does not matter to us, the more they are driven insane.
>Their entire political apparatus is threatened by our insurgency.
Their entire BEING is threatened by it. This is way beyond political - it is the very definition of existential.
