It's pretty grim out there even in my hometown of Berkeley. Pretty dark here in the liberal oasis of Nashville too. There are many non-liberals hanging out amidst the liberal "normies".
How the person comes by the means of production of money appears to me, as much as kinship and peer group, and education to be a factor. In my life in Sacramento my home suburbs saw State and Federal workers, construction, a few teachers. Apolitical except if Union then voted union ticket. Downtown was more sophisticated, educated, and wealthier and liberal. My friends liberal. A few knee jerk conservative military types. No norms of belief in my jobs as a salesman no one cared for my ideas on what needs to be done. Our sociology determines so much. The genius of our power system in this country is the local. We live here. We eat here. We play here too. And we vote.
You’re right - it’s all local in time and space. Voting, if it happens fairly at all in the old US of A “should” be quite interesting. Speaking of my own peer group, neighborhoods, it was always an interesting amalgam. Don’t know what they’ve done with their lives.
Nasties' advice to the media: "Just keep hammering the same nail, we're working on our computer simulations as fast as we can. Just put some FEAR into them." Well, sooner or later, those complicit will have to face the music, just like the Nasties will. What a show.
PSE, the equivalent of PG&E, showed up today to change my meter, which had nothing wrong with it, so apparently I can be mildly pulsed every 30 seconds for... ever. That's more worrisome to me than any masking mandate could be... Sigh.
Randomize your data, if you are up at 3:34AM, turn on the toaster, just don't burn down the house. Make a conscious effort to do these little things and you can ruin their data for the whole neighborhood. Use their tech against them.
I know one user who did this in a very complicated and confusing manner.
"Just as Obama justifies the government’s confiscation of wealth for confiscation’s sake, the CDC justifies the imposition of mask mandates for imposition’s sake. It is the sartorial manifestation of the government’s demand that an individual submit to its power and authority. "
True, but just like me, plenty of us are "No longer afraid."
And there are now too many of us to "get us all."
And if they try, they will run out of bodies to do this suicidal work long before we will run out of resistance. It won't even be close. So they will go with famine, but also have to take down the grid, and of course creator Al Gore's "internet." For most of us, this will be "The Flag Going Up."
Remember your Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
WOW, you! I'm so pleased, because you sound like ME. I'm right there with ya. It's not often I come across others, even on SS, that have thoughts that align so well with my own. Nice to meet you. I'm never going to lie down, and I have not only one baseball bat, but TWO!! woo hooo! ;) But seriously... Never Lie Down. We're the Guard Dogs.
TWH, my father-in-law was a Marine on Guadalcanal at 17 years old, in the first wave!
I, and damn few of us, could ever hope to equal his legacy. Which included, among many others, Makin, Tarawa, Kwajalein, Palau, Saipan, Guam, Peleliu, Leyte, Luzon, Okinawa in World War II, Pusan Perimeter, Seoul, Inchon, Chosin, among others in the Korean War, and then he was a Red Cross Field Director in VietNam (undercover) and that work is still classified!
At the Chosin Reservoir his actions so distinguished him they were going to give him the Silver Star, he refused it and said "Give it to the medics, they deserve it so much more." They did!
But, I will not let his memory or patriotism be dishonored, not by these Communists, or any other Communists, Fascists, Socialists, or Satanists.
So pleased to meet you, my good friend.
If we never meet in this life, I assure you we will in the next.
I look forward to the time, and I can't imagine it will be in MY time, but you never know, when war becomes a memory. That said, the brave men and women who go to defend their countries and their beliefs, who are trying to do Right, have my everlasting respect. Those who profit from the loss of lives will never come close to that kind of courage, or selfless service for a good cause. Whether that cause was truly the reason for war or not, those who believed in that cause were honest and honorable. Your father-in-law was that kind of man. And whether we're soldiers or teachers or medics or writers or whatever, of an honest profession, let us all strive to live in these times with an eye to the courage of those who came before us. We, too, will be tested, I believe. I hope I can live up to the standard. I'm just an artist with a big mouth, but I try to be truthful, and I am ready to do what I can for Democracy and Freedom and Truth. Onward!
My hometown. Area though is crazy quilt. Affluent libs and conservative military retirees.
I have friends remaining. All too ultra liberal but one out of 4.

More surveillance.

After a month, they put an "old meter" back in.
Don't "give in" or "give up."
Like I said on Dr. Colleen's Sub.

They're trying to keep the fear up... It's a proven useful tool... still working on a helluva a lot of people.

Maybe we met in the last one... ;)
