Perhaps some-day in the future, but I fully intend to live to see our day of triumph, so... Peace is off the table. And frankly, civil war is the *best* out of all of the bad options for *everyone involved*, even them. We get to avoid genocide. We get to unite for a common cause - the shining torch of liberty. They get to burn their violent and reckless youth on war, while also eating their own tail and consuming their weak, their downtrodden, and their poor. *obviously* we're on the right side, and they will begin to realize that eventually. We must not fall into barbarism, but frankly I'm not concerned about that.

Unless you're arguing about minutia like semantics of laws, the justice of a resolution is self apparent. This predictability allows people to make long term plans for the future, and can allow for the possibility of rehearsing large organized movements and patterns before the actual execution stage, which ideally happens when the audience is in their seats. If it were a revolution outdoors tomorrow, every door in America would be knocked on. The festivities would extend to every street, celebrating our newfound liberation. Like winning a war, or even just ending one. We don't often see that kind of celebration anymore but... I believe it's more important than catharsis - to walk down every street all at once. It is important to be seen, heard, and to be ready to say "alright here's what we're doing next." most people are just people who don't know anything about nothing. I am just a girl and I don't know anything. Like a sharpened diamond yearning to cut the edge off by getting crossfaded and dulled with drugs and isolation. Why? Why would she do that?

It doesn't matter the intention, those responsible should be forced to cease their actions. I don't care about punishment, I care about damage to the fabric of our society. Take, for example, the fact that the military is struggling to find recruits. So many of them typically come from the right half of the political spectrum because the right tends to favor the ideals of "honorable warriors" and such. But Fox News has corrupted that. In addition, the left half of the media has also incited hatred amongst ourselves. It's wrong to pit brother against brother, and yet... We have a weak series of generations and that's okay in times of peace. But times of peace are coveted abroad, and weakness is opportunity. So I don't care if we have 10,000 tanks. Hell, build ten thousand more. I despise war, but I despise weakness even more because weakness begets war. Typically, a war that you'd be losing, though frankly in war, everyone loses. There are grevious mistakes at play that gave room for evil to spread. Corruption follows, and with it comes our greatest generation on its death bed. A civil war would be the end of us, as nothing stops war in the imperial core until there's nothing but ashes and bloodshed. And yet, something has to change. There's too much pressure for this to go on un-abated. I thank the masterful statesmen who ply their trade for their own profit, for in their profit our peace does follow. Alas, the most profitable venture is war, which often gets exported. How callous, how vain, to exert and call forth fiery rain, and yet the bullets keep leaving the factory. Power corrupts. Power accretes. And power can be deceived. Fuck power, dismantle the whole apparatus. Build it back up from the mechanics, and then implement it bit by bit.
