So I have dropped a new episode of my podcast. Chaos doesn't enter the university because people stop believing in truth; it enters because the system stops letting truth decide.

Ok...

If you were wondering where the US regime found their internal oppression & lies blueprint, take a read of the Statement from the U.K. Govt after the Bloody Sunday massacre in Derry.

600
Population is approximately 150,000
Yeah the Americans really care, so outraged

And yet....

Oh yeah that'll really stop them. Maybe if they dress up as inflatable frogs? We all remember how that brought down the Nazis? Maybe if they send thoughts and prayers?

He's empowered by a combination of a large chunk of the country loving what he's doing, a much larger chunk actively and passively indifferent.

I don't think the American people are ever going to rise up. Far too many of them love the taste of the boot. Many more are completely economically crushed. In every revolution it's when the middle start to get hit and they're not there yet

It's great to see how effective thoughts and prayers are in curbing The ongoing assault on human rights in the United States. They were so effective in sorting out their school shooting problem.

Yeah it's..

Thoughts and prayers. What they need to send are about 100 people carrying automatic weapons standing there exercising their second amendment rights that Americans have cosplayed as being something fundamental to their culture for decades

That's not scalable

No I'm not minimizing the Holocaust. Yes I am pointing out that this is the end state

Americans are sitting there giving thoughts AND prayers, writing quite stern emails to their local Congress creature, occasionally dressing up in inflatable costumes
