This ex-military guy wrote this Twitter thread. All the fantasy tough guys should read it before grabbing your next bag of Cheetos.
Are you calling for civil war?
Youâve clearly never seen what civil war can wreak, because you donât want that shit for your people.
You canât handle wearing a mask for a few minutes, but you think youâll be fine when power goes out, telecommunications are cut?
You think it will be fun hiking to the nearest semi uncontaminated water source because waterâs been knocked out and your shitter hasnât flushed in a month? Youâll be ok waiting in line with thousands of others for food while hoping a bomb didnât drop off target and hit you?
Every one of you thinks youâll be the tough warlord while youâre at best likely to end up as someoneâs supply mule, forced to cough up whatever youâve scraped up to some badder thug than you, because 99.9% chances are you ainât the top dog
You think youâll be ok because youâve got a bunch of guns and youâve been training, but what happens to your kids, your mom combattant family? No matter how tough things can be now, theyâll be a thousand times worse for everyone if SHTF.
Looking for a place to stay alive in February when your house is a bombed out husk or has been burnt to the ground is fucking awesome, trust me.
Think youâre too well prepared and that wonât happen to you and your family? Check out the civil wars that have happened in other countries in the past 20 years. A 2.0 will be just as bad or worse.
You may think you want that. To live your little adventure sticking it to libs or whatever, but reality will hit you in the face like a sledge hammer at some point, and youâll realize that this is all way more than you bargained for.
If you think you have nothing to lose, I guarantee youâll look back and realize how much you had and just tossed it into Americaâs funeral pyre so that you could satisfy a fantasy rather than dealing with reality.
So that you could do everything Americaâs enemies have been praying and pushing for America to do: tear itself apart. Because that is the only way it can be defeated.
Youâre a patriot that wants America to be strong and relevant? Then donât let it come to this, because the biggest loser will be America, and youâll be handing victory to those enemies on a silver platter.
I'm glad this thread is resonating.
I don't have a SoundCloud, but remember that climate change amplifies all the issues that lead to conflict and has led to the collapse of many mighty civilizations in the past.
It's a national security imperative to address it.
Presenting my excuses to all my brothers and sisters in arms commenting on here. This thread has blown up and I donât have time to write to each of you. Thank you so much for your response & your input.
You all have important stories to tell to help bring the national conversation back to reality and help bring people back from the edge of the chasm we are edging toward.
The original tweet:
Well said and true for sure. Many trumpers are not able to see the big picture that you have just outlined in very understandable language. You pointed out the scenario that will definitely unfold if they carry out their threats of violence.
I watched citizens get attacked for simply wearing a MAGA cap. Go fuck yourself.
Does that mean that you are going to get even? 2 wrongs? Fuck you. Those "MAGA" hats that you wear
when you attend your armed "non-violent" protests tell a different story and are inciteful, which is exactly what you want.
Hats are inciteful?
Maybe y'all should learn to control your emotions. No one else is obligated to do it for you.
No, your approach is inciteful. Maybe you should learn to control your actions instead of threatening
violence and looking for trouble.
Pot meet kettle. Wearing a hat is not an incitement to violence. The fact that people, like you, decide that the 1st Amendment no longer applies to you is the problem.
Wearing a hat, in itself, is not an incitement for violence. The fact that people, like you, "protest"
while armed and shouting threats AND wearing trump hats is the problem. Tells a story.
So you think only the left has the protection of the 1st amendment? Of what you complained about, what do you not consider perfectly legal?
I don't care about the protection of the first amendment. Did I say that the left is entitled to first amendment protection? Where did I say that? Nobody is entitled to behave in a warlike manner in my opinion. Did the first amendment allow for arms, threats, intimidation? Behave yourself.
I realize that trump is egging you on, but he is an anarchist who wants an autocracy with him as the dictator. That won't happen, nor should it happen. You are easily conned.
"Nobody is entitled to behave in a warlike manner in my opinion."
That's your problem. You have a wildly inflated notion about the value of your opinion. Our system is based on law and the Constitution; not the whims of your opinion. You are the anarchist and wannabe dictator when you insist that your whims should carry the force of law. If I am easily conned it is certainly not by the likes of you.
Our system is based on laws, yes. Not trump's system. My whims? No, my opinion is not a whim.
I am not in the process of perpetrating a con on you, pal. However, you and your ilk are easily conned
by trump who is a pro at it.
