This news report got it backwards. 12 million people having a street takeover needs to happen. Gridlock the state capitals and DC. Bring hot dogs and BBQs. Stay there until we have a new government. Emergency elections. An updated constitution. Old gov't -deleted. #50plus1

Explain the 3.5% rule of protesting.

The 3.5% rule (or “3.5 percent rule”) is a finding from political science research on civil resistance: historically, no government has withstood a challenge in which at least 3.5% of the population actively participated in a peak nonviolent event (such as a mass demonstration or other form of mass noncooperation). Once that threshold is reached, the campaign has almost always succeeded in achieving its maximalist goals (typically regime change or territorial independence).<grok:render card_id="...

Freedom is formless. It flows where it will. It does not fit neatly into left or right, red or blue, or any other box.

War is serious. So when the USA goes to war, officials should be embedded. 535 members of Congress, the Supreme Court Judges, the President, and the 50 Governors. On the ships, with the troops, front row view. We can pause our political stuff until the war is over.

The solution is to have a Federal government so small it hardly matters who is in charge.

The answer isn’t getting the right person into power. The answer is limiting power so that the person doesn’t matter.

Capitalism requires guns for defense precisely because it's a system that protects individual rights. The right to life, liberty, and property means nothing if criminals and tyrants can violate them with impunity. Capitalism relies on persuasion and voluntary trade. Force is justified only in response to those who initiate it. Your argument amounts to claiming that a peaceful society shouldn't need police because everyone should be persuaded not to commit crimes. That's an argument against reality, not capitalism. Socialism is guns on offense.

If capitalism were truly persuasive as a system of governance, it would never need any guns for offense or defense. All that would be needed for capitalism to survive is a pen. History has shown that capitalism is not persuasive without guns.

Boomers: People are too sensitive and need to toughen up. Millennials: People need to care more and help each other out. Gen X: Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
