Tyranny government7/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Instead we now have politicians whose main goal is to take money from the people who earn it and give it to people who don’t. Welfare should be a safety net for people who need some temporary help. The USA was never meant to be an anarchistic, every man for himself nation, but it wasn’t supposed to be collectivist either. Welfare and most other government functions were to be left to states or lower levels. The founders’ vision was of a federal government that could protect the people from threats they couldn’t counter themselves, like foreign invasion. The US political tradition is individualist and capitalist. What sort of political ideas do you need to look out for? In a word, collectivism. So the way to fight tyranny is to look for the sort of political ideas that can lead to it, then use our votes and our powers as citizens to keep them out of power. Yes, even socialists think they’re helping the people, or would be if the stupid people would sit still and let themselves be helped. Because here’s the really scary thing about tyrants – most of them really believe what they’re doing is in their country’s best interests. What’s most likely is that we elect a president who genuinely means well, then drifts into tyranny when their ideas don’t work out. Of course, we’re not going to deliberately elect one, and the chances are we won’t elect one who’s pretending to be a normal politician either. The only way a tyrant can sit in the White House is to be voted into it. The idea that the UN has a secret military force powerful enough to overthrow us is a laughable fantasy. No coup launched from within our military or government is going to succeed in the face of our loyal soldiers and Marines. No foreign nation is powerful enough to invade us and impose a dictator. If a tyrant takes power in this country it’s going to be a tyrant we elected. There’s an even better way to fight a dictatorship in the USA, and that’s to start fighting before that dictatorship even exists – in fact, start right now.

The truth is, if America descends into tyranny we can – we must – resist the tyrant, but we’ll struggle to defeat him. Do you really think a tyrant will share our president’s concern with avoiding needless civilian deaths? I don’t. That’s with the incredibly restrictive rules of engagement imposed by a democratic US government, too. They can murder American soldiers, but the US-backed government still rules Afghanistan and our soldiers dominate the country. Secondly, they’re still not doing all that well. First, the Taliban have much heavier weapons than that – they’re well supplied with machineguns, RPGs, rockets and even light artillery. We often hear people say “Well, the Taliban are doing pretty well with old rifles,” but this isn’t really true. Tanks, attack helicopters and combat aircraft can’t be defeated with the sort of weapons available to the public. ![]() The government has an array of incredibly powerful weapons at its disposal that an armed citizenry can’t hope to match. ![]() Most fighting was done with swords, muskets and cannon, and an organized citizens’ militia could bring a lot more of those to the battlefield than the government could. When our nation’s founders wrote the Second Amendment it wasn’t actually all that hard for an armed populace to defeat the government. That speaks to a strong American tradition of resisting tyranny – but we need to be realistic here. We try to be prepared to survive any situation we find ourselves in, and for most of us one of the scenarios we plan for is life under a tyrannical government. ![]()
