The challenge is how to spread such a meme effectively, powerfully. Then perhaps there'd be a hope that people would take up arms against their owners, or at least in defence of their families (I've posted the post Hurricane Katrina illegal weapons confiscations by federal military - no one, NO ONE failed to give up their arms (although TBH I cannot of course speak to those who denied they had any guns in their respective home - would love to see some true stories of humans with spines, balls and ovaries!)) And since Credit River Decision, no judge will take up a ruling against the banks. And since the machine gun slaughter of the early unionists, as you hint at above, all unions have fallen to infiltration/ corruption in relatively short order. FUCK it's a fucked up world!
