I think here in America, people are conditioned from Hollywood that the good guys always win in the end. Yes thereโs examples in the world of peaceful independence movements. But thereโs also examples of dictators ruling and oppressing their citizens for generations, before finally getting toppled.

Iโm not trying to oppose you. I actually agree, the table is nowhere in sight, and nobodyโs even on their way over to have dinner at said table. So then, who, and how, do we overcome the facist takeover weโre currently in the middle of?

Are we facing a similar threat to world peace and progress today? It feels like weโre tossing paper airplanes against a heavily armed fascist regime, and theyโre bringing the fight to us with no regard for morality and no desire for peace. Iโm not sure how else such a threat can be overcome.

Iโm not saying I want war. I wish we could have a free and fair country to live in, and I wish it could be achieved peacefully. But a civil war of sorts, could be inevitable at some point. Nazi Germany required a violent response eventually, when more peaceful tactics failed.

I donโt advocate murder or violence. But I feel like the Kirk shooting, and Luigi Mangione, inspire more meaningful discussion, growth, and unity. I havenโt read your books, but Iโve also thought for years weโre already in, or well on track, for a civil war. But I think we might need it actually.

And thanks for replying. Iโm not claiming to have the answers. I just know the situation is bad, the resistance to fascism is fractured, off track, and lacking in meaningful leadership. I only really count a handful of politicians who actually represent people over corporations. We need a LOT more.

For the sake of conversation, this advise is with the ultimate intention of trying to bring things back to โhow they were before Trumpโ isnโt it? A lot of people arenโt satisfied with that either. Even without Trump and before this current racism, our country has been going downhill quickly.
