    Hopefully the silent majority proves me wrong but the way I see it, where we were vs where we are and the direction we’re headed...conservatives have already lost America. They’ve been silent too long. The socialists are in fact running things.

    As I just commented to some friends Up North:

    There is no compromising with these people, they want nothing less than literally absolute power over your life and even death, in every detail. If you're one of the Nomenklatura, no offense is too heinous for a pass because of the mythical Greater Good; for a mere Deplorable prole no misstep too small to be punished by the harshest measures against not just you but all your loved ones too and besides "the world is overpopulated and the herd needs thinning anyway." This is not just attacking us People Of The Gun on both sides of the border, it's a full frontal assault on the tapestry our cultures have woven from Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, English Common Law and assorted other traditions; indeed, a war on Western Civilization itself.

    The strategy thus far seems to be, “I don’t want a bloody civil war so let’s just tolerate the socialists agenda”...

    They've been running things for awhile. But we're giving them enough rope to hang themselves...

    I think it’s more like “If it’s just me fighting, it won’t be a civil war, it’ll just be me as an active shooter and I’ll throw my life away and I won’t solve anything. There’s no movement to join, so I have no choice but to tolerate the socialist agenda.”

    Everyone I talk to has made up their minds that now is the time to organize in defense of the constitution and the republic, just not taking direct action

    Precisely. In WWII terms, the time to get your Resistance cells organized and supplies cached is BEFORE the Wehrmacht's panzers come clanking across your border.

    There are certain things one just doesn't discuss in the clear for all to see on an Internet where the men are men, the 'women' are also men and the 'children' are undercover FBI or ATF agents... LOL

It's very hard to get the truth out. Hell, it's getting hard to even keep our history intact these days with them rewriting it as they see fit every chance they get... most often by force. It has effected our schools for years, and it's bringing in new recruits every day. They get on their phones, plan a riot, and within a few minutes a flash mob of violence washes over a targeted area. There is no Facebook, Twitter, or whatever for the conservative voice. Until there is a large, and widely used social media application similar to Facebook, but tolerant to conservatives... groups of patriot from different areas of the nation will never be able to coordinate, and work together as a team. Hell, I'd be happy if I could just follow the assholes to know when a "demonstration" is gonna be, so I could have warning if it was gonna be in my area.
    .
    I don't know if commo is specifically their advantage. They certainly have a leg up on psyops via social media channels. They are so coordinated with social media swarming, gaslighting, and messaging that it's scary. And the platforms tend to shut down dissenting voices. They have a win there.

    But when it comes to general networking and information distribution among their networks, I don't think they have a lock on it. There's nothing in the world stopping liberty-minded folks from starting up Slack channels, Discord servers, or utilizing any number of communications services to do the exact same thing. From my perspective, it's more a matter of motivation. The other side's foot soldiers tend to be younger and more versed in technology like that. Our side tends to sway older. Frankly, a lot of people on our side struggle with effectively using message boards like this, much less keeping up with a fast-paced synchronous communications app like Slack or Discord.

    And even if those shut us down, there's always learning how to effectively use the amateur radio bands. Of course, that means people actually have to get off their butts and start putting in work to learn and utilize real skills. Most people on our side can barely put in the effort to contribute a few bucks here or there to causes they care about, much less invest the time, learning, and funds required to communicate over HF.

    I think it’s more like “If it’s just me fighting, it won’t be a civil war, it’ll just be me as an active shooter and I’ll throw my life away and I won’t solve anything. There’s no movement to join, so I have no choice but to tolerate the socialist agenda.”

    IMO, this is where a lot of people are at. There are probably more than a few people who are at the breaking point where they're willing to grab a rifle and cause some chaos, but they're still logical enough to realize that going at it lone wolf in a single event is just going to get them labeled a madman and embolden the other side.

    Until there's some serious organization going on (which then refers back to point number one about networking and communication), we aren't there yet. Add to that, nobody with a lick of sense is going to advertise their activities and plans publicly. It's too easily infiltrated.

    Here’s a former SF that’s trying to organize. Who’s stepping up?
