Will this be the Future of powerlifting?

[Silentlemon1011]

I also believe
@Worf is 100% on this.

Political parties arent the enemy.
Certain super powerful are.

Think about it

Where do you go for more power when you own universities.
When you have more billions than you can spend in a lifetime?
Sinple, you become a feudal lord.

Communism and socialism allows this.
The rich are as good as living gods.

At first its
"Free healthcare for everyone"
"Minimum living wage"
"Take their guns to keep us safe!"

Theb the money runs out.

You have no guns.
There is only one party.
You get zero vote.
With no way to stop it.

Then other peoples money runs out.
Healthcare is cash now.
Everything is cash, EI is cut off.
Welfare ceases to exist, it's just not in the budget.

BUT
The super rich party members now control everything, they decide who has guns.. they decide who fails or wins.

Think I'm crazy?

Vietnam
China
USSR
Venezuela
Cuba

It's a fucking LITERAL playbook.

This is nothing new.

The rich arent happy enough being rich.
They want to become Oligarchs.

I'm all about capitalism.
People could make the argument that I have too many houses, I have too many assets.

But the rich have ZERO business controlling out ELECTED officials.

People can say I'm a conspiracy theorist..
Okay

But history shows otherwise.
Its a step by step history lesson we are living in RIGHT NOW.

I'd take up arms against my government. I don't know about anyone else but authoritarian ruling isn't something I subscribe to. You want my guns, take them. You come to take them? Better bring all of your friends. You're going to need them.

I don't say these words lightly.

I'm not too sure about the rest of the country but in this area there are large groups of people, both Democrat and Republican, that would happily and quite easily stand side by side and defend their right to keep and bear arms.

I am from one of the most conservative towns in my state, maybe even the most. It's predominantly blue collar, self employed businesses and probably one Dunkin donuts per 100 residents (welcome to new England). This town alone would have thousands defending the 2nd amendment. My family will provide 6 able bodies to the civil war and would gladly leave countless dead bodies on the ground to soak the earth with blood.

If I die, if my entire family does, so be it. I walk through Concord and Lexington from time to time. We have rich history here. It's almost a little easy to overlook how much history this area has when you grow up here. I recently was on a project in Lexington center, A visitor center/museum. The names of men who stood in the face of tyranny and died to protect their freedom is forever engrained in this countries history, carved into stone for as long as the stone can retain that information. Effort comes in many varieties, and sometimes effort will get you killed.

The fear of death is scary to me. One of the only things that can actually shake me to my core. But it's the way and content of a death that makes it that way. Alone in a bed dying of sickness? In a car accident? Covid? All terrifying to me. Standing up for my God and my country and my rights? Standing up for the groundwork that built the foundation of my country? No fear, no hesitation, no regrets, no questions.

Do not forget that America is a constitutional republic. We were built on a framework called the constitution. We were regarded as savages and outlaws when this was drafted. We were being mistreated by a government years before this was drafted, and us savages made them pay dearly.

Come and take my guns.

Taking a life is pretty damn brutal. The basic human instinct is to avoid this at all costs. In your case as well as mine that decision was made long before such a event occurs . Unless people make their minds up LONG before they are put in that situation, they won't do shit! Unless people take the time, in their minds to draw their line in the sand, they won't know when or how to act. They will boil like frogs, constantly saying I will let this go a bit further and so on and so on until any "action " they take will be useless and futile.

The fear of death is scary to me as well! Especially having a young son and hopefully another in the next while. I would still rather have someone explain to him that I DID something when I could! As opposed to have to explain myself that I could've done something and didn't have the moral fortitude to follow through.

The US constitution is a wonderful thing. Very much worth protecting! It should have laid the groundwork for free societies to flourish around the world.

Now our problem is the that no reasonable person has yet to verbalize what conditions require force in large groups. Also communication is controlled by Google, Facebook ect. No viable option has come in to offer a alternative. How is truth to be spread and communicated?

I’ve gotten some hilarious reactions—and a few arguments—because I’ve refused to wear a mask or make my family wear one. I haven’t worn a mask once during this whole “epidemic”. Coincidentally, I haven’t met anyone with corona either... hmm.

had one old bitch at Walmart ask me “where’s your mask??” In an incredibly rude way... Before I could say anything, my wife told her to fuck off. I’ve never been more proud.

-Another trip to the same store, had some lady in a cloth mask literally back away from us like we had the plague LMAO. with fear in her eyes. It was hilarious.

being a libertarian, I completely support this.
Liberty > EVERYTHING.

I'm far from a reasonable person so I know where my thoughts are in the big

It's gotta be a mixed bag up your way with the masks? I was working up in Maine and about half of the residents didn't give a shit about it. They have to wear face coverings and it's just not happening for a large group of them. Nobody does much because it's such a large portion of the people that are doing it, kinda like "come and arrest us all" type mentality.

It’s about 75:25 over here. Most people are still sheep. Though, I was talking to one of the ER nurses when I had my surgery and she was telling me that the media has hyped a lot of the problems...She said that here in Albany wasn’t hit heart as bad as what people are led to believe.
