First they came for the Communists, I said nothing, because Communists are tyrannical filth
Then they came for the Socialists, and I said nothing, because Socialists are simply Communists who haven't started shooting people yet
Then they came for me, and they rued the day; I am an American from the Jacksonian tradition, and I bear arms. I, too, understand decapitation strategy, and I am legion.
Heheh... yeah that's what so many of these people don't get. Those of us with guns, we don't go out protesting and interfacing with these people regularly.
It's not just my guns. I spent a huge chunk of my life thinking of martial arts (training in quite a few but not particularly skilled at any). I can find weapons almost anywhere. Many things look like weapons to me. I also don't punch people in the face, stomach, etc. I punch people in places you shouldn't punch people unless you want to put them into a hospital or a morgue.
The first rule of my training from the best instructors was to not put yourself into a situation where you need to use the training.
Which I don't. Yet if they truly push the people like me and try to take our rights away and they come for people like me (and you) the hospitals and graveyards will overflow.
On one hand, I hate saying things like that. I really just want to be left alone.
On the other, (as we talked about yest'day), there has to be pushback to the ideas the do-gooders and the corruptocrats put forth in public...many of these people honestly believe that their tyranny is justice
If it ever comes to that... I'm not marching in any stupid lines or such... no more civil war, revolutionary war linear combat being honorable, etc. If I am at that point I care about survival, lining up and grouping up so we're easy to target is just a stupid mans game where they let other jerks move them around like little lead army men.
And yeah... I believe in the NAP, so it is something I resort to in defense of my family, friends, etc.
As long as we are not threatened it would be really hard to convince me to go against the NAP as I believe very strongly in it.
I really do need to study the NAP; it has been brought up so often, and I haven't really looked at it...
Is this summary correct?
Basically that can work.
NAP = Non-Aggression Principle. Keyword Aggression. Completely willing to defend ourselves AND our property and if they are like me and pushed to that point I'll do my damnedest to end it as quickly and directly as possible.
If someone directed them to come at me I'd consider that person fair game too. Leave me and my family alone and you're totally safe.
the person that made the decsion to target you; yes, that is morally sound
His character in the Patriot basically followed the NAP. They came for his family and killed one of his kids and basically all hell broke loose.
As far as decapitation strategy. I am not familiar with the term, but I have a sinister feeling that I know exactly what it means and it is exactly what I'd do.
Ignore the front line and go straight for those calling the shots and directing the zombies.
Exactly; it's where we have our greatest successes against terrorists and cartels...and thus we don't use it as often as we should /smh
I have an entire section of my database "devoted" to it; if you are interested, I can list you some references. The concept is going to be the subject of a future post anyhows...
Let me know when you make them.
War between huge armies is games for jack asses higher up. The world would be much more peaceful if those who want WAR would just directly fight each other and leave the rest of the people out of it. :)
Yet they say that's not "honorable". Yet killing hundreds, thousands, millions rather than taking out a couple of people is somehow "honorable".
Let the professionals and the ideologues fight it out; I think I could get behind that.
I don't really understand the evolutionary flow of mass conscription in military history beyond saying it's what humanity has done forever and a day; even in those cultures where only professionals fought, thy fought it on top of some dumb unfortunate farmer's land...I really do think there is more to it than corruptocrat manipulation of society, but I wouldn't bet on that judgement either
Population control, land grabs, etc. Consider land vaccuums left behind from dead soldiers. Free for the taking. Those most deserving of being put to the sword rarely set foot on any battlefield until long after the war when they are dividing the spoils.
there are sociopaths who do think in those terms
but there also highly aggressive folks and extroverts
I'm strating to drift off, so this isnt fully developed, but the earliest warlords were just robber barons...they HAD to put themselves on the front of the battle, and from what i've read, most of them liked it there
at some point the sociopaths take over the leadership roles
there is also chevauchee, total war before grant did it to the South. produtive property and humanity destroyed simply to deny acess to the enemy, not even to control it (think SJW ere)
This thought isnt coming togehter, so I'm going to leave it here; I know where I want to take it, but not how to get there and I'm gonna turn in. there is a post out of this
gnight!
