We're Not About to Live in This Mass Delusion
Standin' on the edge of a revolution.
We’re all sick of it. We all want to do something.
We were all (in America, at least) raised on stories of men who launched a noble revolution for freedom and independence. And freedom and independence are exactly what we want.
For those who missed it, however, I have argued strenuously that bloody revolution is not the way to go. Indeed, I don’t think I have ever driven a point home more thoroughly:
We Won't Be Launching a Violent Revolution
It Would Be Hypocritical to Impose Our Will on Others
Who Would Be the Targets in a Revolution?
Is This Who We Want to Become?
Practical Problems with Revolutions
Chaos and Violence and Anger, Oh My
Seven Reasons Conservatives Are Unlikely to Start a Revolution
That being said, does a revolution have to be bloody? Can it be peaceful? Mental? Social? There are lots of different ways of thinking about it.
Based on the lyric “‘Cause it’s time we relied on the last solution,” I suspect that Nickelback is thinking in conventional terms. But that’s fine—it’s an understandable sentiment.
And this is a kick-ass song, and sometimes, that’s enough.
Besides, the rest of the lyrics are spot on, as is the song’s feeling of angry determination. So enjoy, add it to your playlist, and happy #FreedomMusicFriday!
PS: Speaking of freedom music, Tesstamona’s latest drops today.
It does seem we are living in a computer screen life, where no one in charge has responsibility for what they do or have done. A for instance, forcing dangerous untested chemical injections into billions of people’s arms with no real informed consent, killing millions and horrifically injuring ten of millions more. How about forcing masks on kids, not only kids but 6 month old babies. We’re supposed to say oh ok, yah well what are you going to do. Closing schools driving down kids IQ’s. How about all the children raped by wealthy pigs, oh that’s a hoax, there’s nothing there but 100 pages of nothing. Move along, put it behind you. Cash your 600 dollar check and shut the F up! This is what communists do, you must swallow the lies or be prosecuted for thoughts against the party. In this day of computers the party has some problems, things tend to happen much faster these days. I’m sure if the communist come back to power, over the next 5-10 years we will look at the Epstein crimes and those files as if they were nothing.
Revolution? Non-violent? As a distributed nation I think such has a chance. However if with those in control you you beg to differ from a fix abode (Branch Davidians, Ruby Ridge, Heemeyer's hell dozer, etc., etc., etc.) you'll get your story told but you won't grow old.
Distributed however, careful who you talk to how, fair exchange beyond the range of enforcers, tip your hat as your betters pass by but still make whiskey on the sly, give unto Caesar grudgingly, niggardly, many yous and mes, separated by miles and miles of miles and miles, from sea to shining sea and then some seasteads maybe, save well more than a bit for a rainy day and we just might make it through the deep dark tunnel past that light we see therein, which is an oncoming train.
Non-violent, it just might work but s I said earlier speak softy but carry a Desert Eagle, or as Christopher prefers, a 1911.
Oh, and a parenthetical aside Christopher , free sage advice well worth every cent you paid for it; (As you said you're selling your Montanaaa property, do buy a remote plot closer though, way up in the hills up 27 switchbacks to get there. Always good to have a plan B and a plot D!) ;-)
