Yeah man I hear ya. I think my point still stands. Of course I'm just going off what I can see everyday in my part of the world and on my travels. I see weakness. I see fake tough guys, that's what I see. I'm sure you're every bit of what you say you are, I know I am, so I get it, but a wounded warrior t-shirt and a long beard does not a man make. No offense, I know actual veterans can be quite different, but I'm talking about numbers here. Actual get in the street numbers, and I'll bet they're low. Really low.

Your everyday typical "redneck", the guys I'm talking about above, they're gonna fold like a chair if the shit hits the fan. I meet these guys all the time. Same poser who wore an American Flag gaiter over his mouth and nose at the grocery as if he was making some fucking statement.

I dress like a golfer and I have more ammo, live more sustainably, and will die on my feet without hesitation over a vast majority of the population. I'm not willing to trade my liberty for anything. And I think a lot of the guys that say this out loud don't mean it. I watched them fold over Covid. I watched it. I live in a very red part of a very red state and I watched it.

Hey man maybe I'm wrong, and I hope I am. I think we're talking in different contexts here. I tend to think of these things in numbers, numbers that will actually mean something, and I just don't see it. Too many fat, slobby, out of shape, manbun wearing, fake t-shirt wearing, sissy boys is what I see. Useless with no line in the sand.
