Robespierre led a Revolution and then his own revolution killed him (thus ending the revolution, mercifully). I mean sinking barges full of people in the river is Terrorizing, no matter how right a revolution thinks it is.

Also, so many people calling for "revolution" are either shills or other black hats.

A friend of a friend (and every time that friend brings that friend around I always cringe and ask why) was rattling on today about how Russia wants to destabilize the US and wouldn't it be terrible if the Russians installed a puppet government and the US became allies with Russia and, and, and...

I hate to paint all leftists with the same brush but jesus do people like that give them a bad name. I can only imagine what a terrible world it would be if the US and Russia were allies... /s But the left is absolutely the one bootstepping the US toward tyranny right now. Maybe it's simply the job of party out of power to do that.

Anyway, glad I get to come here and vent, even that's probably no better an idea, but at least when I hear this shit IRL I get to just smile and say, "Nope," and then they just look at me all weird like why don't I want what they want.

A friend of mine the other day told me I should listen to the Beatles and I told another friend of mine that and we had a good laugh. But maybe I should just carry around a little tape of the Beatles' Revolution and play it every time someone says some crazy political shit to me (which is basically all of it these days).

I notice a lot of the people calling for a revolution always do the communist hand gesture or sometimes, the mao hand gesture, where two hands are raised as fists. And socialism seems like a great alternative because of the propagandizing of our youth but as we know, no matter the change in system, the elites will still be at its helm.

But the left is absolutely the one bootstepping the US toward tyranny

The right is too!

And the left and right axis term mean nothing. Our state, whether a Rebuplican administration or Democrat administration has signed executive orders, covert presidential policy directives that completely collectivize farming and state monopolize telecommunications, transportation etc,. They are not in use but they are all written into law and will be used when a revolution comes or when the economy collapses, unintentional or not.

From the 9/11 false flag demolitions, to the increasing suviellance apparatus, from the NDAA 2012 passed by Obama and Trump, to the Patriot act, the DHS PSYOPS, the SMith Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, all of these bills are just the hairbinger rto tyranny. And a mock democracy always leads to tyranny eventually.

Of course a cozy relationship with Russia would not be bad at all, even if she is authoritarian. The reason? Because the future will be a multilateral economic order with Russia, China, Iran, teh Middleeast and Israel at the helm. If we try to fight them we will end up a third world country. If we create a geopolitical friendship and get a stake in the Belt Road Inititive, at least we will not be left in the dust. But the geographics do not really allign with Europe nor the BRIC countries who will benefit from the Belt Road Inititive. Europe would rather get her energy from the east than have the US bring LNG over by ship.

Well, I don't know if you're a shill but you're spewing ad hominems. Why am I a so called centrist and dirt bag. Which kind of dirt am I?

Where I come from, dirtbag centrist is a compliment, not an ad hominem. I’m sorry you misunderstood, internet fren.
