Now that is an autonomous zone I can support.

I think that we should start a global autonomous zone.

New York City is waking up fast. Things are not good in the city, and the corruption and propaganda is becoming evident even for the blind.

People are starting to realize we allow the authority to enforce it's authority; in other words, we give them power by playing their game and saying "yes". People are starting to realize this power is an illusion, and fades when everyone says "no". No violence is needed. Just "no".

The ATF needs abolished entirely and its function explicitly forbidden in the Constitution. Even though it is already forbidden in the Constitution in the part where it says "all other powers" and assignes them to the states and the poeple.

The federal government only has the powers explicitly given to it in the Constitution.

Meanwhile... in the real world, the constitution is just an old scrap of paper that no one in authority aside from a few judges even regard anymore. The constitution only had value when there were people willing to rise up with Arms and defend it. There are none of those people left, just people talking about defending it and talk is worthless against tyranny.

There is an old saying, "You can't fight city hall" and I fully expect it will play out this time too. I have learnt throughout life that's it's much easier to change your sail than to fight against the wind. These stands against injustice, in the face of overwhelming power, are just exercises in futility. They might make the rank and file happy for a day or two but the people involved will get screwed to the wall for it.

The fight, if there ever was one, was lost a long long time ago. The smart ones with means have fled the country, others have moved well away from major population centers, up into the boonies where things like covid rules are ignored and mandatory vaccinations will be sneered at. In my own little town the rules were posted at the local supermarket but even the staff ignored them. They were just posted to keep the roving health officials happy. When the Nazi party took Germany into a holocaust you could have moved up near the Swiss border and lived life just as before. No bombing raids, no Gestapo roundups, no burning of books.

People never learn from history and in so doing are doomed to repeat it. Just get the Fuck Out of the city, up near mountains, and you'll do OK.

Is it called sanctuary bar? Sanctuarception? If Dems can import ballot signers can a bar owner use the same method to survive the actual dictatorship?

I thought the New York Bar Association was making the "autonomous zone" statement.

It was too good to be true.

New York needs Larry Sharpe. Cuomo is garbage.
