What should a rebellion look like?
Well, for one, a good rebellion in this day and age must be leaderless.
Our leaders are so good at infiltrating any group which threatens their kleptocracy that it’s important that the rebellion not have a leader who can sway the followers to move down unproductive blind alleys.
If you are member of a rebellion, it’s a good bet that your group has been infiltrated.
It’s not hard to do as your movement is too small.
It is a mosquito on an elephant’s ass.
The government will have no trouble at all paying men to betray you.
What else?
The rebellion must prosecute a positive philosophy which will replace the old, decaying, corrupted ways which now rule.
If the rebellion only exists to overthrow the powers that be while leaving the rotten philosophy to thrive, then in short order those powers will return.
The philosophy must be workable and sane. The problem with the French Revolution was that the Jacobins had too many insane ideas.
They were not satisfied with just doing a few things right. They got carried away with re-organizing the daily calendar.
And of course a little retribution. Ha ha.
The new philosophy must stand in contrast to the methodologies and philosophies that are fueling the current corruption.
At the heart of an Empire are the corrupt behaviors of greed, distrust, intolerance and domination.
A good rebellion should embrace the antithesis of these behaviors.
Individuals participating in the rebellion should exhibit trust, tolerance, moderation of greed, and the desire to share power.
Valuation and respect for the individual are attendant virtues.
Of course, noble virtues won’t convince the elites who possess no desire to be moral.
The immoral elites will always be with you. They cannot be eliminated; they can only be contained by your beliefs.
In response to your efforts, the elites will play every dirty trick on the books to discredit you.
You must be ready for this.
And your response will be to not retaliate with steel.
The weapons you seek are not made of steel.
The weapons you seek are charity, tolerance, and trust.
These are the weapons that destroyed the Roman Empire.
These are the weapons that will destroy the American Empire.
The sooner this empire is destroyed, the better.
Sincerely,
