Raw take thread: Liberty folk operate on first principles which is noble and right but also handicaps them; it limits them and makes them predictable while fighting a system that plays dirty and has no incentive to reform. Evil has an easier time creating a power differential
I say Liberty folk because I am disregarding the Libertarian Party position; I'm all for a diverse approach just know there's no political solution when it comes to a system that doesn't follow its own rules and still requires opponents to use sanctioned solutions
We also have an issue with Barnum statements and personal interpretation; there's no consensus on what liberty means, what violence means and what self-defense looks like
Solutions: 1. Truly know we are in an asymmetrical information war with various factions vying for power who are not above false flags and hoaxes or physical harm. This is not hyperbole
2. Recognize where people are at; the best we can aim for is for people to understand what liberty is; not just freedom as a concept but actual autonomy to control one's destiny in life. We call for a truce at minimum, we can debate personal preferences later
3. Understand human behavior and recognize no group is exempt from drama or error. Best we can do is know the truth and anticipate dram and error and mitigate it. Right now we're lied to about basic things which perpetuates this mess
4. We're balancing a lot here; trying to maintain the integrity of our values while also trying to understand the opposition while also in self-defense mode. How do you fight a system while trying to navigate it and avoid feeding it, but a system that has monopolized everything?
5. Pay attention to the plethora ways the system tries to control us because that is the litmus test of what they think of us. The control is deep; they control narratives, propaganda, gives us heroes and villains. They even give us people that fight the system
6. Avoid binary thinking; just because someone gets banned doesn't mean they were right. Just because someone stays on a platform doesn't mean they are controlled.
7. Skeptics better get conspiratorial quick; not everything is a conspiracy but to ignore the tools of the system is to your own detriment. The controllers believe in astrology, geomancy, gematria, religions etc. Get familiar with them
8. Try on different perspectives when analyzing information; I ask "what occult significance does this have?" "who benefits from this?" "How does it fit into control?"
9. I believe that history is cyclical not because of determinism; but because of a repeated playbook of control along with the inertia of repeated human behavior
10. Be the best version of you; you can't fight effectively if you're not
11. Multiple, sophisticated attacks require multiple approaches. If you can swing it let's try different things at once
12. The non-physical approach is to divest time, attention and resources. Bitcoin is part of this (no I don't think it's the only solution or an organic grassroots creation.) It's still on the table. Support small business and network on the net but in IRL as well
13. For good or bad the system wants to move the arena to the digital space; part of that is inherent market forces of tech development. Most of that is it's easier to control a digital space and fabricate people or narratives
14. Learn self-defense and 3D print ammo or find ways to protect yourself because that is where we are headed. The system is fabricating a civil war to divert people from itself
15. I'm not advocating starting hoaxes here; I am saying this is just the summary of what is happening and the objective consequences thereof
16. Physical self-defense is on the table and know the average person is brainwashed not to support you. But I don't consider giving up a real alternative
17. We need technology to fight back; look at the Native Americans. Maybe they had the moral high ground but "the good guys always win in the end just because they are on the right side of history" is some Hollywood bullshit
18. And just because politicians attempt to distance themselves from accountability of their own actions by using paperwork and order followers doesn't mean self-defense is not justified. Just understand the consequence of different strategies and how the system might use it
19. My personal take is if the system really wanted full control it would have it by now. Which means either it's not as effective as it wants to be or it allows room for rebellion to make the suffering and drama that much more authentic
20. And truly know the fight for liberty is a never ending battle
