Cuddle. Discussing politics is depressing.

There is always a way. Honestly, most of the people who got in trouble for taking action were doing it wrong. The government may have firepower and shock and awe tactics, they may have drones and death squads and nukes and shit, but all that can be overcome with patience, ingenuity, and determination. I'm not saying it's easy, but if you're thinking about it, the real problem we face is the fact that activist groups and factions put too much into the thought of serving the common opinion, and thus they never reach the potential needed to overpower the man. They have a lot of thinkers and a lot of actors, but not true creativity, and thus they tend to fail. Nowadays, most failure groups like protesters and direct action folks are withdrawing into secrecy. We hear less and less about them, and that's not because it's over. It's because they are planning alternatives.
Obviously, Steve has given up on the idea of fighting for freedom. He thinks that I don't know what's out there, that I haven't thought about getting killed or attacked or arrested. Maybe he thinks somehow it will get better, maybe he doesn't care because he's old and dying, but there are many ways to end this, and not just by his spoonfed perception of revolution.
ME
Tell me what you have in mind. What kinds of alternatives do you think are out there?
LOKI
I'm not pretending like I have all the answers, but I know enough to say that I refuse to live this way, under the heel of monotonous bullshit and servitude.
ME
I'm asking what kind of alternatives you think people retreating into secrecy might be considering to add to my own knowledge base.
LOKI
Movements are weaker because they choose to try to change the system while depending on it. Take the Free State Project, for example. They have been at this for years, barely staying under the radar, but they will find a hard road ahead when they try to fully liberate New Hampshire. They have to follow the rules of the government, so they never make progress.
The Occupy movement fell for the same reason: They depended on society's resources, and were utterly aimless.
ME
I actually don't know much about Occupy other than that it existed and seemed pointless. I wanna know more about your plans and methods, though. What do you think will make a difference in a way that no one else has? Not as a matter of having all the answers, but as a matter of sharing your goals in a more specific sense.
LOKI
People can't do much of anything when they're working day and night to live in a box and working so hard to follow the rules of the system they are trying to destroy, and yet so many activists and anarchists work minimum wage to pay for the house they paint picket signs in so they can march in the streets and accomplish nothing, over and over again. This whole time, anarchists have been so caught up in the monotony of the system, they forget they can't do anything by being a part of it.
So that is primarily what I want to step away from. Secondly, it's absolutely pathetic that nobody has thought about using things like boron carbide armor and nobody's bothered to take advantage of the countless flaws of the system for anything truly powerful. For example, a traffic jam could let a man rob a bank or go on a killing spree, and the cops couldn't catch him or stop him because they're 6 miles away stuck on 27th St. in traffic and that guy's on a minibike.

Brilliant <3

Everyone forgot about EMPs and all the ways that a person could overpower a tank, be it thermite mines of even a catapult full of liquid nitrogen.
How easy it could be to set up a giant flaming oiled spear rap that could skewer and cook a whole flotilla of riot pigs.
These are just a tiny fraction of over a thousand ways we could overpower the rapidly shrinking American military and police. But nobody's really getting into it, so far as the media won't tell us the truth .There were organizations and resistances that have been erased from the history books so people could never know. Our media twists and turns stories to fit the corporate world's desires. Not even science is entirely true anymore. We have been lied to again and again every day.
ME
That's why I want to chronicle our adventures and our story.
LOKI
We are trained to be corpgov wage slaves, and that the government is invincible and has too much firepower, but everyone always forgets that strategy is truly what will win a war, and so far I haven't seen much of it from our government, especially in the middle east where most of the troops shoot themselves in dust storms.
The war would have ended if America had any strategy or ingenuity, aside from wasting money they don't have.
ME
Wasting money isn't a strategy. It's stupidity. This is part of the reason I like making our own foods. It's why I will never stand in the way of you stealing or begging. The corporations don't deserve the money we are trained to give them.
LOKI
Stealing, spanging, growing, and scavenging.
ME
Yes, well, I will do plenty of scavenging and growing as well. By the way, honey, we got more beans, potatoes, apples, and some oranges.
LOKI
Good :)
ME
Kiss kiss <3 *nuzzles* It's good that we share the same basic views.
LOKI
Yep :)
ME
I thought it would be fun to talk about something different for a change. And it makes me feel closer to you.
LOKI
Yeah, I feel the same way.
