29. We'll take strong decisive actions when the obvious inconvenience of not doing them outweighs that of doing them
Mon Aug 11, 2025, 07:19 PM

The last 80 years have been infected with a gradually-spreading false confidence rooted in the prior sacrifices of others -- a confidence that our laws were a sort of imperfect bulwark against oppression that we would work to continuously improve, that they did contain flaws and injustice, but those could be addressed without tearing the whole thing down. There was a sense that we were building a "more perfect union", well that's gone now. There's a solid 30% ride-or-die fascist commitment in the population, that's more than enough per Hitler.
