Why People Don't Revolt

and are so apathetic

One of my favorite quotes of all time is Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. “…all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” That explains a lot doesn’t it? Epstein files expose government officials and other powerful people engaged in child rape, murder, and worse crimes. No indictments or arrests. US and Israel start a war that 80% of the people oppose? No reaction by the people. Sending American soldiers to die for Israel and US hegemony? No peace movement. Massive inflation, poverty, homelessness. No reaction. You get the idea. Total apathy. People feel disempowered like there is nothing they can do. Voting doesn’t work. Protesting doesn’t work. What’s left?

Jefferson continues, “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” Jefferson goes on to list many of the crimes of the British against the colonies. I’ll just list a few:

“He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. (Executive Presidency)

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. (Homeland Security, IRS)

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. (800 Worldwide military bases)

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. (Authorization for use use military force, Patriot Act, nullification of War Powers of Congress)

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: (National Guard, ICE)

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: (tariffs)

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: (all of them)

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: (95%+ plea bargains due to massive threats even if innocent)

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: (rendition)

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. (Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, etc)

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us,” (Charlotteville, Jan. 6, etc)

Sound familiar?

Furthermore according to Jefferson:

“That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.”

We could say the same, just substitute the “federal government” for the “British Crown”. They have usurped most state and local powers and become equally despotic.

But we know that is not going to happen yet. People aren’t desperate enough yet. As long as the middle class still exists and still has its income people won’t revolt. Poor people are too stressed trying to survive and rich people like the status quo, so it is only when the middle class is stressed that people will rebel. Most people are still doing alright. Their real estate and stocks are still going up, they mostly still have their jobs, and they are not affected by far-off wars. It is only when their wallets are hit that they get upset. The 2nd amendment people will eventually come with pitchforks and torches to get these demons. Trump was their last resort. Since that turned out to be a scam they have nothing left. Just wait.
