When I was a kid most of us lived in apartments. You rented or you lived in grandma's house. We were just squeaking by on my Dad's paycheck. So we had to shut up and not make any noise and not get the landlord mad. You see we were paying $25 a month and we couldn't get tossed out. We might end up paying $50 a month or some shit like that there..
So I had to sit on my bed and not make any noise. No friends could come over. No loud TV or music. No loud arguments or running around the house. Sal the Plumber was a well know hot head and asshole. He was just looking for an excuse to bounce us.
It wasn't all bad. I started to read a lot. So much so that my parents got worried. I made my model planes and cars. Collected comic books and baseball cards. I was out all day with my friends on the streets were I learned a bunch about what life is all about.
But the anxiety and fear marked me. As it marks all of us.
Now the government and big tech is acting like Sal the Plumber. They are evicting us. Throwing us off Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. Impeaching our President. Again. They keep beating on us. Telling us it is all our fault.
Don't they know how this is going to turn out.
Haven't they ever seen a Farrah Fawcett movie?

They think it's a thousand years ago and all we have are a few pitchforks. They have an army. Unfortunately, this time that army is made up of kids with one foot at home. The SS cracked up in many cases when it had to shoot a Jew or Pole who reminded them of Mama.
Then Errol Flynn comes along and says there are more of us than them and that forest can provide all our sustenance. It can also hide us.
Fast forward a couple of nanosecs and Mao Tse-tung says the people are the sea in which the guerillas swim.
And then there's Jack Ma. Remember him? He's become a non-person. Zuck and Dorsey and the rest think they're running the show. The time will come when they say, "Ma, he's making eyes at me". And they only have two options. Dachau-on-the-Brazos (if they live that long) or come crawling back to us.
Love to see the look on Zuck's puss then.
It'll take a little time for Joe Sixpack to get ticked off. Wait for the 1 year anniversary of the lockdown with no end in sight. Wait for the mask mandate. Wait for all the guys who'd like to try to restart their business and the lying dogfaced pony soldier tells them they aren't even being considered because the Demos want to get back all the minorities they lost to Trump.
It's like France in WWII. In 1940, a collaborateur (or -euse) was somebody trying to make the best of a bad situation. No shame whatsoever. In 1942, the Krauts ordered Vichy to start making up lists of people for forced labor in Germany. Now a collaborateur is somebody shipping off your kids to work for Hitler.
And you may never see them again.
The Lefties used incrementalism to great advantage, but they always went just a bit too far. This time, it's a bridge too far.
