Wonderful news! Me and my friends here in Ireland rejoice for you . A step nearer to a more peaceful and socialist nation. Well done Illinois!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1813536 Americans as a whole are far too invested into the systems of support, comforts, and social interaction.
Unfortunately, these weaknesses provide all the necessary leverage that would ever be needed.
Quoting: 535 1326993 I think you are out of touch...
Quoting: Fire Watch Being "in" or "out" of touch has nothing to do with the facts on the ground. It is a manner of writing and speaking for the weak.
Americans will not be leaving suburban homes, shopping malls, and schools in droves in order to live underground and fight "the system" with no grocery stores or resupply.
Americans will not give up supermarkets and instant food on demand.
Americans will not give up hot showers and sanitation.
Americans will not give up television, computers, and all other electronic entertainment devices.
Americans will not give up clean fresh potable water on demand.
Americans will not give up heating and cooling.
Americans will not give up comfortable beds and automobiles.
Americans will not give up reliable electricity 24/7 and microwave ovens.
Americans will not give up their families in order to live with a firearm in the mountains or underground like a rat.
Everything from tampons to a refrigerator to razor blades. All gone. Unavailable to you and your family... forever.
Few if any Americans are willing to sacrifice in this manner. The ones that do will be so painfully obvious that the job will be done for your enforcers. It is YOU who are out of touch. It is YOU that has no understanding on how things work in the real world of daily survival and the pressure points available to your conquerors.
Sitting on your computers, well fed, warm, safe, and comfortable, there is no real comprehension of what can happen. Are you truly willing to give this all up, including your families (they will suffer as well), for the inevitable 20 year federal prison sentence? I think not.
Those that do not comply will be ostracized, cast out, branded, easy to find, easy to manipulate, easy to bounty, easy to collect, and in the end... easy to remove.
