Biden Suggests Starting ‘Physical Revolution’ To Deal With Republicans

[Caballoflaco]

Maybe political leaders should encourage rock’em sock’em amongst the people. Do we believe society will come together, compromise, and start singing kumbaya around the campfire anytime soon? The path we’re on is dysfunctional at best. It has been 150+ years since we’ve fought in this country. Perhaps a bloody nose from time to time serves the greater good.

Instead of the civil war you’re imagining imagine this one instead.

You’re standing over a ditch filled with women and children soaked in gasoline and preparing to burn them alive. A neighboring sectarian group mortared a local playground and this is retribution.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this you think to yourself. Originally our militia was based on the ideas of liberty and the constitution. But those were the early days. Some sociopaths rose to leadership in the militia around the same time the fight became as much about food as it did freedom. You thought about getting out, but a couple of your neighbors and good friends had the same idea and were discovered by the leadership. So they were executed after being forced to watch their families being publicly raped almost to death and then dismembered alive. Unfortunately, the security needed to keep your family alive means that your fortified town is just as much of a prison as it is a “freedom base”and since you’d been acting kinda funny lately leadership decided they would put you on this detail to see if you were still a part of the group.

So there you stand on the edge of a ditch almost deafened by the screams of women and children who are going to be burned to death wether or not you light them first. But if you don’t, something similar or more horrible is going to happen to your family while you watch. Before you yourself are treated to a similar fate.

So, if civil warring stills sounds like an awesome fun time after imagining that then have at it.

Mea culpa: I was willing to pre-shit on Biden, because, uncle Joe. Now that Sensei and BBI have pointed out the media’s take/stake in this teapot tempest, I’m embarrassed to have been caught up in my own internal jingoism.

I’ll still shit on Biden, because, uncle Joe... but not over this.

Yet again, shame on the "hands up, don’t shoot" media—on both sides. Someone famous once opined that "religion is the source of all mankind’s wars." Maybe... but now that outrage porn has become religion on both ends of the societal candle, the concept is gaining legs.

JMO.

Dude, thats F'd up like a football bat.

And that’s the kind of stuff that happens in civil wars during the late 20th/early 21st century. I’m sticking with the “give peace a chance” folks.

Kudos to Sidheshooter for self-awareness. The Covington student smear still sticks fresh in my head.

I've mentioned it before, but the reading types of members should really check out a book called 'Ordinary Men'.

I get it, war is savage. It's also human nature.

For those who say blood isn't the answer, what is?

How do we bridge the two sides we've allowed ourselves to become? How do we force the branches of government to work as intended? How do we encourage people to pull together for the greater good? Most important, how do we make this happen in short order? The can has been kicked far enough down the road.

External threat. I nominate aliens. The only good three headed monster is a dead three headed monster. WE need to join together and build a massive space Freedom Force (TM) to defeat them.

That story on the Dailywire is inaccurate and the video has been deceptively edited to make Biden seem to be calling for revolution. Here is a more honest description of Biden’s remarks along with an unedited video that portrays the full context.

It seems pretty clear that the reference towards revolution was a bit of sarcasm directed at hardline democrats who think that compromise is impossible with Republicans. He never seriously called for an actual revolution. The brass knuckle fight portion was a description of the instances where compromise was not possible and the POTUS needed to take the case before the American people to garner public support. Of course, that didn’t stop the Dailywire from splicing “revolution” and “brass knuckle fight” closer together to completely reverse the context of the message.

Oh well, I’m sad to see Ben Shapiro’s shop go the way of Brietbart into the bullshit abyss.

Indeed, I went and looked up the quote and it seemed a critique of his more extreme Democratic competitors, not an endorsement of revolution itself. I'm not a Biden fan by any stretch, but the Daily Wire's approach is bullshit and extremely unethical.

I'm sorry. You folks took Biden's comments out of context. What he said was the Dems were revolting.

Or here's one- which happens a LOT. You're fighting for the Leftist. You don't want to, and oppose everything they believe. But you and your family just happened to live on the other side of the line, and they gave you a choice- join, or watch your family get shot before you do.

You think about deserting, or rebelling from the inside, or similar... but the Zampolit is watching, and you've seen what happens to those who did something similar. Plus, they know who your wife is, who your kids are, who your parents are- and are more than happy to pay them back for what you might do. Best to do as you are told, and pretend to be 100% behind the Revolution.

This happened to a friend of mine who was in Romania back in 1989 by the way.
