And I’m not sure how, and I’m not sure if I can, but I want to try. People are always thanking us and calling us heroes and asking us for some kind of…something, anything we can offer in the face of the authoritarian march, and well, here it is, here is something, if I can figure out how to say it.

Well spoken Paul. The choice is indeed ours to make: freedom, or tyranny, all, or nothing.

Thank you for your words and actions. Thank you for your sacrifices.

Long live the people of Minneapolis, may your deeds inspire others to resist tyranny around the world.

I think it was Bernard Williams who once remarked about a mildly famous thought experiment which goes like this:

You’re walking by a lake and see a child drowning. But it turns out that the child is Hitler or Trump or whoever. Now apply various moral theories to see what they tell you to do in this situation.

Williams says, Anyone who actually behaved this way in such a situation is already a moral monster. A morally good person seeing a child in danger does not stop and think about the ethics of the situation.

The morally good person, not a moral hero mind you - this is about meeting a moral minimum, sees the need and acts.

Was reminded of this as I read your thread.

In our search of that something else, we failed time and again.

Those who we encountered either wanted to lead us or wanted us to lead them.

There were those who got close to us out of an eagerness to use us, or to gaze backward, be it with anthropological or militant nostalgia. …

At last, someone who understood that we were not looking for shepherds to guide us, nor flocks to lead to the promised land. Neither masters nor slaves. Neither leaders nor leaderless masses.

Supreme court ruled it wasn,t their business to interfere with elections and it was up to the people to choose.

Amd when Supreme Court decided Trump had immunity as President, it was with understanding that Congress was the one with jurisdiction to impeach him for crimes.

25th requires VP, majority of cabinet and majority of Congress to be challenge-proof. Not happening

But like the old saying goes, you get the ruler you deserve. Americans knew what he was, and enough voted for him. The US has only itself to blame because, unfortunately, anyone can become president. Including a known crook.

What would be have done differently if he were a Russian agent? Nothing. Putin bailed him out from certain bankruptcy by guaranteeing a loan through Deutch Bank when no American bank would.

Their next effort is "AI personhood" so they can buy swarms of AI agents to overwhelm and overturn the will of real people.

Normally, imagining that everyone is against you and stealing stuff from you is textbook psychosis. But Trump has worked so hard to make ennemies, that it is true that everyone is against him.

His inability to let go of crowd sie, and now the 2020 election loss does point to problem.
