Ch 17.1 - Coexistence
"If you are not a thorn in somebody's side, you're not doing Christianity right." - Mother Angelica
a. Numbness
-------------------------------
“I saw the error of my ways so I got six covid shots and started seeing the beauty of chicks with dicks. Shopping for an EV that fits my activate lifestyle now. Slava Ukraine and stuff." - Unknown
"What happens when the words 'racist' and 'antisemite' and 'terrorist' and 'far-right' stop having the effect the Deep State elites want them to have? We are going to find out." - Unknown
”I've learned the best way to end something is to let it starve. No response, no action, no altercations, just don't feed it. That's where the true power lies.” - Unknown
"The slander loses its power. Once you stop being afraid of it… don't care what people will say about me. If I have a group of good friends, loyal friends, and family around me who know who I am, who loves me, and who I love, then that's good enough… Stop being afraid of what they call you, and they lose their power." - Eva Vlaardingerbroek: I Would Rather Be Called A Radical In A Fight Against Evil Than A Moderate
"One of the most revolutionary things you can do as a woman is make peace with the idea of being disliked, or even hated. Make peace with people calling you unlikeable, shrill, ugly, unkind - because I promise that people will call you whatever they think will make you shut up." - Jessica Masterson
b. Coexistence
-------------------------------
"You can't just keep retreating from every battle." - Unknown
"The left has an agenda and will not stop. Ever. Either you confront the left or you lose. It is a binary choice." - Unknown
"I will never regret my decision to speak up. Can you say the same about your silence?" - Unknown
"Speak your truth so that others can find the courage to speak their own. Share your stories so that others can bond through sharing their own. Love yourself so that others can discover how to love themselves. Heal yourself so that others can find hope of healing themselves. Free yourself so that others can learn the tools to free themselves. If you want to save the world, save yourself first. The world will learn through your example." - Emily Maroutian
"The question remains, can we co-exist with wrong, insanity, upside-down, and evil? Sadly, the answer is no, and they're banking on it precisely as planned." - Unknown
"How bad do things have to get before you do something?
- Do they have to take away all your property?
- Do they have to license every activity that you want to engage in?
- Do they have to be throwing you on cattle cars?
Before you start to say now wait a minute? I don't think this is a good idea. How long is it going to be before you finally resist and say 'No! I will not comply. Period.' That's a different answer for each person. Ask yourself now because sooner or later you're going to come to that line and when they cross it then you'll say now cross this line. Now cross that line. And pretty soon you're in a corner. Sooner or later you got to draw a line and stand your ground. Whether anybody else does or not. That is what liberty is all about." - Unknown
“You will be required to do wrong no matter where you go. It is the basic condition of life, to be required to violate your own identity. At some time, every creature which lives must do so. It is the ultimate shadow, the defeat of creation; this is the curse at work, the curse that feeds on all life. Everywhere in the universe.” - Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
"You're in a spiritual war with the devil every single day. If you don't realize that, then you're already losing." - Unknown
"We’re not posting this shit for likes. We’re in a spiritual war & we need reinforcements!" - Unknown
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." - Harvey Dent, Batman
"Christianity isn't about having coffee with Jesus. It's about going to war for Him." - Unknown
"I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world than stand with the world and be judged by God." - Unknown
"Morality - Doing what is right regardless of what you are told
Obedience - Doing what you are told regardless of what is right" - Unknown
“We believe black lives matter, no human is illegal, love is love, women’s rights are human rights, science is real, water is life, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” - Liberal yard sign
“We believe all lives matter, legal immigration, marriage is one man & one woman, unborn female and male babies have rights, God’s creation supports science, water is life, return to law abiding Constitutional America” - Conservative yard sign
"The solution could not be more simple. Everybody, man and woman, needs to collectively stand up for what's right and STOP backing down. My old boss was the finest man I ever knew, the kind you would follow up a hill knowing you wouldn't come back. He led by example, and had impeccable integrity, THE attribute that contains every other sub set of attributes worth having . He said 'when you're right, you fight.' He NEVER compromised when he was right. Name one instance when the monsters doing this to us have compromised on anything. EVER? It's always the good guys that compromise. They advance their evil, and we fall back.. THAT, more than anything else, is how we got here. WE compromise our GOOD, THEY don't compromise their EVIL. Never again. Say it. We are right, so we will fight, and we won't compromise . Red Line drawn. We will never back down AGAIN If your goal is to eradicate evil, you cannot do that by finding common ground with the devil. When you deal with that snake you can only lose. So rip its head off instead." - Unknown
c. Self-defense
-------------------------------
"Your own safety is at stake when your neighbor's wall is ablaze.” – Horace
"Bring it ... the sh!ttiest bit is you have to allow them to act first before a person can respond because to go first gives them the terrorist argument. Fighting after the fact ..." - Unknown
"Your nails are manicured. Their nails are rough and dirty. They will beat you." - Michael Yon
"You're one of those assholes who say, 'my country, right or wrong,' while neglecting to mention the rest of it. 'My country right or wrong; when right, to keep her right; when wrong, to put her right.'" - Carl Schurz
"When civilized methods to resolve conflicts are all thrown out, only the uncivilized methods will do. While most of us would rather live civilly, there will soon be a time when uncivilized methods must be employed." - Unknown
"No warrior or conqueror ever prayed away his enemy, a good warrior makes an early appointment with the Gods for his enemy, then that warrior sends them off to meet those demands for those appointments that were made prior before destroying the enemy." - Unknown
”I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I’m all out of bubblegum.” - They Live

"Come and get them. Let me explain something. When i would go into an engagement, I assumed i was going to die. And only through training, commitment, force of will, and the grace of god, would i be reborn. Now i may be older, but from what I've seen our army become... i bet i get more of them than they would ever admit." - Unknown
"Quark: Let me tell you something about humans, nephew. They're wonderful, friendly people as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, and deprive them of food, sleep, and sonic showers. Put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time, and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes. You know I'm right, huh? Yeah. Aren't you going to say something?
Nog: I feel sorry for the Gem Hadar." - Deep Space 9 as a group of starving humans fight off an attack

"A man reaches a certain age where he doesn't want any drama. He doesn't want to fight anyone - and if forced to, he will not fight fair. He will not quit and there are no weapons he will not use. It's best to leave him alone with his coffee, bourbon and cigars. Don't poke the old men. They will hurt you." - Unknown
"Too old to fight, too slow to run, but I can still shoot pretty damn good." - Unknown, on a T-shirt an old guy was wearing
"Old age and treachery usually defeats youth and skill. Not seein' a lot of the latter lately." - Unknown
"Age and ruthlessness will defeat youth and enthusiasm any day of the week." - Unknown
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of the Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left Alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally forced to murder who they used to be. Which is why, then forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who made them murder their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people's door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy….BUT it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left Alone." - Unknown.
"Opt out? Yeah...you wish. Like many Americans I just want to be left alone. I want to work and save (how I see fit), raise my children (as I see fit) and then retire (as I see fit). But here's the thing.... THEY know better than me. THEY know better than you. It's not enough that you don't mess with THEM; THEY believe it is their duty to mess with you. THEY want you to believe what THEY believe, live how THEY want you to live, rear your children the way THEY see fit. Go against any of it and get fined, jailed, outed, de-platformed, de-funded, doxxed, beat up and in some instances killed. You see... you can't truly OPT OUT. There are other options available to us, but they would be extraordinarily messy and disruptive, but they would be cleansing and corrective." - Unknown
"I ask all my fellow patriots to gather together and form a private militia. We can coordinate in a Michigan hotel. Wait for further instructions. Don't forget to bring your guns...
Sincerely,
R. Epps." - Unknown
"Nice try Mr. Epps. Storming the White House is probably the dumbest path forward. A show of force, an armed resistance made up of many political spectrums occupying DC in unity against tyranny would be much more viable. We simply cannot fire the first shot and expect to prevail. Govt buildings are meaningless territory, a hill not worth fighting on." - Unknown

A: tell him your plans" - Unknown

"I have a backhoe. -> Good luck; They traced the perp’s cell to your front doorstep using his cell phone and now know why he went missing. Or they spotted his car on a security camera. Or he bragged about coming for you on social media. Or the beer he bought at the corner store near your house just before going missing showed up on a credit card report. Lots of ways to find him in a surveillance state.
They can take it bullets first. -> Okay, but I hope you enjoy living in the woods for the rest of your life, Rambo. You’re gonna need to hide.
We will rise up! -> How many more red lines need to be crossed? Why hasn’t anyone risen up yet? Too many keyboard warriors, and not enough patriots.
I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6. -> I agree, but you will be judged and found guilty in Biden’s America.
I’m afraid they’ve got our testicles in a vise, gentlemen. Save it for when the police stop coming. But if lights are still on, it’d better not make any appearances" - Unknown
"Nationalism today is far weaker than a century or two ago. We just forgot how strong it was. Go back 100 years to 1918, Europeans were killing each other by the million over questions of nationality … A good way to assess the power of an idea is to do a body count." - Yuval Harari
"The Vietnamese won the war like Mosquitos win the war in the backyard down South. You get attacked by millions and millions. They don't quit and you stop caring. There was no reason to be there anyway." - Unknown

"Domestic extremists unveil new plan to simply sit back and wait for society to implode" - Unknown
"The Chinese and Russians, Iranians and North Koreans don’t need to lift a finger. The rot is so embedded in the trunk of the system that a small change in the direction of the wind will be enough to topple the whole rotten tree." - Unknown
"If the US government were stupid enough to fight its own people it wouldn't even come to revolution... It'd be crushed to death by its own bloated budgets and bureaucracy. Just the iron law of entropy and bureaucratic decay." - Unknown
"The left wins easily in a 'civil war'. They control every institution in the country: corporations, governments, military, etc. They control all the ports and infrastructure hubs. They are younger, stronger, and more numerous every day, while we get older, weaker, and fewer. When the South fought a civil war, they at least had a large area of contiguous land under their control, ports and infrastructure, state governments and businesses, etc. And they still lost. Whereas today, even the reddest states have patches of blue in the most vital geographical points." - Unknown
"Extremism in any form is unhealthy." - Unknown
"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” – Mahatma Gandhi
"Imagine a dog chasing bird off of a cliff. There are 3 lessons that can be learned from this picture:
1) Sometimes the best response to provocation is not to fight
2) Not all opportunities are to be taken. Some are traps.
3) A person can become so determined to destroy another person that they become blind and end up destroying themselves." - Unknown
"And it would be wise to start recognizing...these are just traps laid by leftys. Don't take the bait." - Unknown
“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” - Isaac Asimov, Foundation
"Everything is a f*cking meme… so what. Bottom line, be kind. Most of us are powder kegs waiting to explode cuz we are so pissed off, one move and boom, we go off all angry and sh*t. Let’s simply be kind to one another. It’s not every day one witnesses their country being overthrown by communists." - Unknown
"The deep state wants you and I to take up arms against them so they can declare a rebellion and bring in martial law and the military against us good folks..!" - Unknown
“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.” - Roman 12:19
