Obviously, insurrection goes against God, but I can't say as a student of political instability that I don't find a contemporary US case study slightly interesting.

I will say this - it isn't quite as bad as it was made out to be, but I still downright oppose the idea that the collective mob can expropriate private property without the sanction of the state.

Quote
SALVADOR SAHAGUN: Black Lives Matter really saved our business, though. It's just kind of an amazing thing 'cause we were really struggling with the corona recession.

ALLAM: Salvador Sahagun is the manager of a Mexican restaurant on the edge of the CHAZ. He says the business from protesters has been a godsend. Sahagun voted for Trump in 2016 and might do so again in November. Still, he says, the president is way off-base when it comes to what's happening here.

Trump/Chaz voter .
That's actually pretty interesting. If Chaz was going to turn into some alt-left Waco style sh!t show, it'd have happened a week ago by now. So long as residents and the likes of Mr. Sahagun aren't being bullied, harassed, or intimidated, than maybe....maybe something cool could come from this.

Honestly, I don't see why the modern American left doesn't embrace a more pastoral vision of communal living. Hippies did that throughout the country in the sixties. You work in gardens growing fruits, vegetables, and cannabis together, you take care of one another, drop acid and listen to some groovy psychedelic rock, free love, etc. Go find some rural property in Oregon or something and set it up. I'd encourage that, actually.

If you look at the fuel behind modern liberalism, it'd be pretty easy to see why this isn't that popular a move.

They should have taken lessons from established sustainable settlements in rural Virginia, those Yiddish-speaking farms in upstate New York, SSPX, hell, maybe even the Amish.  Projects like these are noble, but they aren't going to work in large metros where nobody knows each other.

Thanks for the inspiration. I promise this is my last Chad meme.



I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my King.

(also pls no, i love virgin v chad)

Literature involves being able to write characters of different backgrounds, ideologies, and worldviews. Literature is not "trolling".

The definition of literature seems to have been expanded dramatically

Art comes in a variety of forms, especially as our choice of media expands.
