Others might just not be weak enough to crumble and melt because times aren't as good as they could be.

I'll say yes. Which third world countries have you been to and in what ways are we no better than them?

No.

And no, it isn't that far-fetched. In fact, it has been suggested.
That doesn't mean anything to me. It's been suggested that an election was stolen and supposed "patriots" did nothing about it. It's been suggested that lizard people run the world.
Don't be afraid of what's "been suggested."

I'm not being disrespectful when I ask this, as I am genuinely curious, but when does this statement stop being true? What would have to happen for you to say, "You know what, this isn't the greatest country anymore"?

To me, the flag does not stand for freedom any longer.
i am proud to fly that flag and the DOJ/FBI/CIA consider it a symbol of domestic terrorism.

No.
Ok. That's where we differ.

I'm not afraid. But if you can't see the difference between someone in the mainstream media suggesting Biden suspend the midterm elections to "save democracy" and the presence of Lizard people by a crackpot, then I have nothing left to discuss with you.
Cheers.

The flag still stands for freedom. And they can't take that away.

I agree with this.
Would getting those out of office that are killing us by killing them first be acceptable to you?
Would you be physically willing to drop the blade on someone you feel is guilty of treason?

They're varying degrees of the same stupidity.
No. I'm not going to give value to either.
If you can't do better than that, it's probably for the best that you tuck tail.

Yes they can. If they march a bunch of soldiers wearing that flag against citizens, it becomes a symbol of tyranny.

Most news stories were careful NOT to use the phrase 'FBI raids'. State propaganda knows.
I will take my flag down for a couple of days but keep flying my 'Lets go Brandon' sign.

I just ordered a Betsy Ross Flag to pair with the Gadsden Flag that I fly on my boat. Putting the Stars and Stripes on the bench for now.

Nor have you seen what I've seen. And??
Again, the difference between people claiming there are lizard people and a member of the media suggesting the midterm elections be suspended aren't the same degree of anything. They aren't even comparable. If you're too dim to realize that, probably best you just keep working that comfortable state job of yours and not risk your pension.

The newspeak is "search". Facebook is already putting disinformation warnings over posta using the word "raid".

So it is imperative that we remain a lawful citizenry when there is clearly a double standard with regards to the application of the law, and a ruling class that is above the law? How does this work?

I'd put money that my experience is directly applicable. I'm sure vacation showed you a lot, though.

Yes they are.
The media doesn't hold some special power in 2022. Each claim goes as far as it's believed.
If you don't know that, you don't know anything.

This isn't accurate. It's also weird.
