We can't fight back...we have too much to lose.

This is the go to "excuse" for what I would usually say is for people on the "right" AKA: conservatives. But, things are so polarized now, it includes many other people who simply aren't full blown progressive nutcase leftists. We refuse to fight back in any manner simply because we all have jobs and careers to maintain and families to care for. We have to make sure we can keep our 2-3 car garage homes with a backyard whether it be in a nice subdivision or on a nice piece of land. I am guilty of this thought process myself.

One day, sooner rather than later, that will be gone at the current pace of things. At what point do we collectively realize these things we have in life are in jeopardy and come to the realization that all we have, all we have worked for, could just go away in an instant. I never thought I'd be saying something like this, but it is a sad fact that its trending more and more in that direction.

I know it is only a movie, and is kind of a meme on this particular board, but look at the movie The Patriot. Its only a movie, but in this respect it holds true. People back then had nice homes, property, families, and means of providing for themselves. They had everything to lose. They chose freedom over all of that. Because without true freedom, these things we take for granted, these "things" that we say we can't lose, will be gone without FREEDOM.

Just an honest question: At what point do we realize our very way of life and the freedom we have known our entire life is at stake and legitimately stand up for ourselves in a meaningful way? Like I said, I am guilty of this thought process myself, but find myself thinking more and more every day about what my breaking point is. Its getting close.
