Fighting chance:
Weapons
Ammunition
Range Time
A classical education based on the Socratic method
A realization that government is a necessary evil that needs to be kept as small as possible on starvation rations.
A mad set of MacGyver Skills to fix almost anything
Finally, no set of lawn, garden, or farm equipment is complete without a flamethrower.
If they’ve got the goods on the 2020 election steal, then they’ve surely got the goods on the Plandemic. The truth about the bio-attack cannot come soon enough…
Historically, at some point in every culture’s history its ruling class decides that there are just too damned many peasants.
The usual excuse is “land”. Elites do not like seeing their potential vast holdings being parceled out to those who should be working the “land” as their indentured servants.
For them, the entire history of the United States has been one long, nonstop nightmare. When they spoke of “Manifest Destiny” two centuries ago, they meant that it was their own, personal destiny to own everything between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Yes, they wanted the U.S. Army to dispose of the Indians- but only after the Indians had disposed of the “settlers”. BTW, speaking of arms, during the Indian Wars the main source of weapons for the war bands was the Indian Bureau (later the Bureau of Indian Affairs). The Indians needed Spencer carbines, the “assault weapons” of the day, for hunting, you see.
(Yes, at the Greasy Grass aka Little Big Horn, the 7th was both outnumbered and outgunned. The Law of Unintended Consequences in action. And yes, the Senate hearings about the above sounded like those over the FBI and IRS. “Senator, I have no knowledge of that” was the IB refrain in 1876, too.)
Our elites look at Rwanda, and Zimbabwe, and South Africa, and think “Hey ,we should do that. Get rid of the ‘useless eaters’ once and for all”.
Having failed with a “Rainbow Six/Black Tide Rising” gambit (at least this time), they will likely revert to the tried and true “Tribal Warfare/ Let’s You And Him Fight” mode.
They’ll make sure none of them are hurt, protected by their private armies, of course.
The rest of us will be easy meat for their carefully-imported-and/or-locally groomed crazies, in hoodies and waving torches. After all, if we resist, their enlightened prosecutors will lock us up.
I do not see a “peaceful” solution. There is just too much political power in the hands of arrogant, egotistical, and narcissistic sociopaths.
They may have made a slight tactical error in turning the islamists loose on society to further their goal of eradicating those who will not follow them…they missed the part where islamists want EVERYONE who isn’t muslim dead, and half of the ones who are. You can’t turn fanaticism, especially religious fanaticism, off when it’s served the purpose it was used for and the backroom schemers would do well to remember that no matter how deep they intrench themselves and how many personal armies they pay with other people’s money, they’re next. The Mongols knew how to deal with islamists and it’s looking like that might well be the only way this time too.
Islamists and post-modern progressives each think that they are exploiting the other to achieve their specific Paradise on Earth. And that the “other” is too stupid to realize that they are nothing more than tools to facilitate the Triumph.
Such “relationships” have historically ended in Mutual Assured Destruction. (Japan and China in Korea 13th-15th Centuries AD, Germany and Russia 1923-45, etc.)
But everybody involved is always sure that they’ll be the ones who get it right.
Phlogiston theory of combustion, anyone?

More than “slight.” The “intellectuals” have been pulling these revolutions since history started being recorded, and probably before. They always end up the first to be lined up against the wall. As they stare into the inside of a blindfold, they are Utterly Surprised. Every. Single. Time.

Something the Left may have had a hand in writing/publishing?
“A memoir by Virginia Giuffre, the late American-Australian woman who accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein of trafficking her, will be published in the coming months.”
Back in FL, close to old area, all good, still moving in, killed the cold, catching up, but I gotta get back to thanking the patrons, collating their orders together!
Sooooo good to be back on the Island, though it’s a lil’ condo not a house.

Ditto on that flamethrower.
