I respect the Taliban more than American fathers.
The Taliban had their way of life threatened by the world's most powerful military and fought tooth and nail until they won and took their women's rights away.
American fathers let their kids get poisoned and have their money stolen via the court system and obese women and they gave in with little to no resistance
@basedbagel Absolutely, that's not even up for debate. Nobody respects men in America, fathers or otherwise, because they deserve no respect (generally speaking). Respect is earned by force, how can anyone respect a group of men that allow themselves to be walked over by their own women?
The Taliban earned their stripes by fighting for their sovereignty. Their women (and the rest of the world) are forced to respect them and their culture. Might makes right.
@Based_Accelerationist While I agree with you I wouldn't even go as far as might makes right.
There are plenty of effective non-violent solutions.
For example, if 30% of essential workers did a strike we would end the vax mandate.
If men were more petty and just refused to pay by working jobs that make cash like a waiter the child support system would go bankrupt.
It doesn't even take force it takes courage and strength of will
@basedbagel That would be true, until the effects became apparent, at which point the government would intervene. Like the Canadian trucker protest showed, there is no peaceful solution, as soon as the system feels threatened, it will retaliate... with force.
It will take nothing short of a bloody war to topple it. The system won't let you walk away.
I can't emphasize this point enough, there are zero non-violent solutions, zero.
Might makes right, it's just how nature works.
@basedbagel Indeed, which is why the US government is preparing for such a scenario, by weaponizing migrants and institutions like the FBI or the IRS. They will go to war against their own people if push comes to shove, the threat of violence won't be enough to deter them at this point, their hides are on the line.
This isn't the solution I wanted either and it has huge risks like you pointed out, but it's just evident that there is no other way, things were allowed to deteriorate for too long.
>things were allowed to deteriorate for too long.
Can't disagree with you even though I don't like it.
But I'm a soft bagel not built for war so God willing I'll be long gone before the collapse.
@Based_Accelerationist I see your point but the issue with the Canadian truckers is that they already gave up too much freedom (no guns) so you're right for them there is no non-violent solution.
In the US there COULD be nonviolent solutions but thanks to people having ZERO perspicacity or courage I'm afraid you may be right.
I'm not a big fan of conflict because even if you win it could bankrupt you or create a power vacuum for someone worst to step in.
