Then how do you get that publicity, and why hasn't that worked so far?
It does work -- it has worked. Why do you think Trump got elected?
There was no government capable of doing anything in Munich.
Careful -- what you seem to be suggesting is that there's no government capable of doing anything
here. I don't believe that, and I think you don't believe it either; but what
you've been saying, sure looks like you've given up on the possibility that the government is capable of maintaining order.
And...are you saying that groups who the Nazis tried to shut down should not have tried to fight back?
I'm saying that the Commies and Brownshirts in Munich were both looking to take down the existing order - much like the thugs on both sides of this melee seem to be doing.
I agree. The problem is that while electing Trump was good in that respect, law and order is overwhelmingly a state and local issue. So what should be done -- that hasn't been done already -- to force those governments to tick off their generally leftist constituents by cracking down on disruptors? And the reality is that Trump still lost the popular vote. So what are things going to be like if, in 4 or 8 years, there's another lefty running the national government, and the left running the cities? Who protects our right to speak then?
I'm asking honestly, here. I've seen this stuff go on for too long, and conservatives complained about it with nothing happening. Nothing is done until it blows up -- then they act. I honestly don't see an alternative method of getting those local governments to protect free speech rights.
The place to start for answering a question like that, is by agreeing on what are
not acceptable answers. I'll toss out a couple of unacceptable answers.
1. It is not acceptable to throw in our lot with the likes of Identity Evropa just because they're against a few of the same things we're against. What they're
for matters -- and what they're for is bad. Making common cause with them will surely corrupt us just as surely as the left is being corrupted by the anarchists.
2. It is not acceptable to think that our system is so irretrievably broken that it must be overthrown. The structures are still basically sound; it's the people who run them who need to be held accountable.
3. It is not acceptable to think that a movement that creates "identity groups" and pits them against each other can solve the problems we face.
The answer lies in finding common ground, not in sweeping it away. And that means finding ways to get the message out.
