After reviewing the general outlines surrounding the French and Bolshie Revolutions, Z-Man observes:
...One strange difference between the current age and those revolutionary ages is the roles are reversed. In 18th century France, it was the people at the top defending the old order and the people [at the bottom] challenging it. The same was true in Russia. In America, the people at the top see themselves as the revolutionaries and the people view themselves as the defenders of the old order. A big part of this crisis is the ruling class mocking the history and tradition of the people.
What makes it even more bizarre is that if the ruling class is successful in discrediting the old system, the people will no longer have restraint. It is the lingering trust in the system, the desire to vote harder, that prevents January 6th from spreading to every state capital in the country. These efforts by the ruling class to burn it all down can only lead to one end for them. The FBI raiding Trump’s house convinced a lot of people that the system is now too far gone to save with an election....
That 'desire to vote harder' is exactly what Mark Belling voiced early in his show today. But Z-Man sees it differently--thus the last two sentences above.
I dunno. I'm too damn busy buying ammo.
