I don’t know what it is precisely but passivity is the default mode of the masses. I suspect the education system is where it begins then it is topped up with years of news media telling everyone they’re powerless.

Great comment and observation Dollyboy! The indoctrination camps definitely work to teach people they don't have any power. It always amazes me when I see comments on posts from people who obviously "get it" but than say, "but what can we do to stop it?" I always say we can stop much of this by just refusing to participate in it! If enough of us would do that...

It's hard though when doing the thing threatens your livelihood, comfort or social standing. 90% just wont. We saw that play out over the scamdemic. The banality of evil. Go along to get along...

No doubt. There's not many of us willing to give all of that up. I did, and I know some others who did. I'd rather forage for roots, nuts, and berries than be part of the madness of tyranny. Unfortunately for those who chose their comfort, social standing, etc.... they are going to lose it anyway!!! It's mind blowing. Thanks again for contributing on The Rumble Strip. :-)

Yes there is the issue, people are too comfortable and things aren’t bad enough yet. How bad is bad enough to trigger a response is another problem because by then likely it will be too late. The hive is either districted with fart and penis humor delivered via social media, consumed with vanity(my personal pet peeve) or just trying to hide in the grey area, unfortunately for them the gray area bus departed with Obama’s last term and now must pick a side, a choice of you will. Not much longer and this mess all around us will be at their doorstep. Now is the time to control the things we can control and have the courage to do so. The big picture like Trump vs. Harris is just another bullshit distraction from Gr8t Weeset, which at this point has become self aware and autonomous.

And people are used to things NOT being terribly threatening or "in your face."

We're fat and lazy here in the USA... By plan.

Yes! The first step is to destroy the government schools.

We don't have to destroy anything. We simply DON'T SEND KIDS THERE.

The schools could be used for something else.

Like a FEMA camp? ;-) Or how about a "quarantine center"? Or maybe a "refugee" center? I don't think Fat Rabbit Iron meant physically destroying them. I tend to agree with you both. We can make the schools irrelevant by not sending our children there to be indoctrinated and groomed for whatever creepy government social agenda is on the menu! Then maybe we can make these schools (which look like prisons) monuments and museums of the absurdity of what we used to do to our children. lol. Heaven help us.

My Mission from God: “As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right” (1 Samuel 12, 23). God bless Tango Whiskey Hotel as we must Look UP as the real real HERO will soon be here. The signs of the times profess this :)

Okay, well, tell that to the Palestinians. I don’t think WAITING around for someone to come and rescue us is going to be the answer. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pray — but WE the PEOPLE need to be the “hero” in my opinion. xo

Wise words. It starts with doing something, and that somethings is usually right in front of us (like the proverbial plank in the eye).

I've spent a lot of years trying to remove that plank John! Ha! Thanks for stopping by. :)

We have to stand up and SHOUT and then DO stuff...

I think it's the DOING STUFF that keeps us engaged and in CHARGE...

Hey, my lovely pal. I'm pretty much okay, it's a sad day because of finding out I can't see my parents for a YEAR... And they're NOT happy.

It's hard, but I'm just unable to do much about it, so I give it to the Great Spirit.

Hope you're okay, too. Better than me, I hope! xo xo

😭 I pray the year goes fast, so you can see them soon! I hope they raise he🏒🏒 with your shit brother. He deserves to be yelled at by his parents. (Pardon me calling him names.)

I'm doin' ok. Next week is my divorce court date. I'm scared shitless! Pray!

Love you lots❣ 🥰

I’ve called him far, far worse names than you. My heart is breaking, I can’t sleep enough… I’m told, and it might be a lie, but might not be, that my mother fell and broke all kinds of bones in her face, including her nose, and my father was found on the floor, crying. And I don’t even know WHERE THEY ARE.

Love you, too, B! Your kindness helps. xo xo

Great post. You nailed it.

I have a friend who agrees that I'm being targeted by the court system here... She's right. She wants to know why I get on SS and say the things I say. I told her because I'm a patriot, and because I can't NOT do it. She doesn't understand. She thinks I should CYA. or, CMA... Anyway. I'm a WATCH DOG, so I bark.

Again, you nailed this and good job. The only thing we have to fear is FEAR. Take back what is ours, sez me, which is pretty much everything.

Amen Word Herder. Nuthin's easy. But what we stand by and allow to happen as a people will be much more difficult to overcome once it's in place. Like back home: The mine is still closed and will never reopen, the ranches are shut down and will never reopen, the businesses are shut down and will never reopen. And, in more recent times for those who went along with the whole "covid" crap... your children will never recover from the insanity of being masked, distanced, and herded, the damage done by the bio-weapons ("vaccines") will never be reversed, etc etc. It's much easier to say NO and to stand up for things before they become normalized than it is afterwards. It might just be you and me in the end, but I will go out fighting in one form or another.
