It will be extreme incrementalism"<br /><br />Milton Mayer wrote about the incrementalism of Nazi Germany:<br /><br /> "You see," my colleague went on, "one doesn't see exactly where or how to move. Believe me, this is true. Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don't want to act, or even talk, alone; you don't want to 'go out of your way to make trouble.' Why not? - Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.<br /><br /> "Uncertainty is a very important factor, and, instead of decreasing as time goes on, it grows. Outside, in the streets, in the general community, 'everyone' is happy. One hears no protest, and certainly sees none. You know, in France or Italy there would be slogans against the government painted on walls and fences; in Germany, outside the great cities, perhaps, there is not even this. In the university community, in your own community, you speak privately to your colleagues, some of whom certainly feel as you do; but what do they say? They say, 'It's not so bad' or 'You're seeing things' or 'You're an alarmist.'<br /><br /> "And you *are* an alarmist. You are saying that *this* must lead to *this*, and you can't prove it. These are the beginnings, yes; but how do you know for sure when you don't know the end, and how do you know, or even surmise, the end? On the one hand, your enemies, the law, the regime, the Party, intimidate you. On the other, your colleagues pooh-pooh you as pessimistic or even neurotic. You are left with your close friends, who are, naturally, people who have always thought as you have.<br /><br />...<br /><br /> "But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. *That's* the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and<br />smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked - if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in '43 had come immediately after the 'German Firm' stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in '33. But of course this isn't the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.<br /><br />...<br /><br />The world you live in - your nation, your people - is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.<br /><br /> -- Milton Mayer, "They Thought They Were Free" pages 169-72<br /><br /><br />"Not one more inch" means nothing without an identifiable threshold.<br /><br />When? <i>When</i> is the time to start killing those who cross that threshold?Matthttp://www.rashynullplanet.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-18881782163393394402009-09-10T20:53:22.213-05:002009-09-10T20:53:22.213-05:00"There are only 545 human beings out of 300 m..."<i>There are only 545 human beings out of 300 million Americans that are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.</i>"<br /><br />What??

Before I discovered this site, I never even knew what a 3 Percenter was, or that many others share the same views as me. On popular gun forums that I always go to such as The Firing Line and THR, there indeed are many people who state that they will take drastic measures to defend the Constitution if all else fails, but usually these posts are made in very non-serious fashion.<br /><br />For me, my lines are drawn in most fields where constitutional freedoms are present, such as gun rights, right to choose my own healthcare, etc...<br />Marxist and collectivist terror have killed over 170 million people over the last century, and you can be damn sure I will fight against collectivism, and fight it in the most ferocious fashion, if it comes to that point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-56625479338532758462009-09-10T11:58:05.909-05:002009-09-10T11:58:05.909-05:00One more inch backwards and we may fall into the t...One more inch backwards and we may fall into the trench!<br /><br />I don’t see any choice “Not one more Inch”<br /><br />It looks like the Elite may push an Iran war to hide the October economic collapse. <br /><br />Has of June 30 they are 1882 banks have been given an “F” rating up 16% from March 30, 2009 and another 1800 banks are right behind them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-90981541437098365792009-09-10T11:41:41.568-05:002009-09-10T11:41:41.568-05:00Like my Mom said, 'They have flubbed their dub...Like my Mom said, 'They have flubbed their dub'.<br /><br />Mike H (without the period andWhat McAuliffe Said blogger -s-)Mike Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02330656826267706631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-27729136088487419482009-09-10T05:27:01.528-05:002009-09-10T05:27:01.528-05:00Not one more inch...

I let my NRA membership expire because until they start doing more than paying lip service to the whole "from my cold dead hands" line, I prefer to let my trigger finger do my 2nd amendment defense. The NRA is only there to pacify people like us and make us feel more secure while the abuses pile sky high. I'm not falling for it. Mike and all the others here are true defenders of liberty and the 2nd amendment.

I got up from my flower bed, where I was planting impatiens and told my wife she might want to get a divorce, because I wasn't backing up another step. No more seeing their side of it, no more benefit of the doubt, no more tolerance. I would fight and I would fight viciously.<br /><br />Knowing what kind of character assassination I would suffer upon my death (outnumbered really badly) and the spillover that would fall upon my family I urged her to leave me. She didn't. She said, "Do what you have to do." <br /><br />I haven't backed up another step yet, and I will not. I have gotten older, weaker, slower and less able to survive, but I now contemplate advance instead of refusal to back up.<br /><br />I am not stupid enough to believe I can survive the coming storm, but I can occupy a space a younger, stronger, more able to survive and prevail man can use as a stepping stone to the restoration of the republic.straightarrownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-27146503650314903702009-09-09T19:09:01.112-05:002009-09-09T19:09:01.112-05:00First off, thank you for answering my question. I...First off, thank you for answering my question. I understand now that you had answered it before, and that I hadn't quite gotten it. But now I do understand.<br /><br />I think I used to be a three percenter in the past, before this site existed. I parted ways with the gun culture a couple years ago. The reason I did this was that I could not stand being around people who claimed to support the second amendment, but believed in full enforcement of all current gun laws. <br /><br />You know, I don't think I became an adult until the day that I realized where my personal line in the sand was. Until you know you are ready to risk your life for something you believe in, do you really believe in anything? <br /><br />Men have only two ways to interact with each other. They are via consent, or via force. I believe that government cannot exist without forcing itself upon people. But life is not perfect. If government limited itself to the moral use of force it would be acceptable. <br /><br />Our society, however, believes that government force is always moral, and thus is not "violence". Thus, they will see a response to the next "inch" worth of government force as a reaction that is "unreasonable", and "violent". <br /><br />I believe it will be important for there to be a strong, active and always present PR presence if the line is crossed. Either a public face to be interviewed, or well produced HD video posted to the internet. Otherwise I think you'll be perceived as "racist militia nuts."<br /><br />I'm walking a different path than you. But I am a supporter.<br /><br />Thanks again for the answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-56895464432256092752009-09-09T18:26:59.141-05:002009-09-09T18:26:59.141-05:00sv said
