      You can believe in the right to revolution without believing that it is at all times right to start a revolution.https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1288123198932807684 …

      I'm not quite sure how conservative opposition to civilian violence against federal police officers squares with their "insurrectionist" theory of the Second Amendment, which holds that civilians must bear arms so they can assassinate tyrannical officials. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/08/trumps-assassination-joke-is-the-logical-endpoint-for-the-gop.html …

      So who decides when it is the right time to start a revolution?

      It is always the challenge of revolutionaries to make the case on the merits that tyranny demands revolution. They were justified in 1775-76. They were not in 1861. They are not in 2020. History is long: the day may come, some day, when we need revolution again. Not today.

          I've made this case for years: you want to invoke revolution, you have a duty to follow it all the way through to years of bloody warhttps://thefederalist.com/2014/12/08/the-ferguson-riots-are-nothing-like-the-original-tea-party-protests/ …

          Yup. In a backhanded way, I have some respect for the far-left bombers of the 70s. They were grossly wrong, but they actually did what they professed, more or less. That was a serious(if deeply stupid) attempt at revolution, not just LARPing.

          Since we’re using history, when someone without my pigmentation says “give me liberty or give me death” be it in 1776 or 1861, they were ultimately seen as Patriots. That history is constant. Not so when someone like me says it. That’s when folks are likepic.twitter.com/yvYxRCKr0M

          "Groups of white people were never forcibly set down by the government" is a strange history of the Whiskey Rebellion, the Civil War, Waco, or really a whole lot of American history. It is not even remotely accurate.
