I'm sorry, what am I missing?
It's not the frowny face at the autonomous zone; it's the threat of "serious force".
But I'm letting it go. I was doing so well of late staying out of the good-Trump/bad-Trump brouhaha, until I foolishly re-entered. This has to be the dumbest waste of time evah. I think it must be a guy thing, to endlessly argue over politics toward no practical destination.
No one's mind has ever been changed, or will be. Not the smallest point will be conceded. If anything, the exchanges become ever more furious and nasty -- for some participants, anyway. Brangling endlessly over Left vs Right is like being stuck in hell's hamster wheel. As far as I can see, maintaining the righteousness of one side over the evil of the other might do something for the arguers, but if it's extreme enough it is assinine no matter which side is evangelizing, and does damn-all for humanity.
I can't promise to stay out of it, but I'm gonna try. Cuz this shit is depressing.

You are familiar with the veteran's shanty town and protests of 1932? And how Hoover cleared them out?
When George C. Patton rolls a tank over your tent, you move. When Douglas MacArthur tell his soldiers to fix bayonets and advance, people move.
Some didn't move or didn't move fast enough. Between the police and the army, they killed three protesters and 1000 of them had to be cared for at the hospital.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.
Warning: I post things that interest me. Read and comment at your own discretion. -

Reading and posting here can be very hard work. That’s why they call it work. It’s not supposed to be fun. If it was, they would call it work but the fun kind! Which they don’t. Can you even imagine anybody going around saying that posting to TNCR is work but the fun kind? lol that would be ridickulous

I get it...just not sure what the issue is. Are we really at a place in society where one think's it's OK to create a government-free zone, let alone inside the boundaries of the nation's capital? If, for example, a group of people tried to take over a city block, I would fully HOPE the police/military would clear them out, with serious force.

Education is extremely important.

We have never been at a place where blithering fools have felt more at ease letting everybody in on their cultural insights that are at a level of dumb only attainable by socially enforced group think.
See? Now, that's a great Horace post.
Great, because I could understand it, not over my head. -

That's one of the problems we face today. Too many pussified males, not enough real men.
