Private Thoughts

Dear Protestor:

You left-wing activists, you self-proclaimed Freedom Fighters, this message is for you.

When your side wins (which I believe it will), you will have succeeded in bringing down the greatest civilization in the history of the world. BUT…it may not be everything you expect it to be.

You see, in a totalitarian society, you don’t get to protest the government. You are not allowed to protest, riot, blog, or even talk shit when you’re unhappy with your country. If the wrong person gets wind of your attitude, or if one of your “friends” turns you in because you wouldn’t lend him your money or your wife…well, you will be in deep shit.

You might be in deep shit even if you didn’t say anything, because in a dictatorship the term “due process” is unknown. The accusation is all it takes, and no matter how innocent you think you are, you will confess when they start ripping out your fingernails and putting your testicles in a vise. Yeah, that’s what will happen in America after you “win”.

There won’t be any safe spaces. No coloring books. No crisis counsellors. Just the motherfucker with the whip and the electrodes who gets paid a bonus when he gets you to confess. This is coming very soon. It’s almost here.

Want to protest against guns? Go ahead. The government will have guns but you won’t, because you protested them and they were ultimately banned. So when they come after you with Glocks and Uzis, well, you will stand there naked.

And afraid. Very, very afraid.

Congratulations, dumbass. Enjoy your victory.
