 Today, it feels like the political class treats us as we represent some sort of gigantic tragedy of the commons problem that they must solve.

People in group A tell themselves:

"If I don't brainwash and weaponize the people against group B, then group B will brainwash and weaponize the people against us."

and vice versa.

Therefore, they prey on us as we were some stupid grazing buffalos that "nobody owns."

This leaves us with no other option than to fight back against the political class as if it was a pack of wolves.

But remember, this is a war of ideas, and if you are stupid enough to bring violence to the battlefield you will normally only end up causing damage to your own cause.

Fight the war of ideas.

Make it a Sound Rebellion.
