The Fight's On

You should begin to understand all this less as abstract metaphor, and take it all at face value. You are living in a gang war, now, thinly mediated only by political institutions which are less and less able every day to manage it.

Ah-yup III. Over at Keep and Bear Arms, a guy posting as madashell(I think) says to listen to http://stevequayle.com/qf_december_01_2008.mp3. I did. It kind of rambles, after the 4min. song about the alphabet agencies already being briefed to confiscate guns and lock up resistors, but doesn't refer to exact times,dates, who what when where. Anyone have any specifics, or is this just rubbish? He states that Longshanks is already ordering the ATF, FBI, etc., around and giving orders. Anyone?

Good find. Well said.

"And you should consider what must be resisted: "the default privatism of American life". Gitlin is referring to nothing more or less than the Declaration of Independence. That is your "American life" that he's talking about. No philosophical-parlor amusements among friends or any of that: this is for real.

You are bound for the hive.

You'd better keep that fact straight."
