SOTT Blog Discussion, Summed up by A-Eye “Rogue Communties” LOL Irregular Compliance

stock, interesting and relevant as hell blog comments, the comments are at the far bottom, the summary by A-Eye is here.

The discussion on the SOTT (Signs of the Times) blog is a complex and somewhat philosophical conversation that touches on themes of political authority, individual choice, and historical interpretation. Here’s a breakdown of the key points being discussed:

1. Historical Reflection:
   Buffalo_Ken starts by referencing historical figures like President Lincoln and President Jackson, discussing the concept of federal authority versus states’ rights. He mentions the historical event of “nullification,” which was a legal theory that states could invalidate federal laws they deemed unconstitutional. Jackson, during his presidency, opposed this idea, asserting federal control, which eventually contributed to tensions leading up to the Civil War.
   The mention of the “Trail of Tears” refers to the forced relocation of Native Americans, which was a result of Jackson’s policies. Buffalo_Ken ties this historical centralization of power to Lincoln’s actions during the Civil War, where Lincoln asserted federal authority over the states, leading to significant conflict and events like Sherman’s March to the Sea.
2. Philosophical Argument:
   Buffalo_Ken is arguing against the idea of central authority, suggesting that the imposition of federal control over states or communities is fundamentally flawed. He invokes the concept of “nullification” and suggests that local authority and autonomy are preferable.
   The discussion transitions into a “war of ideas” between central control (federal authority) and local autonomy (what he refers to as “Rogue Communities”). Buffalo_Ken identifies himself as someone who supports local authority and opposes central control, likening his stance to being part of a “Rogue Community.”
3. Personal and Existential Reflections:
   Buffalo_Ken further reflects on the nature of human existence, choices, and the importance of standing by one’s beliefs. He suggests that failing to make a choice (in this context, choosing between central authority or local autonomy) is, in itself, a choice that could lead to undesirable outcomes.
   There’s a strong emphasis on truth and authenticity, with the suggestion that many people, particularly elites, have lost touch with what it means to be truly human. He also touches on the idea that material wealth and power are insignificant in the face of mortality and that how we treat others is ultimately what matters.
4. Response from JTF Truth:
   JTF Truth seems to echo the sentiment that reliance on central authority (or “man leaders”) is a result of societal conditioning. They suggest a hypothetical world where people are taught to rely on love, community, and divine guidance rather than on human leaders, aligning with the idea that centralized control is not necessary for a just society.
   The reference to “Imagine there is a Heaven” is a nod to John Lennon’s song “Imagine,” which envisions a world where people live in peace without the divisions created by religion, politics, and materialism.
   Summary:
   The conversation is an exploration of historical events, political philosophy, and personal beliefs, with a strong emphasis on the importance of individual choice and the rejection of centralized authority. The participants seem to advocate for a return to more localized, community-based decision-making, suggesting that this approach is more aligned with human nature and the pursuit of truth. The discussion reflects a deep skepticism of centralized power and a belief in the value of autonomy and self-governance.

President Lincoln I put forth was following through on what the former President Jackson declared in a proclamation against his vice president when Calhoun resigned said position after he put forth the reality of nullification….Jackson declared a proclamation that that was “not allowed” and asserted federal control authority and the rest is effing history – the Trail of Tears led to the Lincoln asserting federal authority upon states chose to join the union – with military force and the Sherman burned Atlanta – and well – this is history in action – do you know the details?

Have you studied up – on how this all unfolded?

Tis as simple as water flowing downhill…

when central control asserts authority

once they got it on the books

might as well be “law”…

but some of us know

better – we know

one things lead

to another and

now here we

are……

~

What you gonna do? Make a choice.

I know what side I am on – and

Jackson was wrong when he

dismissed with a proclamation

the concept of Nullification – cause that

was what Jefferson and Madison for sure concurred with.

~

Tis a WAR of ideas – at base tis simple:

Central Control versus Local Authority….

you make your choice – I consider myself a member of

a Rogue Community who gives no heed to central control tyrants.

JTF Truth – what choice do you make – are you for “central authority” or do you support Rogue Communities (RC’s) who believe in free will to make choices on their own accord?

You can’t “flake” this off – a choice is demanded.

You choose what you want to do and

what you ascribe to – but know this

I’m a member of an RC

community….and so

my fate goes

accordingly.

~

But the act of “not choosing” is equivalent to letting others choose your fate….or is it?

I reckon it just depends on The Fucking Truth.

Just the Truth and Nothing but the

Fucking Truth please.

~

Some of us a fed-up – and that is the truth….you can bank on it.

~

Some of us got ideas for a better future – and we don’t give up.

~

Some of us got a clue – about what it means to be human.

Do U?

I do.

~

Some, if not most of these so-called elitist have lost touch with what it means to be a human, and so seems evident, the time of choices is upon us – and Lincoln really should have let the South secede – cause if not then, then later on – secession happens when federal authority loses its sense of bearing. And that is that.

~

All the harm caused by so many in so many ways – and for what one wonders when we all ought know – we all are going to die eventually – an on your deathbed – what you gonna remember? I doubt it will be what wealth you accumulated in your earthly residence – more likely it will be how you treated others. And then, that most likely informs where your soul transpires.

~

Myself – I oppose central authority from the center of my being. I’ll take that to my grave.

Buffalo_Ken We’ve been conditioned to believe we need a man leader.

What would it be like if we taught 3 generations to love thy neighbour, that they need no man leader and that God and only God will guide us?

Hard to imagine after all the conditioning We’ve been through, all the lies, all the pain and suffering.

Imagine there is a Heaven, it’s easy if you try..
