    I want you to imagine an indestructible box filled with all the world’s comforts. How do you craft it? How do you procure the materials to craft it? How do you search for the means to find the materials to craft it? Hard questions without a simple solution.

    Now I want you to picture a decently sturdy box filled with some neat stuff. And now I want you to picture yourself bashing it to pieces. Pretty doable, right?

    It’s easy to break something of value, it’s near impossible to craft the invincible. Especially when half of your team is actively bashing.

    So all of these answers have some truth to them, but they are also missing a key factor. The heritage foundation exists because they are paid tons of money by billionaires to sit around and come up with ways to strengthen their dominance over society. The left simply doesn’t have many supporters with that level of wealth. While it’s possible to do this on a voluntary basis it’s a lot harder than getting paid to do it.

    Oh there’s an opposing force alright. It’s not quite legal, there’s a lot of blood involved, and currently is not justified. However, if it ever starts happening I think we will see it happen at some point.

    People on the left have historically had a lot of difficulty organizing, I think in part because they are always trying to impose their subjective point of view on others and that prevents them from forming a plan of action and following it.

      Because the biggest enemy of someone on the left, is another person on the left with slightly different viewpoints than their own.
