@jeff_gluck The elite and corporate overlords wonder why we "pirate" everything now a days. Because it's easier, not just because it's cheaper. I know where to go to watch something without having to research or look everything up.
The Battle of Kings Mountain.
Major Ferguson, he was shot by a 62-year-old mountain man named Robert Young. His rifle was named “Sweet Lips”
You can find what’s left of old Sweet Lips on display in the Tennessee State Museum.
Our children can shoot better than most grown men of other places, let alone a man who has had 62 years to practice and knows he won’t eat if he misses.
But just to add fuel to the already-simmering fire... You have added someone like Major Patrick Ferguson threatening to hang them all and burn their families' homes.. not super smart.
Not smart.. at all.. to threaten people who don’t miss. People whose very way of daily life trains them for excellence in war.
Our ancestors wrote lore we still talk about daily here in the mountains. Battles like Kings Mountain, Blair Mountain, Battle of Athens, Boonesboro, most of us long for what it would be like to be in those legendary circumstances.
Fairly often, I get messages from many Appalachians asking things like “When do we fight back?” or “When Boogaloo?” And I feel like I always end up being the wet blanket trying to calm everyone down. Violence doesn’t work like in the movies, just because we’re good at violence doesn’t mean we should always be seeking it out. Real violence escalates randomly, it happens and then the second, third, and fourth order effects come along and life never really goes back to normal.
Engaging in violence if you’re directly attacked (like Kings Mountain, like Battle Of Athens, like Blair Mountain) is okay. I think this goes to Just War Theory by St. Augustine. If we’re attacked, we fight back, if they’re just acting stupid and writing corrupt laws.. we wait and watch. I really feel it’s that simple.
It’s not exciting. It’s not glorious. But anyone who actually understands violence will be the very last to agree to it. A peaceful life once it’s lost is gone forever. So relax, enjoy your life, train, raise children.. eventually some tyrant will start a fight again, and that thunder you feel in your blood that your ancestors gave you will find its outlet on the battlefield. But until then enjoy your life.
Once Major Ferguson made his threats he was dead around an hour later. Tyrants remember these lessons we’ve taught them in the past. They’ll be slow in their approach, slow enough for you to live a peaceful life and prepare the next generation first.
So go do that.
@realmatt_re Now get angry about the billions and trillions of dollar, the monster class spend on killing and destroying far away places, so then our tax dollars can rebuild or relocate them.
@GruffGeezer@dogwoodblooms Oh no it's not. My camera are on a closed loop system, the only people that can see the videos are when I allow the video to touch the internet. If at anytime I want only ME to see the camera, bam on my intranet.
@voivodevl4d@RillaBitcoin@Megamaniak16 my advice is to build one, plenty of places to find plans. Not difficult. Buying one without the proper paperwork is illegal.
@ShoveUrProp@Megamaniak16 Are you trying to get us to turn over our battle plans to prove you wrong? IF you think government is the only ones with the cool tools, you know nothing about FLOCK, or the other private companies in the field.
@SSDavidT@Megamaniak16 Have you ever thrown away junk mail, not addressed to you? If so you commited a federal crime. Stop licking the boot of a government that hates you.
@RillaBitcoin@Megamaniak16 1.) u can disable the camera before u arrive w/ Wifi Jammers, 2.) If u're not high tech a group of people, some just watching how can you prove guilt on who is doing it? "Officer I was on a night walk, and ppl in black arrived destroyed them, there was nothing i could do."
@MaxPuster2@Electroversenet you see a map of a forest being cooler then a city, and your first thought Doom and Gloom? Personally I think it shows you the answer is simple. Make cities more like forests. Naval temps, we don't fulling understand it. See North Atlantic, and El Nino neither AGW.
@gape_gilbe24120@Liberty_Xtreme So, what have you done? Name yourself after a retared character in a movie, and use 90s Icon as your avator? Have you ever did anything epic in your life, you ever made a stupid decision? - Proposing on a spire, to a girl who climbed it w/ you is far from GAY. 🥕🧌
@Periit_Vir@ImBreckWorsham sure while you were over there killing "bad guys" some of us where growing the food that fed you, repairing the machines that keep your armed.
@SaharaCosmos ADHD, like OCD are relics of past tribal survival. They are not disorders nor superpower, they r survival tactics. Just like being an Night Owl (Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorder) our society is just built for the generalization. It's society we need to change not the kids/ppl
@PCBioCaptain@ayinde_omot2504@rawsalerts The Snyder Act, and it was pretty much written to give Native American duel citizenship, since inside the USA we do have smaller countries (Tribal Land) which we were still working on our relationships with them in 1924.
With Trovo closing in the coming days, we'd like to reach out and hand you a new home for you and your community.
Thank you, @trovolive for bringing something unique to the space for all these years. #RIPTrovo
