Great post. In Europe, I would say that they are much closer to the point at which some kind of civil war must happen or it's truly the end of their civilization. The various governments are engaged in nakedly hostile politics against the historic peoples and it doesn't appear to me there is a critical mass of their publics that are prepared to really kick things off. I also think the all-encompassing nature of the modern state in the West these days makes it much more difficult
The 2020 and onward were similarly nakedly hostile to the historic American people, and out of concern of where that was all heading I started making some preparations. Trump's win last fall provided a temporary sense of relief but now I feel like I need to get back to being ready for some very turbulent times in the years ahead. We aren't out of the woods at all, but it does appear that there is a substantially larger share of the American public that recognizes what time it is than in Europe.
I think this is something that our favorite noticer, Steve Sailer, finds deeply unsettling. A lot of people in his age and demographic cohort do not want to admit that the institutions are wholly captured and we are slowly marching to systemic breakdown. The Canadian and European governments are now openly anti-democratic but Steve still thinks it's 1949.
Agree. For people who are of an age in which most of your life the West/US was relatively sane and optimistic it's hard to admit that your kids are not going to spend their lives in a similar world. There are going to be economic and political struggles ahead that will be very unpleasant to get through if we are successful in our goals, and probably the worst in our history if we fail. That said, I am still overall more optimistic than not for us, but I do think I will live to see the end of more than one Euro country as actually European in any meaningful sense.
Was heralded when Eric Holder (of the bag) openly pronounced Wall St Banks our sovereigns over a dozen years ago (sparing them the jury box). Inevitable then that someone's going to be hanging from lampposts.
The San Francisco judge citing discredited hoax articles from WaPo and NYT in his ruling as part of the justification to deny cancellation of TPS is peak "Theater Kid" governance. Even the lawfare is low caliber.
Watch for Netflix show references to be the inevitable next step.
Half of the West are outright Bolsheviks and the LEOs and military will shoot children in the head for that sweet, sweet pension. Revolution is not impossible but very daunting. I wish I were younger.
Samuel Whittemore was 79 years old when he shot a British officer off his horse, and sniped at the Regulars on the Lexington-Concord Road. He was caught, bayoneted 16 times, shot, and left for dead. He survived 17 more years, and fathered a son...
The Dissident Writer continues to expose my ignorance. What a great article.
Other thinkers of our ilk (Stormy Waters, Tom Luongo) predict an impending sovereign debt collapse for most European countries, and if so, the cartridge box is inevitable.

{ wouldn't let Putin off the hook so easily, he has been part of the WEF crowd along with Zelenskyy, pushing CBDCs/digital currency, social credit, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, and the rest. On his vaccine passports there was a QR code - and this failed due to massive resistance by the people - someone figured out how to substitute it with a QR code that read the Russian equivalent of "F*ck you". Putin hasn't dared to try to mobilize people in the western part of Russia - Moscow, St Petersburg, Voronezh, Kazan, Orël, and the like, he has stuck to the colonial holdings of Imperial Russia - and Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are resisting, especially after their soldiers come home in body bags and fill the cemeteries. Recruitment centers go up in flames, and trains are derailed (https://libcom.org/article/ongoing-sabotage-and-resistance-war-russia-and-ukraine-interview-boakanarchist-communist) - and drones get shot off from inside Russia. And Putin's oligarchs are getting more and more uncomfortable - and he's lost the post-Soviet generation - a lot of them to the ex-Warsaw Pact countries, a lot to Kazakhstan (Astana, Nur-Sultan) and Uzbekistan (Tashkent) - and some of those remaining behind dare to speak openly even as they face 15 year terms in prison for doing so - one 15 year-old got one of those 15 year sentences for an online comment.

It's refreshing to read someone just say what we all know: people need to die
This is one of your best essays in a while

Praying you are wrong but fearing you are right.

Sure go ahead and overthrow the government. As history tells us, it will be replaced by another, and another and another.
The soap box: so politicians can tell us more lies.
The ballot box: so we can vote for more and more government.
The jury box: so justice can be doled out to the innocent.
The cartridge box: so government never runs out of ammunition to murder its detractors.
