You are Part of a Cultural Insurgency
If you’re not familiar with Tim Pool, he is an independent journalist who runs a good sized nightly YouTube show. The clip below is his assessment on the current state of second amendment culture, and while he can be bombastic at times, here he is absolutely correct.
The video below should show up, but if you actually have to click through it’s worth the quick watch.
The predominant culture within the gun community has been conditioned (by the NRA and republican political leadership) to continuously fold under any amount of pressure. They attempted to satiate the beast, thinking it will stave off the perpetual apatite the left has for power. Like cutting of your hand to feed a rabid wolf, hoping it doesn’t come back to finish you off, all the while you gave the animal a taste for human, and now that hunger can never be satisfied.
But we have learned from past mistakes.
We are seeing an insurgency within the gun culture. Driven by a younger generation influenced by media from the 90’s and 2000’s. We grew up playing Golden Eye, Halo, and Call Of Duty. We idolized movies like The Matrix and Black Hawk Down. We saw guns as cool, wielded by awesome action heroes, and we grew up wanting to emulate them.
We were never tainted by the NRA’s compromised culture of bowing down any time it was inconvenient to have rights. We educated ourselves on the true meaning of the second amendment, and we embody the classic American spirit of patriotic resilience.
We will never apologize for our rights, and we will never compromise.
We are not the dominant culture yet, but it’s at a tipping point, and the undercurrent of second amendment absolutism has been driving political policy the last few years.
We currently have 1,930 counties (61% of the U.S.) that are second amendment sanctuaries. Texas makes for the 21st state to pass constitutional carry, and that number will grow after the mid terms, and it seems like every week we hear about new local pro gun legislation being proposed or passed.
It’s not the fudds that are driving this, it’s us. The gun rights extremists who refuse to cede ground, and will get back what was taken from us.
“Culture is everything, politics is irrelevant” and we are taking over the second amendment culture. We are only going to get more wealthy, more powerful, and more influential. As we get older we will infiltrate institutions and political offices everywhere. It’s not a fast strategy, but it’s the only way to have meaningful political change.
This is your reminder that even though it seems so bleak sometimes, what we are doing is working, and we will win.
