People in the 21st Century Have Forgotten How to Resist Tyranny – Here’s a History Lesson from the Civil Rights Movement
As more and more people around the world finally start to wake up and understand that the "war against the virus" has been a plan from the beginning for tyrants to seize control of society and implement a medical police state that controls every aspect of our lives and enslaves us, they are beginning to venture out of their homes and take to the streets in protest. But protesting alone is not going to push back tyranny. As I watch video clips shot from people's cell phones during many of these protests, mostly outside the U.S. at this point as most Americans are still asleep, what I am seeing is a modern population who knows something is wrong and is trying to do something about it, but don't know how. When thugs who call themselves "police" gang up and beat the crap out of someone to make an example out of them, the crowds who are there just watch and video record it, even if they outnumber the police in some cases by more than 10 to one. History shows us that to fight tyranny and seek freedom from the tyrants, you have to be willing to count the cost, and sacrifice your own comfort and safety, even if it costs you your life. Because the alternative is slavery. And that is the choice that is facing nearly all citizens around the world today: do you want to live as slaves and allow the government to control every aspect of your life, or is freedom worth the price to put your own life on the line, both for you, your children, and future generations? Ranting on social media and accumulating "likes," starting petitions and getting lots of people to sign them, or filing lawsuits against the tyrants to try and make them do the right thing, is not going to work. And history bears this out as well. This is not a call to arms, although it may come to that. History shows that passive resistance to tyranny can be very effective, if enough people come together to resist the tyrants. In this article I want to highlight the historic protest march from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery in 1965, as it has many lessons for us today.
