I had this plan before TWP
Before I was part of it.
running in local elections can be really useful
that can effect more change than running for Congress. Change over real peoples' lives
Wouldn't we be admitting that the federal government is a legitimate government for our people
TWP had always talked about running in locals to my knowledge
we can't go all ancap
saying it legitimizes the system is gay
what matters is power
not legitimization
Also if you guys were to rally there, I could protect your rights as a city official
I was under the impression the plan was to start grassroots communities that eventually declare independence. I want to replace the government not join them
Pitting yourself into passivity because of abstract ideas isn't how you gain power
look at it this way
if you're a city official you would be the one by default (or one of them) if such a secession happens
you'd already be in power in these peoples lives
I think a lot of that was predicated upon some shtf scenario where the system collapses
probably will happen sometime but I wouldn't necessarily plan around that being the case
You can't secede without have the positions of power to declare secession.
I don't see secession happening outside of a scenario like that
local government isn't the problem
If only power matters, what does it matter if they would view us as a legitimate power or not
The CSA was only able to secede because they had power in the areas that seceded, you need the power to secede, the national government is the issue not my city government.
It matters in the minds of a lot of normies
they look up to those in power
You need power to formally secede.
We don't need normies we need fanatics
My hope is to run for governer one day although that's probably a pipe dream.
Normies follow the flow of society like logs on a river
Normies become fanatics. I was a normie 3 years ago.
You could actually.resist the federal government if you were a governor
Most normies will fall in line, but only if you have power
We need normies to follow us
I can resist the government by not recognizing any authority over myself or my people
we can larp about doing that just by being alpha and shit but even hitler had popular support, more or less
don't just ignore the normie
I don't need to. Once we have true power over ourselves, normies will come.
@WeIrDGuy Do that and you're basically a Sovereign Citizen
As if that really means anything to the government
it doesn't
