You have started down a path which I believe leads to self destruction. Take a look at my country(Canada) and you will see where you are headed. We have no right to self defense and the Liberal government here is working at breakneck speed to steal our legally acquired firearms while at the same time putting criminals back on the street as soon as they are apprehended. In short they are treating law abiding citizens like criminals while their focus is in putting criminals back on the street at lightening speed. They are orchestrating a complete breakdown in our society. I hopw those in the U.S. stand up and stop this nonsense in their own country.
Greetings from Valencia, Spain my friend Ben. I have enjoyed your recent blogs about sailing and learning to habla espanol.
A quick point about the state of the US and law and order. For many leaving is a difficult decision. Both emotionally and financially so they do what most do . . . . Procrastinate first and then FREEZE up and do nothing hoping for the best. Bad idea folks! Ignoring the coming collapse of American society won't stop it from happening but preparing for the worse has a high probability of saving you and your family from devastating physical, emotional and financial consequences.
But like you always say, there is much that we all can do to prepare for the worse and that starts with being the BEST version of yourself. Starting with mental, spiritual and physical health. Exercise and meditate and journal daily. Daily reflection yields great dividends.
Identifying gun friendly and law-abiding states that support the US Constitution is paramount to having a chance at survival and for having a quality law enforcement community committed to law and order as well as a citizen's right to defend themselves and their family and property.
In case anyone reading this isn't sure where NOT to live let me be direct. California, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Washington DC are the last place you want to live in America if freedom, liberty, law and order and low taxes are your goals.
Thier are plenty of other states where one can find like-minded citizens and community along with the Constitutional governments that support common sense and the rule of law. Where criminal activities are not tolerated, and activist prosecutors and judges don't reside. Develop a plan of action before its too late.
My understanding is that, where you live in Uruguay, shooting someone that has you in a chokehold would probably also land you in prison for murder due to the lack of "proportionality", because even though your assailant was trying to kill you, he didn't use a gun, ergo you must respond with superior kung-fu.
Nobody is talking about running. If you haven't learned how to diversify your wealth abroad, obtain residencies/citizenships, and get home bases in safe havens in Eastern Europe, LatAm, or Asia you're not gonna make it this time around
No, if someone was trying to kill you in Uruguay and you shot them in self-defense you'd stand a much much greater chance of walking away from it. People accept evil less there.
Also, would Xenophon talk to people like an pompous loser? Change your username.
“Visually man” is a thing, too. And in this “movie based on” actual events:
Man kills a violent trespasser in self-defense. Man kills himself in violent self-defeat. And some other man, of dubious credentials - two words too often synonymous & with the same initials as “District of Columbia” - advises better to be killed than to kill & then kill yourself (or “get in trouble”).
Checking off the “dangerous man” box is easier done than lived unless you already happen to be a dangerous man.
Or unless being a danger to yourself counts, too.
Gardner’s life sentenced wasn’t over until he made it so.
Also in 2020 Kyle Rittenhouse shot three, killing two, in similar circumstances.
False compartments & demarcations how-it-“turns outs” (such as checkered flags, etc) - beyond the ultimate turn out which is the same for everyone & everything - colonizes the minds of many Commonwealth/y & misses the point the better to hit the “point” of inherent planned obsolescence that the hive-matrix panders to, subsidizes-sells “free”subscriptions to, “strengthens” all the live long days of sand-thru-the-hourglass or stopwatch tik-tok lives … the tragedy of the commons is the commons/“wealth.”
How matters. Not how it turns out (repeat: that is the same for e&e). Maybe that’s a dangerous idea, thought.
Not all, or even close to it, helplessness is learned. And psychologists drowning rats proves not the thesis those projectors pitch, any more than child psychos torture-killing small animals does.
Innate helplessness cannot be unlearned … wherever you go, whatever you do, there you are, were, will be. And the paradise placebo effect attracts, then wears off.
I moved from California to Oklahoma 4 years ago with 9 friends who got out. We left during the pandemic. Colorado is not where you should stay: and it has nothing to offer but beauty and nature. Go to a "red" state, where people have rights, they are kind, they are helpful, and when you get there, go to a small town, not the big city. The whole of the US is not bad, but when you get liberal venues, or bad legislators, it shows quickly. We will continue to fight here for independent living,.. free of mandates, and bad management. The weather is not the best, but it is always a trade. Look at the Midwest, the South and Texas, ....as well as here, if you want to make a change. Stay out of the places that worship Hollywood, and those kinds of values.

Running from problems does not solve them.

This was Michael Mann’s first. Made for TV. “Visually Mann” is a thing, a consistent thing.

And/rumroll so … there is no place on the planet where the true isn’t surrounded & heavily outnumbered by the false.
Stub/born. Not made. Not chosen: “I choose to be a stoic - just like Epictetus! Memento mori!”

RE guns: Better tried by 12 than carried by 6.
In Florida, victims are not punished for self defense. Colorado is too Blue for you.
