 The phrase is saying that when a crisis occurs, use that moment to actualize what you believe in.

And when they believe in power, it explains why the feudal lords will perpetuate the conditions for a crisis. It keeps the serfs powerless and dependent. I have no doubt your president will let all those illegal criminals back into your country if it means more power.

Admittedly, I don't know that much about your parties, but you and I both agree that they never let a good crisis go to waste, which means it will be impossible to find the kind of person you are looking for to abdicate your personal responsibility to.

I see on your news that your president is trying to solve a lot of problems using armed troops. This is the example I am talking about when individuals don't care about taking individual action against crime and waiting around for someone else to solve individual problems. When those soldiers are gone, who is going to take care of your family? Who is going to really keep you safe?


If you think the solution to your problems is a different figurehead with troops, then you are a perfect candidate for throwing your life away for their cause. The world is littered with graves filled with people who trusted the government over themselves. The world already has a serious problem with instant validation through social media, where individuals believe total strangers care about them and will help "solve their problems." Extending that power to even more distant bureaucrats is a one-way ticket to that worldwide grave.

The point of government is to be the means by which society comes together to solve it's problems. Ensuring freedom, choices, and liberty is part of that.


I suppose that's one of many reasons why your country is in such crisis. Individuals solve problems, not overcompensated figureheads.


There's one party whose famous line of reasoning is to "never let a good crisis go to waste."

Like I told McDonald's, this isn't mere arm-folding going on in those sanctuary cities. Sanctuary from federal law is a crime. Obstruction is a crime. Nullification is a crime. Registering criminals as citizens for the sole purpose of creating congressional seats is a crime. It's even worse than the 3/5 compromise hack for congressional power, since at least that was voted on. Nobody voted to count criminal non-citizens in the census. If you want actual sanctuary, leave the country of US jurisdiction (legally) or start another one of your civil wars.

It's a crime to avoid a legal point of entry. Your government for decades had the right to detain people to verify they had green card papers without citizenship. Not having authorization papers is a crime, according to your Congress. This isn't a new thing, no matter what your activists are telling you. Your activists can't just erase congressional laws passed 30 years ago.

if the government itself has no record of you ever being processed, then by definition you avoided legal entry and that should be a crime, regardless of whether you personally “lost your papers.”

It's a murder because your activist media called a drug overdose a murder, before they were even thinking about picking a jury. Your salaried activists made sure that American cop was a dead man walking before any due process. Again, nobody is in jail.


The more I think about it, your country is operating today exactly as the South did during Reconstruction era. Justice via mob rules written by those out to exploit.

which reserves powers not delegated to the federal government..


Doesn't your federal government have the power to secure borders from invasions? Article I, Section 8?


Hell, I'm not even an American, but you seem to know less about your own country than foreigners do!


 they merely deny federal agents


That is texbook aiding and abetting. Most countries consider that a serious crime.

It depends on how wealthy the cult leaders are. Your corporate activist media was responsible for hundreds of deaths, inciting American riots a few years ago. Nobody is in jail.
