RE: Not My Meme! #1126
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
"...control of media, communications, finance and surveillance."
Gasp! what about that free press and privacy we ordered the USG not to transgress in the document that grants it the privilege of serving as our means of self governance?
Yeah, that's all actually not lawful in the USA.
"...it’s hard to see how fragmented civilian armies could mount any serious challenge to the state."
You'd be quite shocked how quickly a few veterans can cobble some up. As I stated, the USG used to war game rebellions regularly, and never once won against civilians. US servicemen are volunteers, and swear an oath to defend the people, and the Constitution, not government agencies and corrupt bureaucrats, and most of them know the difference. Also, they have families, and if the USG is attacking civilians with military force, their families, mothers, brothers, wives, and daughters are in the crosshairs.
It's hard to understand how half of them don't join the rebellion.
"Are they going to bite the hand that feeds..."
Many will not. But folks that will put up with tyranny for ~$200 a month in food stamps aren't worth much to folks with merit, and most would meet Yuval Hariri's description of 'useless eaters'. They're neither going to rebel, nor oppose them that do, so I don't think they matter much either way. When armed civilians outnumber soldiers >100:1, any egregious tyrannical oppression isn't likely to be long tolerated, and soldiers ordered to illegally wage war on the civilian population they've sworn to protect, that they joined the service to protect, are naturally going to be conflicted, and some will be outright rebellious about such orders. They're being ordered to stop being the heroes they signed up to be, and become the villains they signed up to fight against. Most people really depend for their self esteem on a (often false) sense of being virtuous. Shooting at crowds of civilians is what bad guys do, and everybody knows it.
I don't think it's a leap of faith to expect soldiers to be extremely hesitant to shoot into crowds that could contain their mothers, sisters, and daughters. Maybe even to prefer to shoot at the assholes giving those illegal orders to commit war crimes. There were a lot of officers shot over in Vietnam. Such development isn't unpredictable, nor unprecedented.
But, if you sign up a bunch of foreigners to your army, no problems at all,...
You might read up on the Praetorian Guard. Maybe it was the Varangian Guard? Forces consisting of non-natives are notorious for treachery, mutiny, and revolt. That has always been a problem. It is why Rome grew from nothing with a citizen army, and fell to it's own troops comprised of Goths, although Theodoric simply cut out the corrupt garbage and kept Rome going for decades until his death.
I do get your point, that foreign mercenary forces are somewhat more willing to trample the natives. There's limits to that too, and this is alarming to those soldiers that join the military forces with a promise of citizenship. They are not unaware they are destroying the value of that citizenship when they're doing it.
No shortage of folks willing to sell their souls for the overlord's gold, for now.
They will be in shorter supply when that gold comes at a higher cost to the souls selling.

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko
Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree, but allow me to make two final points.
First, on war games: games have rules, but when your back is against the wall and there’s a gun to your head, rules evaporate.
Second, on people’s tolerance for tyranny. If the Covid nonsense taught us anything, it’s just how far reality can be bent before it finally breaks, and the answer is: much further than anyone imagined. No guns were required to persuade most to lock themselves indoors, to distrust their own eyes, or to accept that hospitals were simultaneously overwhelmed and empty enough for choreographed routines, that masks worked… except when they didn’t, that vaccines stopped transmission… until they didn’t and that “two weeks to flatten the curve” quietly stretched into two years.
I rest my case:)
