To Stop The Coup, We Must Be Clear About The Truth: Two Plus Two Equals Four by Mike Brock

This isn’t just wrong as a matter of law—it represents an attack on the very concept of law itself. If we accept that the president can unilaterally shut down congressionally established agencies, then congressional power to establish agencies becomes meaningless. If executive authority can override clear statutory mandates, then our entire system of checks and balances collapses.

This is precisely how democratic breakdown occurs—not just through the violation of laws, but through the corruption of the very language and concepts we use to understand law. When we accept arguments that two plus two equals five—that presidents can simply ignore congressional statutes at will—we’re not just making a legal error. We’re participating in the dismantling of constitutional order itself.

“anarchist calisthenics”

@millennialrox

what do you think about this concept? the underlying issue in the states is that revolting is extremely difficult because there’s no support system. almost no paid vacation days. people working multiple jobs. high Healthcare costs so people can’t risk their jobs. no savings to sit on while revolting. the foundation isn’t there as it is in a country like France for example. so that’s ultimately the uphill battle for real change to happen.
