If You Stand For Nothing, You Fall For Anything
There are exceptional people who I have met that stand up against Tyranny and I mean in ways that are creatively brave. Sometimes it is other "truthers" and "freedom fighters" who are the Tyrants, sometimes HOPE is the person who is the quiet Rogue who takes slings and arrows that soldiers on with their head held proudly and high regardless of their lot in life that becomes the proverbial "Katniss" Archetype that wants to see the Wheat separate from the Chaff and for the deserving to get their rewards.
I see change coming and know that there is power in numbers where we all are able to pay our bills without "gaming" what is thought of as the weaker crowd and not stand in apathy while the wicked wring us out to dry. Yes, many of us feel it in our Marrow, we feel the winds of change whipping up in sometimes very targeted and deliberate shell games that those with their illusory power thinks will keep us at bay. Last night I removed some misleading information and said a few simple things," If you are a fence sitter in matters of obvious wrong doing then you will get splinters in your ass."
"You are the company you keep and when you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas"... and so as easy money is being displayed to the world remember that like Hawks there are those who watch and there are those who Shepard and then there are those who herd. A word of advice, if you are being herded make sure it's not off to the proverbial glue factory.

I stood, and it hurt, but yes at least I won't wake up with fleas. Thanks for all you do for steemit, and for all you do for discord chat. Keep up the good fight. I will keep doing what I can do in the background to make this a better place too!
I am also currently in Las Vegas at the stand event. Protesting in real life too.. get to see Adam kokesh and hopefully Ron Paul later. Woooot, life is good
That's seriously nice of you to say and glad to hear your story .....sounds like a great event, hope you post of it, take care :)
I love your bold ideas. I agree that those who really take a step back and thoughtfully choose the life they want to live, will be the ones who ultimately live free in this generation. Thank you for sharing
Thank You for reading and appreciating it, great and thoughful comment
Great piece. Love the way you write @battleaxe
Wish I had your insight but at least I got hope..
when I see good content makers leaving and good content makers not getting a fraction of what some who are known bad guys get, there WILL be change
if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything. If you don't believe in yourself, you will believe others. Great post. UpVote deserved.
Let those who play with shadows fear the light.
agreed
I like toast 🍞
meep has a girlfriend

Joan of Arc eh? I imagine you always carry a sword or Xena disc thingy wherever you go.
Just saw this post in @swolesome's feed. Thought I'd check it out. Glad I did. Too many people sit idly by while tyrants rampage, it's how they get away with it for so long.
