Walker Percy, Love In The Ruins:
Now in these dread latter days of the old violent beloved U.S.A. and of the Christ-forgetting Christ-haunted death-dealing Western world I came to myself in a grove of young pines and the question came to me: has it happened at last?
Two more hours should tell the story. One way or the other. Either I am right and a catastrophe will occur, or it won’t and I’m crazy. In either case the outlook is not so good.

The term "militant" comes from the word military, and implies that these people are using force to accomplish their goals. After a bit of thought about the words used, this becomes a self-answering question. If they are "militants", we use force against them, up to and including deadly force, if required.
Letting "militants" get away with it encourages more illegal use of force against us, and that is very stupid, and very counter productive.

Try a lead pipe or high speed lead pellet. You aren't going to accomplish anything except get yourself hurt or worse using sweet reason.

Standing tall, yelling 'NO' loudly and being armed and ready to defend ourselves, our families, and our nation. These 'woke' children will slink away as the cowards they are if vigorously opposed. Soros isn't paying them enough to die for their beliefs. Yes, some will fire back but a fusillade of lead will prevail.

I like how Christopher Walken warned a few miscreants in his NYC mobster accent that he'd, "stab them in the face with a soldering iron."

I would love to see the "militant" cutie Ninja boys, all of them, in their Seattle cop free zone run up against a company of 101 Airborne or even a squad of Seals. The fight would be over in minutes..
These morons and most of their journalista buddies have not the remotest clue what militant is.

I have read this and find the questions very disturbing. Where are the Christians who reject Moralistic Therapeutic Deism in favor of doctrine? How do the hollowed out churches become strong enough to push back against the "woke" militants?
Who can survive against the people bent and determined to destroy reputations and careers? These are evil people. Who will fight, and how?

When Bill Clinton was the subject of impeachment, CSPAN changed it's call-in procedures to alternately sample Democrat and Republican because the calls were overwhelmingly anti-Clinton.
Today, we voluntarily do this for CSPAN and every other institution by completely and utterly failing to plant an individual flag on any topic that is contrarian to statist doctrine.
The can do two things today that would help immensely:
1. Get on your social media and post a soft "No." Not everybody can brazenly call out BLM, or the Democrats, or Antifa for the fascists that they are, but you can usually get away with a soft no. Look for anything written or said by a conservative African-American and repost it without comment. None is needed. The value is in letting other kindred spirits know they are not alone. (We're like closeted Gays in the 1950's !) The silence is so overwhelming and universal that any contrarian sentiment has great value.
2. Get a throw-away email address, create comment accounts on media outlets, and start posting your a) your point of view and b) that you're afraid of punishment by the Left for speaking your mind candidly. Again, others like you need to know they are not alone.

In the televised service, we got the racial sensitivity / go out and vote speech from the preacher last Sunday. My guess is that he's trying to keep our church from being burned. (However, this is a very liberal church which even has a new Sunday school class called the Progressive Class.) My grand niece was seen on Facebook last week carrying a No Justice No Peace sign. Her mother, whom I thought was conservative, "Liked" the picture. And lastly two nights ago I was interesting in participating in sewing group on Facebook----just sewing, nothing political in the topic. In order to join, I had to agree that Black Lives Matter would be supported in the group and that any insensitive comments, including "All Lives Matter," would be cause of immediate removal. I went ahead and joined the group, and then the third posting down was a Black Lives Matter slogan. Just out of the blue---nothing to do with the topic of the group. Needless to say, I immediately officially left the group. It is all around us.

At some point the fight-- if there is going to be one--will have to move beyond the Internet.

A sweet man, but a sheep. He doesn't approve of the woke, but Trump is gauche. What will he do, other than walk (with a smile) to the slaughter?

We use force that is of sufficient quantity and quality to defeat them. We use intelligence gathering to arrest and jail their leaders. In Seattle we send in battle hardened National Guard who spent time in Iraq and other dumps in the Middle East and have vast experience dealing with third rate bullies! A soy boy in Seattle doesn't match a terrorist that has been at war for 30 years in Iraq!

Isn't this a question we are all asking? What do we do to fight back? Our leadership is quaking in their boots. Even my local craft company is pledging allegiance to Black Lives Matter. I agree: "One thing I believe conservatives have to be willing to do is to withdraw from supporting public and private institutions that endorse and implement wokeness. Take your money and your labor away. Stop supporting institutions and organizations that are working against you. If we don’t know yet how to effectively fight the putsch, at least we can stop supporting the organizations that putschists have conquered. Make leaders who capitulate to the mob pay a price. When leadership stands firm, reward them." Not sure how my local craft supply company will fight racism, but if they were barring the door to people of color, then I agree, stop doing that. Otherwise, how were craft supplies racist before this latest outrage?
