    If you want thew single most-reprinted, most-studied book on overthrowing an established government, then that is your textbook. If you can't afford the book's cost, then you can't afford to run a new government.

    Obviously, reading is above your job description.

    Was Donald Trump the author?

    Click the link and find out. Or is that above your intellect level?

    You cite books and articles you have not read.

    The bad police did not set those 15 murders in motion. Those 15 murders, are strictly the fault of the perpetrators of the murderers. Period. They could have easily chosen not to take a life, but they did not make that choice. Same as the bad cops who murdered Floyd. Two wrongs, don't make a right, and emotional distress over some bad cops, does not justify these 15 murders in any way.

    Absolutely not. I am quoting myself here:
    The bad police did not set those 15 murders in motion. Those 15 murders, are strictly the fault of the perpetrators of the murderers. Period. They could have easily chosen not to take a life, but they did not make that choice. Same as the bad cops who murdered Floyd. Two wrongs, don't make a right, and "emotional distress" over some bad cops, does not justify these 15 murders in any way.

    As far as your two Irishmen analogy: This is correct, if it only happens once, or rarely. But, if every day, multiple times per day, 2 more Irishmen get in a drunken brawl and kill each other, then yes, eventually the numbers would be staggeringly disproportionate to their population percentage, and we would be calling for the Irish population to clean up their act.

    Empty claim as you haven't, yourself. I first read it in high school. My point remains, these punks don't know the first thing about bringing a country to its knees. This book has been cited as a resource in several African coup d'etats and other places.

    Look, I ask you a simple question and you refer me to a whole book. The usual reason that is done is because someone doesn't understand what they're saying enough to state it in a few words and that means quite simply that they quite literally don't know what they are talking about. Do you?

    To overthrow a government exceeds the allowable number of words permitted in excerpts of published copyrighted material. Call that a dodge if you will but I am not endangering my own interests by exceeding a usual 200 to 300 words. Anything LESS than book length undercuts the scope of the work. It addresses the problems and advantages of various insurrections and why they fail. It's a textbook on where Burn, Loot and Murder went wrong.

    That explains your state of mind. If a good samaritan flips you off your back and sets you in the direction you want, you might get the action you purport to aspire to.

    My "state of mind" began in high school, realizing the stupidity, corruption and incompetence so prevalent in the Party of the Donkey. I saw union corruption, teachers' politicization of issues instead of teaching objective history or current events. I saw Democrats blindly swallow Buba Dropdrawers' brazen lie that he did not have relations with the porker in blue. I heard lies until Hell wouldn't have it, and I have had enough.

    If they flip off my back I wouldn't see or be offended by them. Learn to write.

    I see, very interesting.

    Let me rephrase; How does the book in any way whatsoever answer the question I (implicitly) put to you? That is; how would leftists make themselves look good by starting riots?

    Implicitly, I began mocking this whole thing when I mentioned the book at all, knowing that liberals ALWAYS use lengthy reference tomes to buttress their wild claims and INSTANTLY want synopses if anyone tries it on them. Congratulations. You won the door prize.

    Leftists can make themselves look good by staying home and out of peoples' way.

    Speaking of irrelevant and gasping, here's Elwood Blues doing his very best Joe Biden impersonation in the opening of "Rubber Biscuit".....

    Your no-prizes are lousy, the mailman gets a hernia from not lifting them

    It's my contention that we liberals generally do stay at home, at least I don't know any who go out much. It's conservatives who are starting trouble and then blaming it on us.

    Yeah, there's only thousands of Antifa and BLM punks running around ignoring the proximity rules.
    Staying home. Right.

    If Joe Biden could do that they'd probably make him President For Life

    The Blues Brothers, the greatest proof I know that Musical Acts are just comedians that aren't funny but somehow don't get heckled either.

    From where I view it, you're farther left than even that, so from your viewpoint you are correct.

    I am the essence of sweetness and light to other conservatives. The rest are simply fair game.
