"And yet no violence is committed… No vast purging. No reckoning to end all reckonings…"

I see this kind of thing all the time in boomer far-right circles. "How come everyone is a coward but me, I'm so brave to pound my chest on the internet but everyone else is a coward because no one acts! Did I mention I'm so brave even though I don't act either, because I'm the guy who points out that no one else acts?"

Instead of asking why no one else acts, why don't you ask yourself why you don't act? I don't mean this as any kind of accusation or even an incitement to act, I mean this literally. Ask yourself, and ponder the answer. If you understand why you don't act, you'll be better able to understand why others do not.

For the most part, everyone doesn't act because because they believe everyone else isn't going to act. Hence the chest pounding, they think they are brave enough to act if only someone else goes first... but of course no one wants to go first, to be that penguin who first jumps into the orca-infested waters. They want to be the penguin safely back in the flock, not the first and not the last.

The key to getting over this hump is leadership, which is what we lack, not bravery or foresight. This is why our enemy doesn't care about the truth getting out, they care about keeping leaders in check. This is why every leader of ours is controlled opposition, and above a certain level of organization always will be.

This has nothing to do with Christianity or paganism or whatever other nonsense people are peddling. It's basic human nature, which can be overcome by various tools provided for within most religions, or be suppressed with those tools provided for within most religions.
