GOA used to be amazing up until what they did a couple weeks ago and today. They didn’t publicly endorse Massie until after the polls opened. Today they endorsed Byron over Fishback for FL governor. Not only is Fishback more pro 2A than Byron, he hasn’t and won’t take money from AIPAC like Byron.
It’s a shame because up until today I was a proud GOA supporter. They used to be the “NRA but with a spine”. Not anymore. They are getting a lot of blowback online. I’ve never seen GOA members be angry at GOA before.
Every long term successful movement had all of these elements. All of them. Even lacking a single one will cause chaos. The fascists in italy, for instance, had the first 2 but not the last, as a result it was under enormous internal stress until 1943 with the left-fascists under mussolini himself "winning" the day and getting everything they wanted (with an enormous side effect of the country splitting in half, obviously) since 1919.
I know i used a political example, but it applies to everything remotely controversial and contentious. You have to draw your line in the sand. Success without being compromised is possible but only if the proper steps are taken.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
Your grandpa sees a bad thing, and fights to stop it and wins. He tells his son "dont do this". His son knows the rules, but lost the why. He tells you "dont do this", and you ask why. He doesnt know, so you dont care. You dont tell your son not to do the thing. Then the thing happens all over again.
We have to build permanent memory into everything we do. WHY is the most important question to all things.
