"The Waco siege was the siege of a compound belonging to the Branch Davidians, carried out by American federal and Texas state law enforcement, as well as the U.S. military, between February 28 and April 19, 1993. The Branch Davidians were led by David Koresh and were headquartered at Mount Carmel Center ranch in the community of Axtell, Texas, 13 miles (21 kilometers) east-northeast of Waco. Suspecting the group of stockpiling illegal weapons, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) obtained a search warrant for the compound and arrest warrants for Koresh and a select few of the group's members.
The incident began when the ATF attempted to raid the ranch. An intense gun battle erupted, resulting in the deaths of four government agents and six Branch Davidians. Upon the ATF's failure to raid the compound, a siege lasting 51 days was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Eventually, the FBI launched an assault and initiated a tear gas attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out of the ranch. During the attack, a fire caused by Federal agents engulfed Mount Carmel Center. In total, 86 people, 82 of which were innocent died, including David Koresh. "
Daily reminder that you're living in a nightmarish police state.

I find it so odd that in a hugely white-majority, massively-gun owning, militia-having nation of the free, there can be a siege of such an extent for such a long time without any seeming intervention. The internet already existed, didn't it?

Not for anyone in the general population.
I was living in Tx at the time the news and all media were cheering on the feds. Everyone was against the waco niggers.
BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ALTERNATE NEWS SOURCES AT THE TIME

The real blackpill is in knowing many people are aware of the dire circumstances of our nation but will not lift a finger to fix it.
Not here, not on halfchan, not in a militia group, not anywhere. The propaganda is too thick. Controlling the source of propaganda itself is the ONLY way. ONLY if you can propagandize the masses can you control them, and in doing so fight against the opposition.
We are completely powerless, and demoralized.

Why do anything when all that matters are likes, shares and retweets?
