    The problem is back when we used to sack the castle if the king let us down there were only guards with hand weapons, maybe some cross bows in the way. You could overwhelm them with numbers pretty easily.

    And the castle was just up on the hill you all lived around.

    Now with the weaponry that is available (especially to the us govenment) the ability to defend against untrained and under armed civilians massive. And the castle may well be across the country. And that slimy fuck will be over in Argentina with a $40 billion tab courtesy of the US people.

    I’m really worried that trump will face zero consequences for his actions. It’s not like he ever really has before.

      So overwhelm the grocery stores. Not the local ones, the ones we all know contribute to this. Not violently, just go in masked and grab a cart and walk out. They can’t arrest all of us. Once the handlers are affected they’ll call off their dogs. But that requires mass organizing on a local level.

        Hard to organize with all our communications and movements being monitored and fed into AI threat models. Not impossible, but anyone attempting it needs to adjust their opsec to the new situation, and that’s not easy. With only two taxi companies (that don’t accept cash) and Flock cameras everywhere, it’s not even enough to ditch smart phones and organize only in person.

      The biggest weapon against governments is prolonged mass strikes… no work,no taxes, no taxes no government.

        Would work if people had savings and could use cash to shop.

        In many countries they have none of this anymore. You are trouble to the government and they shut off your credit card.
