This is kind of it. I know there are protests and movements and all that, but folks on here say it's not enough, and that may be true, but as you jest, one guy isn't getting anywhere by himself. And to take it a step further, putting together some kind of group will draw the attention of Alphabet Agencies faster than anyone can do anything.
We've got 20-plus years of spying on American citizens, and that's on the books, excluding what they did before they legalized it.
and just to be clear, i am not advocating capitulation to tyranny. i am saying to get armed, and to start resistance groups especially when the alphabet agencies start tracking. armed protests are more effective then ‘non violent’ ones. the no kings protest was the largest protest in america and was used to frame trumps parade, it was used to generate drama for the clicks and did nothing else. it was so toothless that the police didn’t even feel the need to intervene.
