What will be the trigger for mass protests and a general strike? That is what we need to be thinking about. We the people are the rescuers. Not the courts or the Pols or the military. It has to be us. It might take a killing of innocents such as Kent State to trigger the masses. We have to be willing to take action and fight and get beat…
What will be the trigger for mass protests and a general strike? That is what we need to be thinking about. We the people are the rescuers. Not the courts or the Pols or the military. It has to be us. It might take a killing of innocents such as Kent State to trigger the masses. We have to be willing to take action and fight and get beaten and even killed if we want even a semblance of what are country used to be. We’ve already lost a lot and it is only going to get worse faster from here on out. We don’t need everyone. We can get a regime change with less than 5% of our population becoming activists.
The lesson they learned from last time was to destroy the remnants of the existing elite through direct punishment and demoralization. The goal is to destroy all existing institutions that can oppose executive power, which is to be concentrated entirely in the person of the dictator. This doesn’t inspire as much mass protest because it is centered on elites and institutions. That’s why we haven’t seen the same sort of mass protests. Also the opposition is defeated from having tried everything they could think of and all of it failing.

There are already mass protests. Go to one in your town or organize one. I'm sure they will only get bigger as options are cut off.
I’ve been protesting at least weekly. We haven’t reached mass yet.
Lol where do you get that 5 percent figure? 3.5 percent is what people usually bandy about btw
I said less than 5%. I know the study says 3.5%.
well good luck with all that anyway
Insurrection sounds like a great plan for you.
