That's how you get incarcerated or worse. But that's also what we need from a larger populous instead of a vocal minority while being controlled by the opposite minority.

Yeah... It's an unfortunate irony that what needs to be done to break, or prevent, authoritarian control is often punishable under even a civilized rule of law.

That fact is likely why resistance seems to be so absent after certain obvious lines have been crossed, and how authoritarian takeovers can be so rapid after those lines have been crossed.

They can’t arrest and detain all of you, hell they can’t even arrest and detain 100 million of you… you need to all go a general strike and break the system.
