    I think its time for citizens to start pushing back against this gestapo bullshit. We outnumber these pussies like 100 to 1

      We outnumber them hella more than that. The question is, have you been organizing in your community?

          Cool People who did Cool Stuff can remind you. One small example, teenage girls were going around murking nazis on the regular. They found others to help. Unrelated to the US, but a cool story of community resistance.

          Literally everything that is spy work, subterfuge, being an opposing army, etc is community organizing of some kind. You have to find the community within that wants to take the risks to do these things.

          So, to answer your question, 100% community organizing stopped the Nazis.

          Considering the USSR by and large killed more Nazis than anybody, I’d say a shitload of community organizing stopped them.

          Show up alone, you get arrested. Show up with 100 people, you get shot. Show up with 100,000 people, now we have a movement. Will your neighbors show up with you? Or will you face the Nazis alone?

      I’m all ears. Where do we start? Who’s organizing a nationwide operation? What time and place? What’s the plan?

      Are we prepared to be beaten, imprisoned and killed?

      Should I attempt to be a one-man operation?

      Will there be snacks and drinks?

      Who’s in on this, anyone? We need at least about 5-10 million of us to stand a chance. Are we going to occupy Washington and be prepared to deal with armed struggle? It would be “fun” to Zerg the White House and burn it to the ground. A lot of us will probably get mowed down in the process.

        I’ve always made a point to bring orange sections, soccer practice style, to protests myself

        Read Che’s Guerrilla War. You don’t need that many to start.

      2003 was time for citizens to start pushing back against gestapo bullshit. You’ve been allowing them to increase their advantage for a couple decades now.
