When the nazis took over France the vast majority people who joined the resistance were children, teenagers, and some unemployed. Nearly everyone who had any assets or wealth flopped and followed their new laws, including turning in their neighbours and assisting the genocide.

This was written in the autobiography of the resistance leader, Jacques Lusseyran, who was a blind child who personally vetted everyone joining the resistance.

Surely now that the average American has access to limitless information and organizing capabilities and access to a well armed populace they won’t fall to the same fate…

Those signs insulting them do nothing, and thats what they want...these domestic terrorists need to be forcibly removed. Nothing else will stop them.

What do you think the average person could do, besides luigiesque activity, to help stop or slow them down? Like, little things they could do a few times per week. I’m open to possible misdemeanors, but I’d like to avoid felonies. Any thoughts?

Your comment does less.

Let me know when you're done forcibly removing them. Or are you armchairi g this and managing to doing even less than less?

The tech fascists essentially want to gut regulation so they can build corporate feudalism. Run experiments on biotech, genetic research, etc. Extend their own life spans. Build advanced military technology. And enslave the rest of us.

Essentially, they read Ayn Rand, saw some cyberpunk flicks, and chose to be the villains in the story.

They're an existential threat to our species. And likely a lot of other life on the planet.

So isn't this supposed to be the reason for having the 2nd Amendment? To stop this kinda shit?

Yes I'm being sarcastic.
