    If your opponent threatens to fight you if you fight back, you would choose to surrender before the fight begins?

    Nah, but we should wait until we know a democratic method (voting) won’t work to remove the fascists. Once we cross that line, then we can resort to the actual fighting back.

    Because the best case scenario here is that they want us to actually fight back so they can impose martial law, but we don’t, then we win by voting them out without any widespread violence and they never got to play their martial law card.

    If it doesn’t work, and we realize they’ve corrupted the electoral process and stolen an election, then we grab our pitchforks (guns) and properly do what a bunch of inbred redneck traitors failed to do on Jan 6, because they’re stupid and of course they didn’t have any semblence of an actual plan.

      “We should wait until it is too late. That will be the perfect time to act. Just a little longer…”

      Okay, if you say so. Again, accidental or intentional PsyOp.

          I totally get that. It’s certainly why I’m not doing more.

          But “let’s not oppose them because they want opposition” is playing more into their hands than opposing them is. I get it’s a Lose-lose but let’s not go for the Lose because we don’t want to lose.

            yea im not arguing with that part. Im just at the point where I can’t do what I want, which is to prosecute and properly punish all these fuckers according to the laws of the country they stole.
