    One thing to remember is that, unlike European countries and other smaller countries with basically one major city, the US is gigantic, both in land size and in number of huge cities.

    When France’s government is tyrannical, everyone can gather in Paris and fight the police. After all, it’s just a few hours drive. I live in Idaho, to drive to DC would take 4 days of 12+hours driving each day, and getting the people to rise up in every major city is a near impossibility. There simply aren’t enough people who are willing to fight back in the same manner.

    Also, you fight back in England or France you might get tear gassed or arrested. In the US they will murder you, as they have done to even peaceful protestors.

      How long do you estimate it would take to demolish each deathcamp?🤔

      Your state has three deathcamps. What’s with that?

      Your city of Boise has 73 Flock Cameras too.

      Why not start something local first?

      In the US they will murder you, as they have done to even peaceful protestors.

      This happen in Nepal and Myanmar too, but they revolted.

        There is no way you think Nepal and Myanmar can compare to the US… The only similarity is death at the hands of our government.

        And what good does destroying a flock camera do? They will arrest you using the footage and put a new one up tomorrow. There is no way you would destroy a government camp without getting killed, they would just rebuild.

        The point is, our movement doesn’t have enough people yet for any of those measures. And if you start getting violent the number shrinks significantly.

            It’s called reality. Look, I don’t know anything about you, but when I was 19 I thought we could just destroy all the evil in the world too. But 20 years later I have come to the realization that the world isn’t that simple. Sometimes we have to bear it and focus on the little things we can change until we win over enough people to change the world.

              I am glad you could realize 39 additional years later how evil your nation is, and that you won’t do something as simple as taking Nazi cameras down in Boise.

              we can change until we win over enough people

              You called this

              reality

              Which means do not believe this at all. Either you believe Trump didn’t win over 33% of the Nazi vote over, or you really don’t know how evil are your neighbors complying for the Nazi state.

                I understand all of that. I understand the GOP cheats by restricting voting, I understand the Nazis where I live are evil. My point is that your strategy of “blow everything up and kill everyone til they can’t be evil anymore” requires a worldview that is not yet fully developed. We need to keep winning people to our side.

                Remember the quote from V for Vendetta “The building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. Alone, a symbol is meaningless, but with enough people, blowing up a building can change the world.”
