    Outright revolt will not work right now. There needs to be a much greater groundswell of support for that first. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

    It’s going to be a loooong time before a proper revolution happens, even if that’s not out of the question. In the meantime, as many people as possible should [email protected], in as many small ways as possible.

    There’s plenty of preparing and learning that can be done in the meantime. I always recommend pepper spray for everyone. Always have your camera at the ready. Build relationships with like-minded people near and far. Get in a mindset of paying close attention to the world around you, seeking creative opportunities, and figuring out your own risk threshold.

    A lot of people are scared right now, for good reason. Seek to support the vulnerable, and to give pause to those who threaten them.

      Thoughts and prayers with no actual advice or directions. The marathon is over, and we lost. But yeah, but pepper spray, because that works against guns.

        Not revolting before you are sure you have the proper support to succed IS the actual advice. They are just waiting for something like this to happen as a pretense to suspend existing law and take total control. So you have exactly one chance. Use it wisely.
