“The Constitution is clear,” Miller told reporters outside the White House. “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So, to say that’s an option we’re actively looking at … a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.”
i don’t think most people have the energy to plot a rambo standoff with paramilitaries, who don’t generally announce what they’re doing in advance.
i’m not shittalking resistance, i promise, but we cannot expect people to spontaneously develop a consciousness and militancy, even in extreme conditions. that’s what organizing is for
then don’t def3nd against the en3my, 0ffend against the en3my. be proactive
make yourself un-an0unc3d!
Ok go ahead
I agree with your assessment, I just wasn’t sure. I’ve just seen a lot of people (to be fair, mostly liberals) doing that thing where they immediately take any talk of last-minute resistance as useless, a foregone waste of time, a larp, ect, and i dont think that kind of talk helps anyone. Not that I think you’re engaging in it, I’ve just felt the need lately to push a little in the other direction in those exchanges and remind people, without slipping into rambo fantasies, what’s historically possible with a little resources and dedication. But you’re right, those examples are aspirational and cannot be expected from most disorganized individuals.
i support this. i just treat hexbear like a place where everyone is a jaded activist already so i’m less concerned with the public-facing shit.
some hexbeariens are new though, so your approach is still instructive and valuable
