I have decided to once again come out of my hiatus to comment of the atrocious actions taken by I.C.E. in Minnesota , and this being against U.S. citizens no less .

The only remaining question is how to best proceed . I have come to support the non-violent tactics of resistance , set forth by the late , renowned , Gene Sharp , which I shall post at the bottom of this post . However , as Pres. John F. Kennedy , and Kwame Ture , have so bluntly put it ....
Now , if we the people are to conclude that , with a psychopathic , malignant narcissist , like Trump in office , non-violence would be futile , then we shall be in for a long bloody revolutionary civil war . And the insurgents will undoubtedly be deemed to be domestic terrorists , and be treated accordingly . Why , even peaceable activists are being referred to as such , by this administration. So , I feel that we mustn't be too hasty in taking action against the federal government . The situation calls for prudent preparation . But whatever course is taken , people will wind up being killed , on both sides . And another thing is that the government forces would be having superior military technology. This won't be like the U.S. Civil War , or even the Spanish Civil War , but rather "Star Wars" . So I think that , funny enough , like with Iran , the United States might require a foreign intervention to finally deliver the nation from totalitarian theocratic domination .

In closing , I as an individual person am not to be burdened with the choice as to what to do going forward .
Both organizations , and nations , shall be tasked with the non-enviable decision of how to act in the face of such threats of aggression , and continued oppression . All that I will conclude by saying is that , if there is such a thing as a right of revolution , then the time is now . And if not , then it still cannot rightly be considered treason , as the United States itself is the product of a revolution . So how can anyone be a traitor in relation to a regime that itself has been a traitor to the British Crown ? And so , even as the red coats were opposed , so must the goons of the federal government be resisted , by any and all means necessary and proper . Peaceably if possible , and forcibly whenever appropriate . This is my stance as it pertains to revolutionary defensivism , without initiation , or even retaliation of force . Merely standing our ground in self defense , as the need arises . For it is the Trump administration that has initiated this conflict by setting out to menace those of us on the radical left . And not for our actions , but rather simply due to our opinions . Those such as myself have been guilty thus far of committing nothing more than a thought crime . My resistance has so far taken the form of dissidence , rather than of violence . How events proceed going forward depends upon the approach taken by the powers that be . And we the people shall then respond accordingly . With the nation being on the brink of a revolution , these are my thoughts , as protected under the precedent setting case of Brandenburg v. Ohio .
