    No to self defence. You learning self defence will only provoke a stronger response from the guys who will go up to and beyond killing you, and may call in actual military support if required.

    Civil disobedience feels like a better approach. Forming human walls, information networks and rapid support responses slow and mitigate attacks on your community.

    Applying pressure to your representatives also can help.

      We really should stop showing up. Stop showing up to work. Stop showing up to buy things. Stop showing up to sign up for the military. Stop reproducing. Quiet quitting en masse.

        Many of us generally prefer to sleep inside and have food to eat. A general strike will likely never happen in the US. Being prepared as best as possible for violence is more necessary every day and making friends with like minded folks is one of the best ways to do that. They are bringing the violence to us. We cannot just lie down and take it. Arm up, train and help others do the same.
