It may be feudalism but it's also slavery - indentured servitude.
Excellent list of civil disobedience options. I'm thinking of taking to wearing a black armband for the duration.
What I want to know is Where's Hollywood? Am I missing their contribution to fighting Dictator Trump? At the least, they are a wealthy enough group to be publicly funding such efforts as creating a fund for immigrants to access legal help or providing legal help for those arrested for civil disobedience. Where are the lawyers come to think of it?
The goons are coming for all of us, just one class of people at a time. Citizen? So what? If you are brown, maybe Greek or Turkish or Indian, have a latin sounding last name, again, so what? Brown is brown, you’re outta here. Shades don’t matter either. Fascists only want to name an enemy, makes no difference which people they choose to point their ‘hatred’ at. Who’s next? You? Me? That is also irrelevant. What matters to them is that made up hatred and the name they’ve attached to it. There will always be some scapegoat for their actions. It’s never their fault, they always gave a good reason for their cruelty.
Slavery then.....Dressed up rebranded and sold to the MAGA Masses....This Race War is about to explode...Best get ready, it's gonna be very messy and bloody.....
That has disturbed you. I did not intend that. In a perverse way I was complimenting it. You set out the actions taken and also the excuses used . Then the next lot arrive, screaming about freedom and democracy, abolish 40 percent of those habits and use the rest. I’m in South Africa. And if draws on that and obviously was very badly put or I misunderstood.
First of all, people need to know that this regime and these goons will not treat civil disobedience as a misdemeanor. Be prepared to be imprisoned and possibly deported. Secondly, I think the next battle line will be the media. Already happening, but I mean big time. If we can’t communicate the truth to each other and anyone still listening, then we’ll all be groping in a dark vacuum, and it will be so much harder to organize and resist. Print and TV are already mostly co-opted. We must find ways to keep the internet open!
I have been watching and looking for a group to do join and do this for a while now. Maybe it’s because I am a senior, but I keep thinking of blacks who were willing to be arrested, as well as spit on, kicked, water-hosed, etc. during the 60s civil rights protests. People sat down and refused to get up protesting against the Vietnam war. We are waving signs every other Saturday when it’s convenient. We are WIMPS.
So I'm assuming #19 has something to do with rights in a particular Constitutional amendment, then. Or not, what do I know? I mean, there's that "being necessary to the security of a free state" part right in there. Of course, I'm not suggesting anything like that happen at all. Nice list, BTW.
I read it again. I know what you were saying . But I translated it as I read probably stupidly as what the actions are seen as and how they are treated . I actually thought it was really good. It laid out as I saw it (from South Africa) exactly how action taken was responded to. I added that when the bad lot go eventually, the new lot remove some of those responses but keep enough to quell any problems.

This is a handbook for dictators. It does one other thing. It lays in place a nice road map for the "democracy" coming in . They use much of it.
How is this article a handbook for dictators? What are you talking about?

I replied. God knows where .
I'd like to know what #19 is/was!
You’re far from the only one

Provocative.
Bold and extremely uncomfortable. I want to be able to muster the courage when it's needed. The seed has been planted
