If there are never any arrests made for the egregious violations of the law it could get really nasty

Without ... 'consequences' // 'repercussions' // 'accountability' this only continues, as well documented of past transgressions. A certain class and/or political party that is cornered and targeted, where laws are not applied evenly, that's when 'really nasty' actions occur.

We lack the organization necessary to effect a meaningful resistance.

Every channel of communication is monitored by scripts.....

We have the organization. It's called Congress. They better Goddamn well start to do their jobs.

Don't want to rain on your parade, Bruce. They do not care about you or any of their constituents. A single contribution from a lobbyist more than makes up for thousands of pissed-off constituents.

Let's hope that our elections are still free enough to be able to send these rats packing. And elect honest representatives who will vote for term and lobbying limits.

Each party determines who we can pick from on the ballot, unless one slips by them. I found out this year in Missouri that the GOP party heads actually vet all GOP candidates for any office. Much mud slinging this primary.

There is the collective psyche......

Collective will represents true power because it transcends spacetime.

That's the issue, IMO, too. Since we can't get organized where we can help people who need it when they need it, and can't know who's refusing compliance when they're refusing compliance, we'll never be able to act strategically. Non-compliance works when there's large enough numbers acting simultaneously. That's why organization is needed, IMO. And short of mass, simultaneous non-compliance, the only hopes are WAY more people waking up or divine intervention.

Burning a newly equipped to handle such evil events Mpls Police HQ shredded and torched.

Duty sworn Policemen sentenced to prison. But it won't ever happen again....Right?

Destroying the shopping places other families once relied on is such a smart way to get things changed. It provides jobs for front end loaders and dump trucks.

Have never understood the reasoning behind importing into Minnesota a passel of folks from equatorial africa. One thing to burn down did some thatch huts in a fit of pique where the temp rarely goes below 80 and all together another thing where it hits minus 20. Big culture clash there.
