Resist. I would detail in-depth how one organises a resistance movement, but Substack with their particularly restrictive Terms of Service (they only like you if you 'play nice') and many other so-called 'free speech' social media platforms like Gab and more don't have the balls to host such a frank discussion.
Organising such a resistance movement is a mammoth task, and should not fall the auspices of one person, however, in the words of Bane to Batman: "peace has cost you your strength, victory has defeated you"; the public have become so accustomed to *not* fighting for their rights that they don't know how to wage that war effectively when they realise they do want to fight; and I am slowly starting to recognise I am perhaps the only person who bothered to take field notes.
It isn't so simple as me writing a word document and disseminating it either; it has to be thoroughly detailed, anticipate thousands of years worth of complex military strategy, distil it down into a way a layman would want to follow it, and avoid blindspots and mistakes personal to me.
I am not a military strategist, I have not fought in a single conventional military war, but I recognise my vast array of knowledge on such topics as resistance movements and historical wars makes me the most qualified person in the room, but only in the same sense that a man who has watched every quiz show is more of a quizzer than people who haven't studied a single quiz; we're in dire need of someone who is a specialist in military tactics and resistance.
My grave fear is: if I step up to the plate, I could be the George Washington of the Delaware river. I could write advice that leads to horrible defeat. But no-one else is stepping up to the plate, time is short and we lack people with any sort of qualified experience in that field.
I did try to cause a 'meeting of the minds'; my Benjamin Franklin seeking out someone else's Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams and so on. However, intellectuals are deeply uncomfortable with the idea of resistance; and those who are interested in resistance wish not to discuss, and those willing to discuss have very fixed notions of what a realistic resistance entails.
Right now I feel like a Benjamin Franklin who is considering acting in the capacity of a George Washington due to a large amount of vacancies in the positions of Independence, and frankly my lack of military experience fills me with fear I will simply mislead innocents to defeat, and yet I am even more acutely aware the public have even less idea than I do on resistance movements.
Every time I try to write on the matter I feel an oppressive burden upon my person preventing me from writing, as if I cannot lift this solely alone. Do nothing and the public fall into disarray; act and I mislead them to defeat.
"What are we going to do about it?"
