This is by far the most important thread I've ever made. So if there is any thread of mine to read, it is this one.

I've seen people convinced that conflict against the government is impossible. I'm here to prove you wrong.

The fact of the matter is that the government depends on the people and not the other way around. The government depends on people's labor, it depends on people willing to be governed. This is a huge advantage and also why peaceful resistance works when executed properly. Because anyone they kill is a loss to them. You're their capital, you're the reason they can exist at all.

Because at the end of the day, government requires your consent. Because they can arrest you or even kill you, but they can never force you to work for them. A government without subjects is just a bunch of shouting old men and some parchment.

Additionally, by necessity there will always be far more people than the government. Human capital is the most valuable capital as it turns out and if you get most people on your side it is almost a sure victory. While the government may have things like drones, planes, tanks, etc... it doesn't change that infantry defines warfare. Vietnam beat the US military in spite of vastly inferior technology. Insurgents in the middle east are STILL kicking in spite of being woefully underequipped. We have even more advantages than that, being a country that is armed to the teeth.

I am not saying we should go to war with the government, but there may come a day when it becomes necessary. We can do it.
