They want a violent response as justification for further escalation of force in pursuit of a "state of emergency".
This is a dangerous line to keep touting. They're already doing this, and they don't need an "excuse" to do it more. This line of thinking just keeps people from actually opposing their blatant takeover with real action.
Resist.
To the contrary, I'm of the opinion that it's inevitable, but I think timing is going to be pretty important. Jumping the gun before there is enough investment in the cause could be catastrophic.
If opposing violent fascism needs to be sold to the people around you then you've already lost
Then we've already lost. Convincing our neighbors and even our families that this is violent fascism at all is just getting us labeled as extremists or hysterical, or at the very least over- reactors. People are fully in denial here. It's hard when everyone on lemmy seems to think just because we can't get our neighbors to wake up, and we're not willing to get ourselves immediately killed via one man revolution that all Americans equally deserve this.
