The authorities wouldn't send the National Guard if they thought they could just ignore you. So i'd say this is a success.

“Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,” Vice President JD Vance said in a post on X Saturday night.
Big yikes. "Insurrectionists"? Bloody hell.
Every accusation is an admission.
Conservatism was the original reactionary movement, and it essentially sought to restore the nobility within democracy, complete with the different rules applying to said ingroup. Modern conservatism only differing in the sense that its supporters really want to become part of said ingroup.
conservatism/liberterinism,dont realize the ingroups, are the oligarchs only.
Could this be the start of the Second American Civil War?
Calm down Tim Poole
I predicted over six months ago that the US wouldn't make it past July 4th, 2025. Only a few weeks away and reporters are being shot by police and posse comitatus has been violated. Soon the actual armed forces of your nation will be in the streets and you will have a choice to make.
Meh...this reminds me of the Portland riots a few years ago. Shit was crazy and really intense but the U.S. didn't fall apart if that is what you are alluding to. We just kept on picking up our shovels and shovelling shit.
Talk to me when the marines land in LA.
try buying gun and then likely second amendment
You don't have the right, O you don't have the right! (Actually you do)
Martial law incoming.
So glad I never joined the National Guard cause I would definitly refuse to go, and if forced, join the side of of the ones fighting ICE.
Holy fuck. Some finally have the balls to stand up and fight and a bunch of you are all...this is wrong. Escalation and violence is not ok...or...but they have so many big guns.
Your country is run by a fucking dictator. Your own people are being forcefully removed from their homes and families and put in concentration camps.
Unbelievable.
Well, we always knew #RATM were right, but no one expected yet another playbook decades after this album was released in 1999. It all feels that unreal... 😔
"I liked them before they got all political" -- Some Republican dumbass.
I can only assume they thought Bulls on Parade was about a family holiday to the beach.
The video for "Freedom" was the first time many in Gen X learned about AIM and Leonard Peltier.
RATM is half the reason for my political awareness and absolutely why I know about AIM (and that Val Kilmer movie but RATM is why I actually looked into it).

I hope this don't turn to a civil war
July 4th...
I just don’t see how a civil war could start. It’s not like back in the day where you could just amass an army without the state really knowing
The amount of intel the state has means that nothing will get off the ground
I guess if like a state and it’s national guard would revolt and other states join them? Seems very unlikely though
I mean the Nazis aren't going to go ohh my bad we should have another try at the election.
The options at this point are 1: a civil war or 2: surrendering to the fascist regime.
Well, we won't call it that. Vietnam was techincally "a police action", but we all know it was a war. This police action will get folks killed in an effort to take prisoners, which sure sound like a...
