I have spent hours looking through the files and some of the stories are absolutely disgusting. I am having such a hard time because so many citizens don’t even know how awful they get and they aren’t all even fully released… I am close to feeling like we need pitchforks, torches and shovels if this justice system won’t actually do anything… He had a ranch where a witness wrote in saying there are TWO bodies located on the property and they haven’t even reported that in the media. I’ll link that one below too. It’s just so… Horrible. We can’t just pretend this doesn’t exist… but idk what happens next for the United States and the world. It’s not something a country just moves on from.

    As an observation, I spent a while in France and I noticed something different about them. They don’t put up with shit from their government. If a law is passed that many disagree with, they just don’t comply. They refused to accept, for example, vehicle clamping. The government passed it anyway, so they started handling out kits to help people unlock them. People distributed them freely and would actively free any car they saw clamped. They tried to stop them smoking outside cafes. Zero compliance. Maybe it’s a hangover from The Revolution, but I found this attitude heartening.

      Easier to disobey when you live in a democracy where your government wont drag you off the street into a concentration camp.

        That’s just all the more reason to disobey. You can’t live your life in fear. Doing the right thing sometimes requires risk.

          No. It requires being smart. Sacrificing yourself for nothing. Is the opposite of that.
