You are being brainwashed to believe FREEDOM is SELFISHNESS

That sign is 100% correct.

Guess what?

This isn't enough Civil Disobedience yet. You're gonna need a lot more than that.

Why isn't the building open anyway with 1,000 people available to open it regardless of police presence or order?

Why isn't their a barbecue inside the government center?

I didn't want there to be a revolution, I just wanted to play video games, but we all need to realize that a revolution started in 2016 because the establishment took being told "No" very personally.

Oh, it's going to be horrific. I never wanted this. But if you want to see the continued existence of liberalism as a perspective on citizens' rights and the limitations of state authority, and recognize the slow death of your belief system as people beg for the comfort to last just a bit longer, then maybe you can understand why I can't wait for people to see the horrors of true violence. We've grown too opulent and we have lost sight of what we had.

They will make it uncivil.

I will grill smoked ribs in the rotunda.

I'll wear a stethoscope and write on a piece of paper that I've un-diagnosed everyone in the room with Cornona because I'm highly credentialed science doctor with all of the stamps that I pasted to the back of the paper. Thus, I'm the expert. That's actually my pronoun. Expert/Experts/Experts.

Power is illusory, and you can prove it. Force isn't, but then, why should you accept being treated with force.

That is mob rule. It is a bad idea regardless of the cause.

It's not mob rule. The government seized the property and shut it down. I'm not saying the mob should govern, I'm saying (as with all cases of civil disobedience), the governments legitimacy and authority is projection tolerated by the people themselves. The moment the people chose not to participate in the illusion, the state must be forced to re-asses how it asserts it's legitimacy.

Put this in the form of coutner-insurgency. The Americans in Iraq normally tried to avoid enforcing rules and regulations whereever possible on the Iraqis. The US military was not a law enforcement structure. When the Americans made silly proclamations, like the Coalitional Provitional Authority's new Iraqi Flag. The CPA's proclamations were simply rejected, mocked, and dismissed by the people. In order to maintain any authority over a fairly weak foot-hold in Iraq; coalition forces would never defy open & popular rejection of certain laws and policies. Attempting to enforce such wildly unpopular policies would both damage the legitimacy of American troops (what little there was), and inspire parallel governing bodies to govern without any influence.

This is true in every environment. When the state attempts to enforce it's will with security forces, security forces are left with only 2 bad options: overwhelming violence (which would delegitimize the security forces), or acquiescence (which would delegitimize the political forces if and only if they maintained a unwelcomed position. American forces routinely deferred to local governance in order to maintain their own authority, particularly when the Iraqi Government was either an illegitimate occupation government, or a legitimate but weak democratic one.

There is a very significant difference between a mob asserting authority over others; and the population, even a mob, rejecting the authority of the state. Rejecting authority isn't violent, or even coercive. Asserting authority commonly is.

Telling someone 'no' is only violent to an authoritarian, that's why they escalate uses of force to gain compliance.

The state, even it's security forces, must be repeatedly told 'no' until they are back in compliance with the social contract and the general will of the population. If they do, they will actually regain their legitimacy and authority. If they refuse, it will only cause them to be further de-legitimized.

As an occupier, I have issued this Notice of Trespass

An unelected individual with no oversight now has the ability to "occupy" your property, and keep anyone you would welcome off, with armed force.

You won't own anything, and you'll be happy.

Don't worry, like their civil rights laws they'll come off the books as soon as they become inconvenient.

Not only will unprecedented situation be argued in court but needs 2b. Uncharted water stemming from #covid19 #pandemic - hopefully city/province hang on to all correspondence so Canadians can understand decision process and players before judges rule if this was constitutional

Adam Skelly’s bail hearing still hasn’t come up. Court still waiting for more information. His lawyer is reminding court that that they’re coming up on 24 hours since his arrest and his matter still hasn’t been addressed.

It's war. Plaid shirts versus brown shirts.

They will make him sweat for awhile in jail and will release him without charge at the very last minute. I hope he sues the shit out everybody.

Running a BBQ store will get you punished, but burning one down will get you branded as a 'peaceful protester'.

Ladies and gets, this is called anarcho-tyranny.
