But please, tell me more about what you're doing? Taken down any pedophiles in your government? Stopped the laws in your state? Martyr'd yourself?
could one not turn this around back on you again?
we ought to stop jerking ourselves off about glowies and feds eventually and start doing something, personally i'm getting tired of being ruled by demons.
pushing me to make a move while they sit comfortably behind their screen.
Is this a serious complaint? The topic was problems in Australia. None of us are gonna buy a planeticket and fight for you.
Keep in mind that it is illegal pretty much everywhere to say you plan to resist authority or commit violence. I'm in america, I can encourage citizens of any other country to murder politicians - but as soon as it's american soil, I gotta clam up.
You might say "Oh, so you're all talk, then". Sure. Let's stick with that. Because if I don't deny it, I'm the naughty boy that needs an interview. But this is literally talk, anyway. I can say whatever I want and act completely differently. Likewise, I'd encourage you to absolutely deny or downplay your interest in fighting for your rights in your homeland...but absolutely fight for your rights in your homeland.
It also simply does not matter if you can't find anyone else in the whole world willing to fight for what's right. If you can't be bothered to be the first, you didn't deserve the liberties you thought you had. If you think you can't accomplish anything of value alone, then I don't even know where to start with you.
If you can't even get allies to stand behind you, how do you expect strangers to stand behind it?
I don't. Lacking allies puts a person in a bad position, but it doesn't turn them into a powerless worm. Without allies, you basically must embrace terrorism. You act alone knowing you'll die alone and possibly get used as an example of what happens to dissidents.
I should specify that the "terrorism" where you take a paintball gun to the movie theater and bruise a crowd is useless. Making Bob down the street scared does nothing; making your governor scared might do something. "The people responsible have names and addresses", etc, I'm sure you've heard it before.
If this sounds unappealing, I understand. It's far more attractive to protect what you care about than be struggling to harass your enemies guerilla-style. If you can form a team, you might even protect a whole town. By yourself, you'll have a hard time just protecting your own family. I'd wager that changes the equation for a lot of men - having to weigh not only their principles but the safety of their children.
I hope you do manage to find allies.
I'm also assuming peaceful correction is not an option. I know how asinine it sounds to hear someone suggest voting or whatever, but I consider it part of the process. If a government refuses to permit peaceful change, they don't simply gain total control, they invite immediate violence from the citizenry.
