So… should we protest old school? How do we drag younger gens in? Make a spectacle? Frog suits passe?

Organize. As a comrade told me. The best time to organize is before the crisis. The next best time is right now.

It wouldn’t take more than FIVE people to push off an ICE agent.

In reading “The Art of War”, an ancient Chinese General’s observations and philosophy, a military treatise which might also be titled, “The Art of Negotiation”, I draw this thought…

We are at a fatigued place whereby I notice that we have asked for outside help.

It was observed by Sun Tzu, that when an egregious burden is placed on a village (town,etc), by the current aggressor, that those people who are heavily burdened, become ready to be “taken over” by another force promising relief.

This is called, “Taking Whole.”

I recommend reading - studying this small book to understand strategy, wisdom, what to do when there is much instability, confusion, aggression. When to hold back, retreat, look for higher ground, and when to find the best time for negotiating.

2nd amendment has also the idea of forming “militias” to defend & protect. Maybe with guns - or not.
