Are you friends with anyone who works on military projects, in the “defense” industry, is in the military or has served in the military in the past (same question for police)?
Do you attend events that include “thanking the troops”? Do you allow your kids to go on field trips that involve the military or cops? Do you go to war museums? Participate in or support Cadet programs?
Have you filed an objection to selective service (if you fall into the demographic that it applies to? Are you rude to recruiters? Do you protest recruitment offices if they open in your community?
If yes, then congrats on your gold star for the bare minimum. If not then maybe you and the other the 350 million Americans can ask themselves why they put their social comfort over human rights .
(And yes I do these things in my own country)
Of course you don’t need to defend yourself to a stranger on the internet. My point with the questions is it’s not armed insurrection or nothing.
If you believe, deep in your heart, that you are doing all you can (which is all anyone can do!), why make defensive comments saying it’s too hard and people who think it’s possible just don’t understand? I’m not saying you need to publicly or privately support these specific tactics if you don’t agree with them. You just don’t need to do the empire’s propaganda for them, ya know?
