When the new lockdown comes, many people will resist – as people are doing all over the world. The more kinetic their response, the better – from the Deep State’s point of view. Sometime soon, the F.B.I. will commit an enormous crime, which will be blamed on the “violent” anti-lockdown protestors.
Is the goal a national vaccine passport? Confiscation of firearms? They’ll take all the territory they can grab, under the cover of keeping the peace.
Accordingly, if you’re going to protest, you have to do it in the most inert, most abstract, most prostrate way possible: If anything you do looks like violence, you’ve already lost.
You don’t need a Gandhi, you need to be Gandhi: Just go limp. They can’t charge you for doing nothing, and I should think that simply turning off your phone – you and a few million friends – would be enough to give the Ruling Class the shits.
But if the resistance to the lockdown is not just peaceful but positively inert, the F.B.I. and its Antifa stooges will stand out even more than they did at the Capital riot.
Don’t let them blame their crimes on you.

This reminds me of the song “Alice’s Restaurant”:
“And can you imagine fifty people a day? I said FIFTY people a day… Walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of “Alice’s Restaurant” and walkin’ out? Friends, They may think it’s a Movement, and that’s what it is THE Alices’s Restaurant anti-massacre movement”
I like the idea of shutting of the phones for a day. If 10MM people did that, the Ruling Class would be apoplectic

In the Green Revolution in Iran, failed alas, they just sat out on the curbstones: Our presence is our protest. ‘Lying flat’ in China is a similar refusal to accept the deal on the table. The Ruling Class that would be an oligarchy is having a legitimacy crisis. Welcome to Guerrilla InfoWar.
