Poll question: The U.S. was attacked and occupied by PowerNation X, who would you join?
Imagine if you will, we were attacked and occupied by PowerNation X. PowerNation X is the most powerful nation in the world, and they attacked and occupied our country for shallow, if not implausible reasons. Who would you join?

1. I would definitely murder my fellow civilians
Neighbor's children would be one of my first targets because it is good publicity and would make citizens less likely to cooporate with any plans by the occupiers. I would also kidnap and behead foreign bystanders because it is good international publicity. (sarcasm for anyone who misses it)

2. Hey, this is no hypothetical question. The occupation has happened.
I was in DC last November, after the Election. I felt like I was just where I was: in the occupied capital city of my own nation. Those government buildings, those monuments, those museums -- they weren't mine anymore. They were now possessed by an alien power that was debasing them all. That the invasion was domestic only made it that much worse.

4. Wow... great minds think alike!
I agree, and was posting nearly the same thing at nearly the same moment.

3. This has already happened...
First salvo was 2000, second 2004. Occupation is now complete.

I feel I have already joined an insurgent underground.

5. I wouldn't last long without medicine
So I'd probably be dead shortly after any kind of serious disruption anyway.
