| Non-violent non-compliance... |
|
Perhaps it is time to go the full Gandhi...
Non-violent non-compliance with the law is a method of protesting governments. It isn't easy. Gandhi managed it, but he was Ghandi, and I don't see any leadership like his today. But individuals can choose to simply not comply in a non-violent way with laws that they feel are unjust.
Stop paying taxes, stop using the banks, stop using credit cards...
Think about it.

| 3. Non-compliance with nothing off the table. Never announce your limits |
|
The point here is unlike India or the Civil Rights movement there is no audience to gain sympathy from, no opinion to turn, and no hearts and minds to win like Gandhi and King had to work with.
Tactics are not universal, you have to be cognitive of the situations you are applying them to.
This enemy has no population to turn against it, not of significance, not enough to offset the greed and hunger for dominating power.
