Liberals: "Don't do anything that's illegal, it will hurt the message."

Um, what? Coloring within the lines is what got us into this FUBAR situation in the first place.

You don't ask for permission from the aggressor to remove its boot from your neck that's strangling the life out of you; you throw it off as violently as you find to be necessary.

Illegality =/= immorality

Sometimes the illegal choice *is* the moral one. More often than not.

What musicians did after an executive order on DEI led to the cancellation of U.S. Marine Band collaboration

"...I just felt like, well, there's usually two responses to something. You can complain about it, or you could do something about it. I chose the latter within seconds. And it was the easiest decision ever.....

With the active-duty Marines ordered to stand down, Equity Arc reached out to retirees who answered the call from everywhere, former band members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Westpoint, the Naval Academy and the Marines....The original Marine Band concert would have been seen by hundreds. Here, tonight, these musicians are being heard by millions...."

These stories about random people in the US that get arrested for flimsy reasons are deliberate. You don't want this to happen to you and so you will start to act more careful, you align your actions to what is “expected” by the authorities and not just rely on being allowed to do anything that is legal.

Installing this feeling is on purpose – and this works even if you don't belong to the groups of people currently targeted.

Report: "Federal agents raid Columbia dorm rooms as university expels students"

"The university has suspended or expelled multiple students this week...

"while the Justice Department says it’s now examining if the protests have violated US terrorism laws."
