I get it, it's internet hyperbole. But dude, if that happens please fight back. Protests, voting, or god forbid gunfire if need be. But don't just give up and die, that's what they want.
For the entire time I have lived on this planet, I've been pretty confident that my daily activities would generally be considered legal, and that the Federal Government had literally zero reason to be interested in me or anything I did.
Now, though, I am aware that the government can disappear me and rendition me to a death camp, without trial and even without habeas corpus.
As far as I can tell, if I'm being arrested I no longer have anything to lose. I am aware of that, and should it come to that, I understand why people are saying to act accordingly.
That is as far as I am going to say in this conversation.
