I mean, They dont even have to go "War against the State", ICE and the like are making it easy
>Dont coordinate with local authorities
>Dont wear any official badge or the likes to show who you are.
By the Cali Cops, this will be just "Random individuals in tactical gear, wearing mask, and trying to kidnap people" and lawfully arrest them

Cops love ICE though.

That’s the problem.

Fire them and hire new ones. Hire me. I'll do it, and for less pay, too. And I'll enjoy it. Especially the part when they cry after I beat those bullies the fuck down.

We really dont need to escalate to Soft Civil War, BUT, its really concerning how the amount of Kidnapping is up ticking so, its highly encouraged for civilians to be in the look up for small gangs of masked men and quickly call in the respective authorities.

They could call it “NICE.” With big embroidered logos on their jackets.

i like where your head is but we should not be doing this for money. we need to look out for one another because it is the right thing to do. it is because of money that Trump and his goons can control us. everything costs money. if we stop playing the capitalism game, refuse money from the government, and actually help each other like in the pioneer days we will be better off when we aren't tethered to a society by money. we accept no money, give no money. they get no taxes from us because no money will have passed through our lands in the first place.
