"may lead people to fight in self defense." - That's what they're (the administration and police forces) hoping for: "proof" that substantiates the action they are undertaking, which they can then turn around and escalate even more.
I'd like to see the government that failed in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq try to take out a real insurgency on the home front. Every garbage bag an IED, every car a bomb.
I mean, it's win-win for the assholes.
People don't fight back: they get deported. Win for nazis
People fight back: Nazis use it as justification for further escalation
At least defending yourself / the victims has a chance of saving them. Doing nothing won't
"The takeover will be bloodless if the left allows it to be." I fear that escalation is going to be the only course of action to stop their criminal activity. You certainly can't rely on the justice system any more.
I wholeheartedly agree about fighting back. As someone who was bullied when younger, I fought back and hard. It didn't stop the bullying, but it certainly got some of the bullies to think twice, so that I wasn't fighting all the bullies at once.
And therein lies another problem; you fight one authoritarian government and maybe succeed in removing it, but then you're fighting other foreign ones waiting on the sidelines, just ready to swoop in. It's not looking good for any of the good guys at this point...
If you treat people like desperate animals, they will behave like desperate animals.
We are but a gnat's ass away from extermination of anyone deemed undesirable. Absolutely disgusting.
I know this will not come as any form of consolation, but those (who conceive of themselves as the elites) who try to do away with so-called "undersirables", the line doesn't stop, they are always trying to cull. At some point, the sycophants get on the chopping block too. The question becomes where is the line drawn that everyone (in and out of the direct line of fire) collectively rises up and pushes back to drive the oppressors into oblivion. Right now it seems the majority of the citizenry are in shock as to the continual actions and revelations coming about, and hence very cautious about stepping forward hard. The tipping point could be something seemingly innocuous, or the culmination of enough is enough. Time and disaster will only tell.
A thought to ponder: which comes first - civil war or bilateral war with China? Seems like the administration is angling to as early as 2027 for outright warfare, so civil war would be a liability. All these people being deported and/or sent to prisons, might be a prelude to that escalation. Imagine the only salvation you have to leave prison or to make steps towards some form of citizenship is by participating in military service for that very conflict.
