    And just like that, the boundary testing from the American extremists started their next chapter. Let’s see how this labrat does. If he gets away they’ll burn others offices, if those succeed, they’ll start with private residences. Inch by inch, they will become more aggressive. If someone gets caught, they pull back a bit… But it doesn’t stop until they have something larger to point their extremism in the direction of.

      Self/community defense is the only solution, unfortunately we live in a state* so this is mostly illegal.

      Not state like Iowa, state as in a group of people saying “I feel entitled to your life, resources, and freedom and can call you a criminal and kill or incarcerate you and any self/community defense is criminal too”.

        And any sort of well regulated militia you try to keep would get raided by a veritable Alphabet Soup of agents. So community defense is even less likely.

          Yep, this is part of what I mean by state and why unity is key to any real social advancement (not faux advancement like iphones).
