I do not support violence of any kind except for self defense.
Everybody is so concerned about "political violence" which is still incredibly rare in the United States.
What isn't rare is the violence perpetrated by the agents of the state against innocent people every single day in this country for our entire lifetimes.
Police officers, DEA, ICE, IRS, ATF, FBI, these are the violent ones.
The sheer amount of unprovoked violence that has occured against innocent people by these scumbags is mind blowing.
It's so much violence that it is difficult for the human brain to even process.
So many deaths.
So many permanent injuries.
So many years spent in cages.
Kidnapping, Extortion, Theft, Rape, Murder.
Dead dogs.
And if one fucking agent of the state gets a boo boo it is the end of the world. If they get killed, they are honored as fallen heroes as if they haven't spent their entire career inflicting harm on others in service of the ruling class. If you dare to defend yourself against these monsters you will feel the full wrath of a criminal organization with a monopoly on violence.
If you even hurt one of their dogs....you are fucked. Does it matter that the dog was about to rip your genitals off with its teeth over $10 worth of weed? No of course not. Does it matter that they shoot our dogs if they even look at an officer sideways? Nope. Police dogs are ordained by the holy priests of the court as a higher form of life than you, a lowly citizen.
So what do we do?
Violence will never work against them, instead they need to be shunned, shamed, defunded, and ostracized from our communities until they no longer are willing to be an agent for the state. The social cost needs to be so high that no sane person would sign up.
Don't sell them houses, don't rent to them, don't serve them food, don't let them attend your church, don't fix their cars, don't talk to them, don't date them, don't let your children near them. Same for their spouses or partners. (Leave their kids alone, they didn't pick who their parents are, but the spouse did pick who they married)
These agents of the state are just regular people, regular people don't do well when they are completely outcasted from society. Most of them will give into the pressure eventually.
What is the state without the agents to enforce their monopoly on violence? It becomes nothing more than some corrupt politicians waving around pieces of paper.
Another way to stop them without violence is to stop using the dollar. If no one accepts the dollar, the state has nothing of value to pay its agents with. Unpaid agents of the state quickly become ex agents of the state.
The violence of the state can be stopped without firing a single shot with these methods of nonviolent resistance while waving a sign or voting isn't going to do much of anything. You can have the largest protest movement ever, elect your candidates, and pass some good laws. Even if you manage to do all that by some miracle, it won't matter because it can all be destroyed by the next round of corrupt politicians. Years of effort can be undone with one vote and a signature. It will always be one step forward and two steps back as long as the state exists with a monopoly on violence. The centralized power itself is the problem, and changing the politicians doesn't fix that.
It's just a question of whether enough people will wake up in time. They either need to wake up soon and realize the state is an evil organization that needs to be stopped, or they may wake up one day in a prison camp wishing they had done something while they were still free.
TLDR: Stop using their money, defund them.
Shame and ostracize their agents.

They want you to think your enemy is your neighbor and the battle that matters is between the left and right.
This is to distract people from the true enemy, the entire ruling class.
Both Democrats and Republicans will continue to oppress the people.
Both will extract maximum value from the people to benefit themselves.
It's a scam.
One of the best things about living outside the system is I have no credit card debt. No student loans. No mortgage. No car loan.
If I want to borrow money I have to put up collateral and borrow it from DeFi protocols.
This protocols would liquidate me before my balance goes negative.
No credit cards = no temptation
No idea what my credit score is.
Don't care.
If I want something, I buy it outright, in cash.
The only way I'm going to end up in debt is if I get hit with unexpected medical bills, as I am uninsured.
Hoping to get rich before that happens🤑🤑🤞
If you are trying to live outside the system, a good solution to avoid getting into medical debt is traveling for treatments.
For example a friend just went to India and is getting full dental implants with bone grafts and the whole nine yards, from a world class dentist, for a fraction of what it would cost in the United States.
A few trips to India is saving him tens of thousands of dollars.
There are ways around everything...
Living outside the system is scary at first, but you adapt quickly.
You don't have to go 100% at first, just dip a toe or two into the second realm.
You might just like it.

You can get married at 15 in Mississippi but now you can't use social media there without age verification.
Age verification is not about protecting children, I mean it's pretty fucking obvious that governments don't care about protecting children, they do more harm to children than anyone.
This is about controlling the last bastion of freedom on planet Earth, the internet. This is why we need viable decentralized permissionless applications to replace these traditional apps as they become gated one by one.
Building and supporting builders of these alternatives is more important now than ever. We are running out of time.
