The REAL meaning of the 3.5% rule and why each of us need to participate in mass non-cooperation
“While the President declared himself EMPEROR by executive fiat and tried to criminalize dissent under the guise of ‘order’, America’s better angels remembered that disobedience is not only a right, it is a RITE.
They marched in the rain.
They danced in the snow.
They organized potlucks in the burned-out old towns where factories once breathed because even in Hell, flowers grow.”
— Robert Arnold

William A. Finnegan

Refusal is a withdrawal.

Why mass non-cooperation is more dangerous than protest.
Ratf**cked? How to Fight Back (Maybe)
William A. Finnegan

- Go where they don’t expect you.
- Build parallel institutions.
