They’re not tyrants, they’re just corrupt assholes. Calling them tyrants is exactly what they want you to do. They’re too weak, stupid, and pathetic to be tyrants.
The ruling class, you’re talking about here? Yeah, I don’t see it. Do tyrants even exist in modern day if they can’t aptly be called that?
And “civil disobedience” don’t make me laugh. Dumb rich students with more time on their hands then they know what to do with have been engaging in “civil disobedience” all year and what have they accomplished? Nothing. What did they accomplish before when Trump was in office? Even more nothing.
Civil disobedience, as in continuing to use the bathrooms that align with their gender identity, helping pregnant people cross state lines to get an abortion even if the state government forbids it, and hiding undocumented immigrants from ICE. It accomplishes people having freedom and using that freedom, even if the laws in the books forbid it.
I’m not saying things will be better or stay the same, I’m saying the evil will be banal. We’ll grow poorer while they grow richer. People will die but it won’t be from death camps, it’ll be because they can’t afford medical care or food.
And what’s your actual idea for what to do about that? I’m advocating ignoring unjust laws. That means that if it’s the only option available, you can steal food and medicine to help people who need it.

Okay. I think I was pretty civil here. Not trying to get personal or insulting.
