    Make citizens arrests of ICE officers, film it, post it on decentralised social media.

    What is the next step in this fantasy? Citizen’s execution? Turn them over to LE and immediately get imprisoned? This is open rebellion against the government. Which, fine, but if that’s the idea then ‘peacefully arrest the enemy’ is a bad war plan.

      I think rebels should start thinking more organizationally. Not everyone needs to be willing to die or kill to create a strong resistance. Sabotage can come in many forms, like stealing or destroying critical supplies; creating confusion or slowing down the enemy can be huge tactical advantages. I think if people really want to civil war this shit, then “get guns” isn’t helpful. Instead we should be suggesting things like “wear masks an obfuscate your identifiable characteristics and move road blocks into the roads leading to/from ICE facilities” and “dismantle or create a blockage for their buildings plumbing or water supplies”.
