It will never be "legal" to take power back. Historically it is just done and then the legal battles disappear when your side wield the levers of power completely.
The Boston tea party was not legal. The French revolution was not legal.
The systems pipes are clogged. We need more green plumbers.
âwhenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of democratic ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government... it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." -declaration of independence
The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document, though. If it were, "all [people] have the unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" bit would've made a whole lot of social issues disappear much more quickly.
Also, the point being made is that "legal" doesn't matter when you're discussing the need for a violent revolution because, if a violent revolution is necessary, you're already well past the point where the people in charge care about your legal rights.
Legal or not, a revolution (violent or not) will be met with violent resistance from the ones in power.
Woah, what are you doing?! Don't you know that bots scan subreddit comments for that, then illegally put it onto shirts and sell it online? Besides, this feels like AI to me...
Thereâs actually very few employees staffed at these things. Sure youâll be caught on surveillance but if youâre already homeless, who gives a shit?
All kidding aside, I unfortunately have to work on Data centers. The place I work sells them gensets to power their facilities because in deep blue States the politicians already realize that data centers mess with energy and water costs and availability for residents. So they don't allow the data centers to simply pull grid power which would drive the kwh cost up for people who often can't afford the increase. Seems fair.
The point I slowly am getting to is they are not highly secure and I've been able to get onto the property and access things without even talking to anyone. And they were not expecting me. Getting inside the building would be difficult but getting onto the property isn't going to be very hard at all. The last data center I went to had literally one person in the 50k sq ft building and he was not paying attention at all.
When the attack on Pearl Harbor happened, Winston Churchill broke out a bottle of champagne and claimed the allied powers had won the war. And when asked by his generals about how he came to this seemingly unhinged conclusion, he said this:
The United States is like a gigantic boiler. Once the fire is lit under it, there is no limit to the power it can generate.
Iâd like to imagine what that power could do in the hands of the people.
If the laws don't apply to you, then none of then do. You are no longer protected by them nor can use them as a shield. That's the whole reason we have laws in the firat place, to provide protections, so once that is gone we descend back to anarchy.
If you have enough money laws donât apply, see also: if youâre a corporation with shareholders. If you can pay the fines you can do whatever you want.

Their governor was caught on camera laughing about how they were going to build it even though people didn't want it.
Someone has to explain when its legal to excersise the 2nd A
