This Needs Fixin'

Sometimes, it’s a choice between a (relatively) small disruption now versus a complete collapse later.

This is especially the case when a system is already compromised.

If an attacker is already “in your base killing your dudes” it can often cause less damage overall to just shut down while you work on it; that limits the damage to what has already been done, plus whatever the affects of doing without the system for a while are.

And right now, Musk and His Minions are quite literally inside our base downloading massive databases of private information and rewriting the systems by which this country functions.

So, just shut the U.S. government down for a while.

Now, I’m no fan of the U.S. government; this site has always been quite critical of it.

But if the alternative is it being replaced with direct rule by fascist plutocrats, well, then it’s very much the case of the lesser evil here.

The courts will not respond quickly enough to prevent significant and lasting damage .

Short of a mass (armed) intervention, there’s very little of use that citizens can do at the moment but the civil service and Congress can stop this by simply refusing to go along with it. Shut the networks down, lock the doors, force votes on every little procedural detail, grind the government to a halt.

Your country will thank you.

Better to gracefully shut the government down for a while than to have the new government they’re building.
