My goal however is resist successfully without dying. That may be harder but I find it preferable. In that light, the sort of things that have been talked about in 3% circles are not of clear general usefulness. It seems likely to me that an intelligently orchestrated police action could nibble away at the 3%, causing a shootout here and there, which would always get reported as "just another wacko going nuts with guns", and without sparking any kind of general discontent. For example: the first chapter of Absolved seems to me to be extremely optimistic in terms of overpreparation on the target's part, underpreparation on the cops' part, and all the luck going one way. I don't see a real world incident playing out that way, particularly after the first few shootouts - they'd be readier. And it would be a very unusual town that wasn't split in opinion about what exactly happened and whether he should've "just obey the law" or to respect the officers of the court or what have you.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, many people _support_ police departments and the FBI. Yes they grumble about tickets but they can't imagine doing without the very organs of state power that are going to be the 3%'s biggest opposition. This leaves the 3% in the default position of being a guerrilla force amid a neutral to hostile population - which is simply terrible.<BR/><BR/>The question is not how to die for your beliefs. Anybody can do that. Carl Drega did, and look what that accomplished. Willingness to die is useful but not sufficient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-60745597378464650322008-12-02T02:09:00.000-06:002008-12-02T02:09:00.000-06:00Hmmm, it's almost like half the internet doesn't k...Hmmm, it's almost like half the internet doesn't know or remember what Fort Sumter is.

Glad to see you chimed in. I was unable to get him to understand the 3% do not want to speak for everybody ONLY US as INDIVIDUALS in a common goal. I would like you did answer each of his points, then they would change and I would answer them, never able to get my point across that retreat is no longer an option, resolve is.
