There are many sorts of authoritarians. Some should have been Mullahs, Mahdis, Muftis, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals, Inquisitors, Grand-Inquisitors, etc.

JIHAD -- Mostly used in Muslim writing to denote ‘holy war.’ However, in mystical literature, this term was interpreted in its root sense of ‘exertion’ and came to mean an inner struggle for purification.

As long as they keep the Jihad an "inner struggle".
When it comes to them trying to "purify" the rest of us...

Then I retreat to the very northernmost portion of New Hampshire or some mountain redoubt which is defensible -- someplace where our liberties can be recovered and defended -- and where we can be left alone!

They will never, ever, leave you alone. You can run, but you can't hide.

The authoritarians will hunt you down no matter how well you hide to make sure, at gunpoint if necessary, that you don't take a forbidden substance or look at a picture of a nude person or break some other "law" they have written.
