You’re right. It is easy for me to say.
But, if they pay 135,000, then how is that different than allowing the house to be burned to the ground?
I don’t want them to give anything at all.
I don’t either but for this to be a cause there has to be a way to give them material support... not just money.
If there were to be a peaceful insurrection, a protest, an act of civil disobedience... what would it be for? What would be the issue and how would it be done?
These people refusing to pay the fine will result in the same consequence every time an individual stands up alone against the system... they lose, get carted off and that is the end of it. The rest of us say, “Oh my, that’s terrible. I sure hope nothing like that happens to me.” We behave like rodents out on a bare rock picked off by a hawk one by one.
There must be a means of solidarity so that all the participants in the disobedience can’t be carted off. It must have mass.
