Intro: Toppling the System

What to do.

White Americans (and most Whites elsewhere as well), should consider themselves an oppressed, stateless people, faced with a repressive “woke” dictatorship.

Therefore, non-violent dissident political and metapolitical technics, typically used to undermine dictatorships, need to be considered. This is an introduction to the topic; future posts will consider particular approaches in more detail. For now, consider the following (emphasis added):

List updated, original from Gene Sharpe, The Politics of Nonviolent Action, Part Two, The Methods of Nonviolent Action.

This is a summary of what citizens can do to dislodge an oppressive dictator. It focuses entirely on nonviolent action, because the state almost always has overwhelming superiority when it comes to the use of force.  Violent opposition most often leads to prolonged stalemate or prolonged civil war.

The objective of nonviolent action is to undermine those in power, while winning over the general population. The most resistant groups are those who benefit from and support a dictatorship, such as the police, the military, and various elites. As long as these groups continue their support, an oppressive regime can remain in control. 

We can see why the System wants to purge the military of anyone to the right of Karl Marx and why the police have to be either "defunded" or "federalized." Once again, we can thank the Type I retards for the military situation. Instead of just doing their service and being quiet, just blending in, they have to act like jackasses and call attention to themselves. Will they finally learn now?

But once the middle class and elites defect, and the military and police refuse to use force to suppress opposition, a dictator is finished.

Will the military and police refuse?  This is and will remain a serious problem. The System will also mobilize their leftist street thugs; this is why there needs to be much broader community support than what exists now.  The Quota Queens have botched every opportunity; they have made every strategic and tactical error possible. Instead of Unite the Right, there should have been quiet and persistent community organizing. It is unknown whether these lost opportunities can ever be recaptured. Priority number one must be to replace the failed "leadership" with a better one.

Any group wishing to overthrow a dictator must continually search for ways to encourage people to actively oppose the regime. They must also maintain steady pressure through continuous nonviolent actions. And they need be inventive, rather than settle for the usual placard waving marches. Both dictatorships and democracies have adopted methods for accommodating marches and protests, and view them as a handy way to let people blow off steam with little or no disruption to the business of the state. 

Gene Sharpe is widely regarded as an expert on nonviolent action. He was a valued advisor to Otpor!, the leaderless student group that used funny, entertaining actions to get rid of nasty Serbian dictator Svoboda Milosevic. Sharpe says that the forces of opposition must exert continuous pressure and employ a variety of tactics. Here is his list.

Sallis Note: The approaches emphasized below are the ones that I believe have the most potential and that will be focused on in future posts.
