Your aim is to send a message that your national spirit is too strong to subjugate.
If you fail, well, you tried. If you succeed, someone else will be inspired.
Success is NOT GUARANTEED. So be prepared for failure. On your own terms.
Are you so sure that ANY action can only have a positive effect or none?
Because that specific idea of harming trade I can see backfiring
No. But I do know that inaction cannot help you at this point.
Actually making me a common enemy between the gov and the people.
The people will suffer.
They will either way.
Surely minimising that is something worth taking into account
Or is that just a tactical weakness?
But it can be either a short lived suffering to save them, or a long term, less obvious suffering that destroys their spirit.
Of course, do not harm innocents.
Here this is a good template. Send something like this to Brussels;

You could find a group of likeminded people and storm an armory.
Will definitely get you killed and send a message that you were trying to revolt.
Or I mean listen to Ender LARP....
I would already be dead over there. But I'm not British.
This is all what I would do for America.
Hey it's good ideas even if it's on the deep end of things, and I just needed a kick in the right direction. Jym I'll check that out.
The part Ender gets right is it has to be in the domain of real life, not official correspondence or the internet.
My point, is that you've already done the usual protesring shit, and look at how effective it was.
I haven't. Heck I voted remain. Been something of a system shock.
You need people to perceive you ass too insane to easily deal with, sothat they just give up.
Plot twist
Yeah the problem with internet is that it is too easy. Like Tweeting your representative is 1/10th of an Email. An Email is 1/10th of a physical letter. So you can have 100x the effect by actually writing and sending something much less physically talking to someone.
You will obviously need to meet up with others who are as determined, so attending protests is still smart.
Joining your local CoC will maximize your political power more than any social media can.
Since social media will be blocked pretty quickly anyway.
I think thatif you hold outlong enough, other EU countries will start to join in. Discontent seems widespread.
Even outside of that. The CoC has actual impact on local decisions to a degree no internet politics could hope for. So the politicians have to apy attention to them.
@Jym Have to keep in mind thatthey do not have actual rights to protest there.
Again, the username is relevant, what's the CoC?
They can be given 'permissions'.
(I probably know, just don't know that acronym)
Chamber of Commerce. Not sure what the UK equivalent is. It's a casual organization of local business interests. In my country they actually audit public programs and often fill diplomatic trade roles.
Like the reason most Toyotas are now made in Kentucky an Tennessee is that those CoCs negotiated the deal.
Nlt sure how thekr system is structured, even party affiliation seems to cost money. Might not be as feasible.
Not sure myself. Most of the Intermarrium uses the CoC designation but unsure how widespread it is in Europe. There has to be some sort of similar organization because you can't get anything done otherwise.
They have weird bullshit with... Well, the EU.
So.
