You do not have to make them do anything. They can sit it out, most will. But what will YOUR choice be?
This is one of the central failings of the EU. Our forefathers pledged their 'Life and Sacred Honor' to their union. What brand of malcontent would so devote themselves to Brussels?
A Belgian maybe?
And honestly you can do nothing, that is a legitimate option. To just say you resist and do nothing else. Or make an excuse and claim that it's too far to claim your goal.
Hmm let me think of the great Belgian military victories. I'm drawing a blank. Maybe I should drink more?
You can do all that. Slaves have done so for all of human history.
I get it. I can man up or I can be a coward. The point of discussion I thought was about tactics. Which as the username should indicate, I'm far from an expert in.
@Jym what about the exploitation of the Congo?
@galesteppes
Leopold bought it. I mean fighting people who hadn't invented the wheel with firearms is not terribly difficult.
Tactics, huh? Well, first, you need to make sure that you can prepare. Get you some weapons. A hardware store is your friend. The human skull breaks with surprising ease when using a penetrating point.
This is why helmets are the first piece of armor you should ever invest in.
Err. I'man American and we do things weird. Have you considered throwing a lot of tea into a harbor and just shooting Germans until they give up?
If you do not want to kill anyone, then threaten self harm in a very public place, preferrably a government area.
A gas mask, airtight goggles, and a welding helmet will help minimize the effect of nonlethal weapons.
Or I mean like three votes was the margin on no-deal. You could fix that in an ellection....
@galesteppes I'm starting to understand this channel
No you can't, the vote was made.
Anyway, attract as much attention to yourself as possible. Wear bright colors. Hell. Set yourself on fire in a central location once news cameras turn up.
by the time it an election the damage is done long time ago
Your elections do not work anyway.
And it's not like there is a valid deal on the table. Hell if the EU can't pass an extension pretty sure article 50 is already in motion. Short of a revocation that's a de-facto Hard Brexit.
And it's a one-shot trick
Or, and I mean we had a lot of success with this. Throwing tea into a harbor. It's how civilized people do these things.
Okay pussy, try cargo terminals
Sabotage trade
It is why we dumped tea into the harbor. That was a fuckton of money
Seems even worse because at least self immolation's intent is obvious, while destruction seems easy to spin in a way that lessens support not attracts it.
It is defiance.
Also write a very stern letter to the King of the EU about how in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another. Trust me this shit i gold.
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?
