1/n The downfall of tyrants usually comes when those they empower both to protect them and to crush resistance to them lose confidence in their masters' ability either to reward them or to spare them, in their turn, from the people's growing fury...

2/n It is well past time that we should ostracise this Junta's petty Praetorians as a way of peacefully showing our disgust at their shameful complicity in the grinding destruction of our way of life.
We all know who they are: they live among us. Let them know they face a choice.

3/n Either they continue to enforce their orders, not just devoid of all morality but of dubious legality, or they refuse & can again enjoy our companionship, trust & respect.
Don't serve them in your business. Don't acknowledge them in the street. Shun them. Boycott them...

4/n.. Force them to decide: are they with Us or are they happy to be seen as the violent face of Them, those who would oppress us?

This does NOT require physical confrontation, nor even harsh words, but a simple, pacific refusal to allow these functionaries of misrule to...

5/n .. think they can blithely put down their riot shields, strip off their Hiviz, and snuggle back cosily into the bosom of civil society whenever they are not out on duty, enforcing the ruin of our hopes and dreams and ensuring the utter denial of our freedoms...

6/n The day the State's enforcers -who are, after all, our neighbours, family & erstwhile friends- come to realise that they, too, must share in the misery this evil government is visiting upon us, they will finally desist.

Thus we bring the despots to their long-deserved end.
