Right now. Tell your friends and family, organize together, make a petition and formally / officially ask your local government to combat this very real threat to your existence.
Make a local change, inspire others in other places to do the same and together you can force change everywhere.
You just gotta start doing it first.
Also arm up. There are 800k cops in the US that’s only 1 cop for every 320 US adults. Communities should organize and stand up against these tyrants with force if diplomacy doesn’t work.
Can't say I agree with going in that direction. But if the collective community considers it to be an absolute necessity in their situation, I won't say i know any better.
