As someone that never believed, the tailing point below was something I had to learn. People didn't believe I don't. You're just lapsed or arguing with a deity.
Now many see atheism as an -ism or a belief but it is an a-. The a- is for not. Humanism is an -ism but, atheism is a just nope to theism.

Doing actual nothing is a surprisingly powerful weapon. Do no work, pay no taxes or bills, the regime will fall. Deny the regime a target and resources at the same time. Channel your time & $$$ to community supports.

There is a reason most "taxpayer" groups only use data from 1974 and forward. They don't want you to know that 50% to 96% top tax rates were normal for decades and the main engine of progress. Don't complain about the taxes, complain about wages being too low, union busting or lack of basic income.

If Conservatives had tabled the exact same Bill C-2, Bill C-4 and Bill C-5 would the concerns of indigenous leaders, environmentalists, policy analysts, privacy experts, opposition and backbench MPs been heeded? Are Canadians truly comfortable with every future government having more police powers?

Fundamentalists will do anything to preserve their bubble against reality. That is why groups too extreme for the religious wars of 16th & 17th century Europe crossed an ocean to make an "evangelical" fiefdom in what is now the US. Understanding history helps understand the present.

Absolutely, the precarious nature of work in US makes it hard to organize/strike in general. However, having raised strike funds, wallets don't open until the strike starts. It's an unfortunate paradox. Normalizing general strikes as the "We The People" tool is the goal. It's never going to be easy.
