According to the german constitution germans are not only allowed but required to kill unelected heads of government.
Although I’m Swiss, I would do the same. Every Swiss person has to enter the Military and it’s a societal contract that our militia is there to keep the democracy alive.
A lot of authoritarian governments are/were elected though.
*Every Swiss male has to enter the military unless unable or unwilling to.
No Swiss person has to enter the military.
I’d also like to see proof of the first claim. Germany’s Grundgesetz Art. 20 (4) gives the right to oppose but doesn’t require it.
Yes and no. Every Swiss male has to serve in the military. You are allowed to compensate for it instead, but there is still a Wehrpflicht, that doesn’t change. Just that the compensation is Part of the Wehrpflicht.
You can also be arbitrarily deemed “unfit for service” and forced to pay a pretty expensive compensation fee for the next several years, even if you would have preferred to have done the months of military or year of civil service instead.
you can’t anymore actually. There was a ruling of the Europäischer Menschenrechtsgerichtshof (I think that’s how it’s called?) (not the one of the EU but the one of the European Council) that that was discriminatory and they legally have to allow everyone to serve.
It was in an official document on the official website (I think of the Kanton Luzern?), so it certainly isn’t a fake. I can possibly find it for you again if you want to.
Edit: can’t find the official Document, but here you go: https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/europaeischer-gerichtshof-wehrpflichtersatz-diskriminiert-gesundheitlich-untaugliche
In the second paragraph they talk about what I just said.
BLOOD AND MURDER

Dictatorships are built on narratives. To stop them one must break their narrative, which is an iterative process—they’ll change the narrative to explain away new developments, but if you force them to keep making changes faster than their adherents can absorb them, their shared reality will fall apart.
Ding Ding Ding! This right here. Unfortunately, they say one thing one day, and the opposite the other, and know their followers will latch onto the answer they want to believe/be true. It is exactly how religions work too.
I feel this is really the most important answer here. We must break the false narratives that they use to hold power.
And nothing does that better than video evidence. Fortunately, virtually every cell phone still in existence can record video.
but the problem now is we are in the age of “ai” & fake videos.
They will just claim everything is fake (while claiming their own fake videos are real and the only Truth).
They’ve given up on narratives and now say lots of conflicting things to overload your brain.
after all other options are exhausted civil disobedience is the only thing left
examples would include handing about abortion pills in illegal states
Yes, this makes sense! Hopefully while doing so one could build a coalition that includes more and more people.
Join the resistance. Evil must be opposed.
How though

I would like to think a lot of sacrifices for the sake of my “fellows”.
Realistically some mild ineffective activism with a whole lot of hiding because I’m not responsible for the idiots that let the situation get there in the first place.
Not my job and won’t happen here.
And when/how would you know it was time to do this thing you’re ready to do?
You wouldn’t. Everyone would keep being brainwashed into accepting reality. It’s happening now.
Sorry, couldn’t hear you over the sound of the boiling water in this pot
Nice try FBI
Damn
Username checks out.
I guess, it depends on the dictatorship. For example if it’s the one being formed in the US currently, here are some ideas: https://theintercept.com/2024/11/14/trump-agenda-organize-protest-movement/
You say that as if dictators, by their nature, aren’t going to sneak up on us. The question, sadly, should be what we would do once one reveals themselves, and the answer to that is in a battle of wit VS law.
I read the question as “why would you stop a transition to a dictatorship,” and the answer to that is to stop a transition to a dictatorship. Like, duh.
But for real, I don’t really have the answers. Things aren’t that dire yet where I live, but the best time to start on mutual aid is yesterday - and the second best time is today.
Well, first I’d fight off speech censorship. We effectively did that through one man, so in that sense we were very lucky.
Look at England right now. They’re ahead of us a few years into censorship because they didn’t have the guy we do. People going to prison for social media posts. Wild
Tf are you even trying to say? Use some details. Who’s we? Who’s the one man? Who’s us? The guy I’m assuming is the one man from earlier??? Who’s going to prison?
