    Not for a long time. Those that try to organize get ICEd before things get going. That's why there are the monitoring tools. There are too many believers of individual freedom to get something collective going spontaneously. This way it can take years before things get bad enough.

    They ARE building bunkers and given that they have access to all information about us I can only assume we are close to violence.

    This isn’t the gotcha you think it is, the rich write the laws so their threat of violence is legally considered business as usual.
