If you've already decided that you want a civil war, then Trump doesn't need to find an excuse. You're going to force his hand. And any possibility that those soldiers might be on your side, disappears.
Only if people go into this looking for it.
If you really believe that, then you must know that attacking them isn't going to get you there. They need to see that what they're doing is wrong. And the only way to do that, is to make sure their orders are unjustified.
That's an Onion article. You can tell because Trump hasn't been shooting protesters for months already. That's what comes next. And that's when it stops being a protest, and turns into a civil war.
Don't be so eager to make that happen.
That's the Insurrection Act. The only way Trump could invoke it, would be if the protesters were armed and attacking the government. That's the entire reason why armed protests are a very bad idea in the US.
This is like saying, "If you're going to be wrongly accused of a crime, you may as well commit it"...just to prove them right?
Not sure how this advice does anything other than give Trump exactly what he wants.
AI consumes more resources than Bitcoin, at this point. We are accelerating our own demise, all for the spectacle of watching a computer hallucinate on command. There is nothing more decadently bourgeoisie than that.
I can't even imagine the mental gymnastics required to be both "pro-labor" and "pro-AI". I mean, yeah I'm all about workers rights...but imagine how much money my boss could make if he just replaced us all with robots?
...but, did it work?
There is an implied contract between the States and the Federal government regarding taxation. The Federal government cannot cut funding to a State and still expect them to keep their end of that agreement.

At this point, at least they're still using rubber bullets. But, that's the entire plan at the moment...keep shooting non-lethal rounds until someone shoots back.
Then...the safeties come off, and a lot of people die. It all depends on how long the protesters can keep their shit together before someone changes the nature of the conflict.
Right now, most of those soldiers are not going to be ok shooting civilians. But the instant they're getting shot at, there are no civilians anymore. Just targets.
