I disagree. Respectfully.
People will pull up their gardens themselves. When the smart meters cut off or the banking funds are frozen. Can be done with a click of the mouse button. By someone thousands of miles away. Selectively.
The Lidice and Waco badguys had to show up in person. Technology has rendered that paradigm unimportant. Get the gardeners hot enough or cold enough with no electricity, the gardens will magically disappear. The few truly off the grid ones can be handled in person.
The only way the government could get away with that, is if people go in feeling overwhelmed and defeated, which you tend to advocate, and don't fight back.
As I said, we outnumber the guards thousands to 1.
