Thrilling.

Again: Who do you intend to shoot, and for what?

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.”

Sounds like your armed insurrection should have started in the 1800s. Certainly by the time of FDR.

My ancestor refused to take up arms against the British. He was a pacifist, not a loyalist, but he lost almost everything he owned and died in poverty. I assume you approve. But since the US Government could be accused of many of the abuses that are in that list, in what sense was my ancestor wrong?

I get the sense that you are misconstruing my frequent reminder, but I could be wrong. Perhaps you’re truly interested in when the list of usurpations call for rebellion. My position would be that it must be a defined point and not something that is simply in the eye of a beholder.

A “Krystallnacht” type event would definitely be a sign, but should the German Jews have responded prior to that?

The key would be the government exhibiting both ‘hate’ AND ‘persecution’ in actions.
