  I'd be surprised if it's acceptable to give that question an honest answer. Precise historical examples of specific acts of rebellion against legal systems perceived to be unjust, like the 1943 Amsterdam civil registry bombing (for which the Wikipedia page is illuminating alone) show the problems with such acts: even if everybody in a particular urban centre goes along with the rebellion, the long-term results are minor. As Kotkin says, successful revolutions need an ideological throughline that can produce coherence by itself.

  Also from last night, a father who had nothing to do with the protests leaving the area to get to somewhere safer. He had six kids in his car and they threw a flashbang at him, and now all six of his kids are in the hospital [1]. Incredibly barbaric shit. I think they're getting real close to triggering armed riots in Minneapolis. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR9PetzoL2I&t=6s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR9PetzoL2I&t=6s
