You can reclaim your copies and spawn more whenever you want.
I know you want to enact change in your life, but isn't overthrowing the gov't a bit extreme? You have to remember that a good number of fascists voted for the status quo, and so will oppose you even more if you take the country by storm.
Why not enact change locally in your community first, and then see if people like what you're doing, and if so, try to spread that change, and essentially undermine the gov't and their fascist voters by showing them an easy alternative, and eventually shame them into doing the right thing, all without a single drop of blood.
Then the government knows what I look like and will be able to plan around my existence. Most national security policies assume cartoonishly massive human waves coming out of nowhere are not possible. The element of surprise and the rush attack is key to victory. Revealing that I have this power without conquering the planet ensures instead that I get kidnapped and get experimented with in a secret bunker.
I agree, but then how are you not the same as the Jan 6 rioters?
i have good politics
that's what they believed too
Yes, but they were wrong
the american revolution was illegal. sedition and insurrection are as good as the relative politics of the belligerents.
fascism is bad, capital slowly capitulating to fascists is bad, a proletarian revolution would be good.
