You are laying out a strategy that is certain to fail.

The few tens or hundreds of thousands of people who are really willing to accept bodily harm and never fight will be killed and jailed in the first year or two. Little of this will be televised or even mentioned.

For example, in 2004, almost 2000 completely peaceful protestors were arrested for planning to demonstrate in front of the RNC in NYC - the largest political arrests in US history.

They were mostly charged with serious felonies. This was in the early days of ubiqutous video, so they were able to prove that nearly all of the charges were deliberate perjury by the cops (who not only faced no consequences but were promoted).

Did you ever see videos of these people being "kettled" and arrested? Did you ever hear about the proven perjuries, and the city's decades-long effort to protect the police from any consequences of their actions?

Ten years later, the city paid a few pennies: https://www.nyclu.org/en/press-releases/victory-unlawful-mass-arrest-during-2004-rnc-largest-protest-settlement-history

The idea of a standup, fair fight with honor against an enemy with tens of thousands of times our strength and no scruples at all is madness, and a madness that is certain to fail.

I appreciate that you are coming from the great liberal tradition of fairness, but the time for that was two generations ago, and now our time is almost up.

Indeed, we lost our main battle, to save our biosphere from the climate disaster, over a decade ago when Obama turned out to be a fossil fuel fanatic despite all his beautiful lies about, "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal".

But we can still avoid catastrophe if we act now and decisively.

What's the difference between disaster and catastrophe? You can perhaps recover from a disaster.
