The whole point is to change the risk calculations people make in order to make "civil" and "polite" actions such as protests, legislation, etc. more risky and therefore most people are less likely to engage in.
What these dumb asses don't realize is that if the level of risk for the "peaceful" options rises to the same level as alternatives, which are arguably much more effective, then those are going to be the only recourse people have and the actions people will take.
I do believe your analysis is correct about there being zero chance of it being legislated away. So now what?
The answer is the alternatives or get crushes under the boot heel.
Remember all those dystopian movies that were trying to warn us? Well now they're guides.
Please reference said movies
Anything simple enough for either of us to consciously understand would almost certainly be wrong
I really liked the idea of peaceful options I got to feel all star fleet and shit about it
