This video on Lego sorting got me thinking about how I'd start:
1. Get a roll of 5'x150' wire mesh with 6" squares
2. Cut this into 25 5x6' panels (120 squares)
3. Cover each with an old bedsheet.
4. Make a floor to ceiling stack using wooden 2x4 blocks as separators

I researched every attempt to stop fascism in history. The success rate is 0%.
