They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves.
Once again, no.
The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

Did I say we’re incredibly hard to govern centrally? Sorry, I should have said “fucking impossible”
They don’t have the people or the material resources to occupy more than one or two cities at a time. National martial law would be very hard to maintain for any significant length of time if at all

This is a good point. And of course it also makes singular regime-toppling protests harder compared to smaller countries.

I feel like I should also issue a reminder about *how ridiculously motherfucking BIG this country is*
Germany is tiny compared to us. Our population is massive and fractious and incredibly hard to govern centrally. Geography is a material reality that they don’t have the resources to overcome

They don’t have the juice or manpower for it. This is not late 1930s Germany. There is no state monopoly on media. They are wildly unpopular.

Second, and probably most importantly, it's tactically wrong. "No point discussing political opposition to fascism, there won't be elections anyway" cedes victory to your enemies. It's defeatism and nihilism.

Far too often we see news stories about "sanctuaries" that are exposed as frauds and abusers, and we're sure you see those stories, too. We hope that by achieving GFAS accreditation our supporters can be reassured that we are exactly who we present ourselves to be. sanctuaryfederation.org
Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS)
GFAS ensures that abandoned, displaced, or injured animals receive the highest standards of care during rescue, rehabilitation, and the rest of their life.
