If a tyranical regime took over your country, what would you do?  By tyranical I mean like Oceania in 1984, Nazi Germany, or the People's Republic of China.  I'm not saying go out and bomb stuff - I mean, if you live in your nice democratic free country, and then a fascist coup took hold, what would you do?

I'd fight for freedom.  I wouldn't be a terrorist - I'd be more like V in "V for Vendetta," only harming those who opress and violently kill the innocent.  One person can do a lot, and there are many others who would do the same.  It's hard to assume that a fascist coup could work in America - the states would be pissed, and it's incredibly likely the army would go "no fucking way."  Yet, smaller countries often have sucessful coups.

So...what would you do?

Mixture of the last 2. Hide in the woods with the various gun-toters in nearby Virginia. Get the Army and USMC units around here to help us out. Then... we strike.

Or we can make like General MacArthur and leave the US, saying we will return. We then make a huge fuckin' force and come back.

I would either leave or fight it. 

Honestly, these regimes don't come about overnight.  I would rather prevent it from happening in the first place.

I'd bomb government officials.  It isn't terrorism if you aren't killing innocents; it's just another way of "freedom fighting".

Im not a "ass kicking son of a gun macho HELL YEAH fuck Chuck Norris killing machine" as many of you, so I will say "I'd try to be a law-abiding citizen". I would of course try to leave in time but if I didnt make it out I would follow the law.

Because they could/would?

I was talking about the reference to the Iraq Invasion - More specifically how you don't seem to be able to keep your anti-US bias out of any post you submit.

Nice to say, except that the majority of the people fighting the US in Iraq are not Iraqi.  They have come from other middle eastern nations to fight "the great jihad."  Saudi, Yemen, Jordanian, Egyptian, Iranian.  Iraq is not the popular uprising you picture it to be.  The vast majority of Iraqis are just trying to live their lives the best they can.  And they came out in enormous numbers to vote for the current Iraqi government.
