Civil Disobedience





Civil Disobedience is an interesting phrase. "Civil" connotes "polite" but also "social." You have civil defense, civil services. Gandhi used it against the British, then Martin Luther King against segregation. Speaking of civil defense, "civil" is in it,  but the connotation requires defending. DOGE is attacking many government organizations which contain the word "civil" often in "uncivil" ways that break both protocols and the law. If you are an employee of the US Treasury, which once was impregnable, you are not happy. What would Gandhi or MLK do in the face of juggernauts as powerful as colonialism and segregation still continue to be? "Drill baby drill" is the mantra of those who don't cotton to "civility," those who annex, annex and annex, say everything is constantly going be alright and then put all the dangerous dog eating immigrants into camps.
