I understand that but imo this is not going to end well, let alone peacefully.
I just don’t see this administration/dictatorship conceding to anything just because production might have slowed down for a little bit. They’re in too deep now; they can’t just walk things back and go “whoops, sorry! How about we only prosecute a tiny fraction of agents that actually committed acts of force/violence to placate the masses” and it all cycles back around. They’re either going to get what they want or we’re going to have to stop them from taking it over our cold lifeless bodies.
Organized citizenry capable of pulling off general strikes could exact concessions time and again as they are willing to go on general strike. Nothing would harm them more than all business in the country shutting down for an extended period of time.
It would also show solidarity to the armed forces and security services that they plan on using to crush 1st amendment protected activity under false pretexts.
They’re in too deep now; they can’t just walk things back and go “whoops, sorry!
They’ll do that in a heartbeat. In fact, they do it alllll the fucking time. LA is a perfect example and relates to this. They didn’t have anyone on their side so they picked a new target.

Tell me I’m exaggerating.
