    He’s banking on many of them resorting to crime so he can say, “see! I told you!” and justify martial law and calling the nations guard to come down hard on American citizens.

          I don’t see what else could possibly be implied by people pointing this out over and over.

          “Don’t rock the boat because you’re giving him what he wants.”

            There’s a big difference between pointing out their strategy and telling people not to react, and all I read here is the pointing out.

              Dude that’s a horrible thing to imply, these people are starving. Why don’t you try not eating for 4 weeks and see how you like it.

                They’re saying that pointing out the regime’s strategy isbto starve people into committing crimes so they can declare martial law IS NOT the same as saying we should do nothing about it.
