      I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.

          Yeah, that’s why it’s the chaotic neutral solution… We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We’d to have to work together, and that is chaotic.

              We’d probably need a few people to keep track of things, but that’s quite a powerful position so we’d need a system to switch them out for better people if they start making decisions we don’t like. And if some people are growing corn and others are catching fish, should they just trade them directly? Maybe some system to keep track of how much of next year’s corn you’re swapping for the fish I gave you last week… And grandma is pretty old now, should we feed her? Can I ask my neighbours to help feed her?

            I’d say it’s more likely chaotic good if not even neutral good, as long as we do the things you mention and other necessary precautions.

        You’re probably joking, but a General Strike might legitimately be the only nonviolent way that regular people can force systemic change in a society where the rich and powerful control all the levers of government.
