Unfortunately, "desensitizing" people to existing law by illegal rebellions is a Pyrrhic victory at best when the consequences are so impactful to the individuals that martyr for The Cause.

There are processes for changing the laws without sending kids to jail, having to treat kids like terrorists, or potentially making the law even harsher because it isn't effective enough to dissuade lawbreaking. If the laws feel draconian, perhaps following those processes might be a better approach to change the system without as many sacrifices.

And none of them work, or will ever work in this oligarchy. The rich own the congress, and the senate, and they benefit greatly from these things. America hasn't been a functioning republic in at least 50 years.
