Exactly. If the policy was so unpopular that it caused 100000+ people to take to the streets, whoever implemented it probably knew it was going to be devicive/unpopular beforehand, and knew that people were going to run around screaming about it once it was in place. Macron removed the citizenship of un vaxxed French because he knew it would get a rise; he's basically trolling IRL. They aren't surprised that people find their edicts to be totalitarian; they aren't stupid, authoritarianism was the whole point. The whole "just stop complying" LARP is the same imo. Just ask pot heads from the 80s and 90s how "just not complying" with drug laws worked out.
Well I get what you’re saying, but I don’t agree that’s true in all cases. They were definitely going to do a major crackdown on guns in the US after newtown but they tucked tails after all the very nasty letters they received. THAT isn’t what stopped them, it’s that they weren’t ready to go that hard before the endgame, IMHO. Must of recalculated odds at that point and decided to delay.
The other thing I’ll point out is that at a minimum, non-compliance forces their hand. Otherwise, compliance is what they want, is it not?

On the other hand, never comply.
Oh of course, of course lol.
It will take more than that alone is what I'm saying

Obviously non-compliance is essential. It is the most basic step, without other forms of action though, it won't accomplish anything
