> Act up only when a major figure that has a chance of success gives the word

It depends what you mean with "act up", but i disagree people should act (legally act, protest, organize) when they have a major figure behind them, which, more likely than not, will be a controlled opposition like Trump himself.

> "anonymity is overrated, get yourself 'vetted' (doxed) ASAP"

In order to have a mass movement or organization, which is necessary to achieve political goals, it is NECESSARY to have a system of membership. Even if it's limited to an political vanguard that intends to lead a broader group associated/guided by it, it still needs to organize a reliable pool of political actors towards a collective goal.

 That's all retarded. Claiming that every major figure that the regime demonstrates fear of is "controlled opposition" is a fear tactic used, ironically, primarily by controlled opposition groups.

Basically, if there's group composed of an obese guy 'leader' and a couple dozen inbred-looking losers insisting that the tall blond billionaire that's getting the book thrown at him for winning an election, the Afrikaner billionaire that's openly shittalking the funny nose people to an audience of hundreds of millions, and everyone else remotely effective is secretly controlled by the regime, you may want to avoid the first group.

Said groups claim to be "vanguards", but this is deceptive. They do not serve as the vanguard of anything. The Freikorps, who they pretend to emulate, emerged organically to defend a millions-strong political movement that was facing violent attacks when it rallied. A bunch of fatties and glowies waddling around, going out of their way to alienate every normal, healthy person that looks at them is just controlled opposition.
