Don't Protest - Drop Out!

I was watching some video that was complaining of the new law that made it a federal felony with a one-year sentence to protest near anyone with Secret Service protection, and thought of this:

If enough people ignore this law and protest anyway it will completely overwhelm the federal court system.  I'm sure most people would practice self-preservation and let discretion be the better part of valor, but some die-hards may decide to test this new law, and put strain on the courts on purpose.

ON THE OTHER HAND, there's another five fingers: I just remembered all the "FEMA" camps, so there surely will be enough prison space, and a lot of it will be outdoors.  They've been thinking about this too I guess.  The only other thing for them to do is to somehow streamline the court process.  (i.e. take away due process, perhaps with that "enemy combatant" BS, although that's a different "crime" than protesting while in the wrong place, unless they decide it's all "terror" all the time). 

Also there's a provision about drafting people into labor rather than military service in the latest EO.  And the last ad on govbizopps was about labor camps that could be set up in 72 hours notice.  What are they going to make people do for labor?  Bust rocks?  Clean up radiation from the war they want to start?  Gather and burn bodies from the pandemic they seem to be so "nervous" about (while they were funding research to make human transmissible bird flu)?

Logical conclusion: The better way to deal with this is not street protest, anyway.  It's self sufficiency.  And then drop out, as much as possible.  One could keep one's income below the taxation level on purpose.  One could leave the country.  One could go on strike, go gulching, internal exile they call it.  If you had enough food, water and shelter, and your own utilities, you could just drop out entirely.  Prepare now.  Since Obama is so confident of "his election", just get ready to drop out.  We'll all drop out when the dollar crashes anyway.  Like in Rumpelstiltskin, there's already a hole in the floor.
