I thought it was a quite outrageous proposal.

This I think is crucial. Even those who have either been supportive or neutral regarding URCM "moderation" until now have started coming out against it (or at least against what Jackson is trying to do). I really get the feeling that the balance has now tipped, that people are irretrievably fed up with Jackson's stifling oppression, and that he can't possibly come back from this as a plausible and respected leader, even if he suddenly starts atoning and backpedalling (which of course he won't do, even remotely, on or off the roads, because that would be a sign of weakness).
