    Meanwhile middle aged US veterans armed to the teeth won’t lift a finger to fight tyranny because they might lose their shitty jobs that they hate.

      Explain to me in detail how you see ‘armed revolution’ playing out in 2025.

      Most local police departments have armored vehicles that can handle rifle fire.

      The 0.01% can hole up in Switzerland or bunkers while their mercenaries handle the rough work.

      And please don’t bring up Vietnam or Afghanistan. The US today is nothing like either of those places.

        By your logic we should have beat the Vietnamese. In reality, the guerilla forces have a tremendous advantage. We only need numbers and organization. You can’t force the entire population to comply.

          So, the people who couldn’t organize to get Bernie past the DNC are going to be able to put together an actual army?
