OK, I can buy into that.
But I have seen posts here bragging about how no cop would violate the poster’s rights without paying a price. And lots of bloviating about individual armed resistance.
A widespread revolution by armed American citizens against an oppressive government might succeed. Stress might.
But armed resistance by individuals or small groups is just suicide by cop. See Ruby Ridge and Waco.
I agree that at some point such resistance becomes morally defensible and arguably even necessary. But those engaging in it should not deceive themselves about the consequences.
I wish my father were still here, been gone 10 years. A 3 war Marine with knowledge of the principles of guerrilla warfare/resistance. I'd like to get his perspective on things here now.
I'm thinking, and this is simple opinion only as I have no claim to special knowledge of this area, that in a country like the US, as large and geographically diverse as it is, that a "revolution" or something of that order would take the form of covert resistance. Sabotage, hit & run, tactics of that nature. Death by a thousand pinpricks. Wouldn't have to be big stuff, just a lot and spread out. Like chasing horseflies. The occupying forces can never keep up with it.
I sincerely hope things never get to that stage. OTOH, the left never stops at a certain point. They never get enough. They only stop taking liberties when they are stopped.
