A lot of people I've seen online are acting like this is them trying to erase it completely. If they wanted to they wouldn't just change a website. I'm not saying that they won't, just that this is more about the suppression of information and that people should probably look this kinda shit up before it's gone. Get yourself a copy of the constitution in one of those neat little books your teachers always had if need be.

All I'm saying is that people are acting like changing a website changes the laws of the US. And I think that we should all brush up on our rights before the resources online become unreliable. That way when they try and break the law you can say it loudly that what they are doing is illegal and call them out in front of everyone. The justice system has always been notorious for punishing those that don't know their rights. It's why they literally had to force cops to tell you your rights when they arrest you, which they are currently not doing. Protect yourself because nobody in the system will have your interests in mind.

It truly truly truly is not far off. We are headed there.

The US needs to divorce itself. Cut off the cancer and wall it off.

Y’all need to be smart about this.

That boat sailed in the November 2024 election. Now it is all about prepping, planning and survival.

Organization is far more important. If the real shit pops off there will be plenty of ammo and guns laying on the ground. Logistics, secure communication, and strong, decentralized organization is vastly more important, and also what is lacking. If there was a real resistance, that's what they would be doing right now.

If you've got a gun you've always got at least one shot in it (throwing the gun at the target)!

Time to check out a history book or two. With that attitude, US would still be a colony of Britain. Or the US would've won in Vietnam instead of getting kicked out by the locals. Granted, it is a bit different without an ocean in between, but it could still happen. Or we could break up like what happened to the USSR.

Yeah, that's why there's no more Taliban. Or ISIS. Or Hamas. Or ...

The purpose of an armed resistance isn't a direct confrontation with an armed force. It's the death of a thousand logistical cuts. It's bleeding the country's economy dry by disrupting the commerce required to keep daily life running smoothly and crippling the regime's forces by making people afraid to sign up - one way or another. Whether that's neighborhoods chasing ICE out or people finding out where cops and soldiers live and "paying them a visit" in the dead of night. An armed resistance's goal is to simply be too big of a thorn to ignore but too entrenched and evasive to be worth the amount of money and effort it would take to catch them. Even just their existence in the media is a form of warfare. By simply being in the news they show a population that the regime can be resisted, even by just a bunch of people with guns.

Look at Napoleon's war in Russia in 1812 and his massive losses due to poor supply lines, disease, and the Russians scorched earth policy ahead of the fierce Russian winter. Or to the American Revolution, where a bunch of farmers with guns and the financial backing of France became such a thorn in the side of the British Empire that they became one of the most powerful and obnoxious countries of the past two centuries and are the subject that started this whole conversation.

You can turn your guns on the entire country's population, but then what? You're going to have a hard time keeping troops loyal when it's their friends and family on the other side of the gun, and terrorizing the population like that will make it impossible to keep the propaganda machine going. You'd be forced to rule through direct oppression, which would breed more resentment and more people willing to pick up a gun and fight back. Your only hope is to convince the discontent population that opposition is pointless and the true believers that you are right.

Vietnam

Same way people with guns stood against us for like 20 years.

Why don't you ask those guys in Vietnam about that? Or Afghanistan, for that matter.

The largest armed forces had hospitals been very bad with dealing with insurgency. It can crush a national military in days. An armed populace is just a quagmire it has little ability to deal with

finally, someone who gets it.

wow almost as if the very obvious story about authoritarianism accurately described authoritarianism. who could have known?

Most americans think any country outside america is like going back in time 100 years, so they are proud of the dumbest shit.

Hábeas Corpus is the song from The Lion King right? /s

Bold of you to assume this could be over in your lifetime.

It never ends.
