  Meanwhile middle aged 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.

      Fighting tyranny doesn’t mean going to war with the US military.

      It can be things like black panther style community patrols. A lot of states are open carry, you could set up armed community patrols around your neighbourhood, and that would make the brownshirts a lot less likely to drop in and start abducting people.

      By your logic we should have beat the Vietnamese. In reality the guerilla forces have a tremendous advantage. You can’t force the entire population to comply.

      ICE is mostly just two dudes in a car.

      It’ll be a lot of guerilla tactics and IEDs. Iraq and Afghanistan proved exactly how well urban combat works against the US military complex.

      Then will come assassinations, hoarding, and smaller scale civil conflicts. Think resource raids and good old fashioned territorialism.

      If youll accept the analogy, the military is great at blowing up anthills, but pretty shit at finding and eliminating specific ants.

      Armed revolution has less to do with tactics and more to do with a willingness to die for something you believe in. In 2025, very, very, very few are willing to die period. After all, you just got that new Playstation/Gaming PC/3D printer for Christmas. Let alone “Pledge their honor, fortunes, and lives” for the greater good.

      In 1775, that child piccolo player might not have had a fortune, but they had honor and a life to pledge. And he quite possibly did give his life.
