Fascists deserve to be shot and killed
Big hill to climb after giving them a military and government, but agreed.
Myanmar’s military regime had the best grip possible on the armed forces by basically making a separate caste to avoid having the soldiers having second thoughts about shooting at their own families.
People tend to ignore that civil war, but it’s going to be studied for centuries because of all the unique tactics that have been deployed by all sides.
like what
Tbh there’s far more happening there than I actually understand, but I know that military advisors around the world are already studying and watching the war. Here’s a pretty decent article on it
Power is where people believe it is.
No one really “controls” a military or government, at every step of the chain people can disagree. And when they do, it doesn’t always shake out the way people expect.
I was threatened with a mutinity charge in the Navy, but I stood by my position and like five people didn’t get demoted over some bullshit that wasn’t their fault.
If I’d have backed down, they’d have been fucked because they were the fall guys.
If trump tries to sic the US government on citizens or blue states, don’t expect everyone to just follow orders, even if the people at the very top do. They’re still the ones sitting at desks.
Look at South Korea, president tried to pull a coup and basically everyone told him to fuck off. Didn’t matter that he was in charge of the military and government
This is exactly right. You say no.
Or you say yes, and take your time, fuck it up, do it wrong, report that you succeeded when you did nothing, etc. Wrench in the gears.

So there is a chance!
There’s always a chance…
Up to the point of Terminator robot soldiers, then we’re fucked.
By the time we get those, we need to have our shit sorted out.
Military gets overhyped. The U.S. Armed Forces have not successfully managed to root out a guerilla force ever. It’s why they lost in Vietnam and why they keep losing in the Middle East. To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure if any modern military is actually equipped to handle a mobilized, armed revolution from their own civilians.
It’s why they lost in Vietnam
I think the main reason is that the war lost popular support back home.
I’d argue that if the Army was more effective at fighting againt guerillas, they’d have achieved victory before popular support waned.
Yeah. what was that war about again? Preventing communism?
Big problem is, if you just wait for them to be toppled, you’ll just be subjugated by the one doing the toppling.
You won’t solve the overall problems with big violent revolutions, you get it by making the oligarchs irrelevant.
