    There’s a violent white supremacist group that claims only 3% of the population rising up resulted in the successful American revolution.

    42 Million people are on the brink of starvation, by their government, at the behest of capital and the government isn’t even trying to hide it. Seems like greater than 3% of the US population…

      Why do you think they are moving top figures onto military bases? They are creating riot situations.

      Of course, this would work better if they also paid the military…

        I wonder if they genuinely think they could put down unrest at that scale.

        I just don’t think they have the numbers or actual will for it.

        Even if you aren’t directly affected by this stuff you know people who are. It was one thing when they created a reality without facts for their followers, but it seems like they’ve eaten their own tail on this and now genuinely believe the reality they’ve made up.

          Unpaid military aren’t going to be super stoked about putting down mass unrest at the behest of an administration that 65% of the populace is against, I would imagine
