I read a lot on these forums about rebellion.
"If _____ happens, there will be a rebellion / civil war."
Then I go for a walk outside and look around at my community. I might overhear what they are discussing. Or they might talk to me a while.
These people are not going to rebel against jack. The sky could be falling around their heads and they would still seek out their assorted media distractions. 99.99% of the population is completely mind controlled by the media. Most are brainwashed by the left wing mainstream media and the rest are told what to think by the right wing media.
Well, I might see some athletically fit people jogging around, doing push-ups, going to the range or shooting guns. But I'll bet 9/10 of this demographic have an income completely dependent on the Federal, State or Local Government either as an active employee or as a government pension. They aren't going to "rebel" against the teat they are sucking at, and will probably take up arms to protect their source of income. What about Veterans you say? Well, most combat vets with actual combat experience have committed suicide. I assume another large portion are permanently hospitalized. Then the majority of able-bodied veterans would support the government and whatever regime ruled the government.
Then if I go to a park or government office building, outside of it I see camped the "professional homeless protesters". Well, they've been protesting for about 10 years now or longer and I have yet to see any of them actually do anything except wave a sign or lie down dirty in the middle of the sidewalk. So I don't see any "rebel" recruits there.
Add to all this the fact that 35% of the population is obese and can't even run to catch a bus much less hump a 80 pound ruck through harsh terrain. 100 million adult Americans (over half) have diabetes or prediabetes. 9.4% have full-blown diabetes. Most the kids today have asthma or some other BS or whatever but one thing is for sure they are not able to be combat ready in 8-12 weeks, lol.
Am I missing something? I see a lot of people expecting a rebellion or civil war, but what demographic group are the participants going to actually come from? Who actually is going to participate in some kind of rebellion / civil war?
No ... there will be no mass armed resistance of any kind against anything. At least not on any scale beyond an individual or pair here or there going crazy and targeting innocent civilians.
