To us harbingers of the approaching misery, every action taken by the establishment breeds ever greater thoughts of doom, but to many normies (read: those without critical thinking skills) there is either no issue at hand, or the blatant negatives are a positive. Their ride will hit the brick wall, eventually, and they'll swear they didn't see it coming, but that's not the subject of today's anemic circlejerk of a rant.
No, the current issue at hand is a seemingly innocuous and overexposed event that serves as the cherry on top of the increasingly shitty sundae that is the modern US military. An event that has too many normies shouting "Yas, Queen Slay!" to every bint in a camouflage uniform, and other such idiotic vernacular.
Of course, I'm referring to the disturbingly nigh-universal servicewide pushback against Tucker Carlson's recent calls against pregnant women in the armed forces.
Totally controversial opinion: "Clapbacks" (ugh) should never be performed while in uniform.
So controversial, in fact, that in more reasonable times, painting your service in a negative light by publicly disparaging a civilian, really anyone, while in uniform was a punishable offense.
Now? You have Generals liking tweets from commands doing as such.
THAT'S A RED FLAG!!!
Let me be clear: the US Military is, by design, an apolitical institution. It ostensibly serves as the spear and shield of the American nation. It effectively serves as the enforcement arm of the American Government's will abroad, but does so without blatant favoritism towards whichever uniparty rep is seemingly in charge that day.
Once their public policy of political neutrality goes out the window -- regardless of how they're leaning, but of course it's Leftism because 20-fucking-21 -- all bets are off. It's clear where the wind is blowing, and it does not favor the greater US populace.
The military gets political, it's more likely to make an enemy out of those it deems antithetical to its politics, and since Leftism is opposed by millions of John and Jane Americans, well...
Let's just say I have little faith that there will be any pushback within the service when the 2025 food riots are met with lethal force.
Everyone always says the rank and file will defect to the righteous citizens.
I have zero confidence in this.
I had confidence in this. Had.
The Marxists have done an excellent job of instilling their poisonous ideology within our military, indoctrinating the willing, and alienating the brave.
There was a time where the ideological split within the various branches averaged out to somewhere around 70/30, right/left.
Doubtful that will be the standard going forward; doubtful that will be allowed, going forward.
There is "hope" in the veterans meeting the call to arms should the military turn on the citizenry.
Regardless, I know see a greater likelihood of roaming death squads of Lefty uniforms 'oppressing the "oppressors"'.
Subject or guerilla, those are your choices.
Hey, it's just the long march through the institutions.
They said that about the police and gun confiscation too. If anyone thinks that after watching police arrest people for sitting on the beach last year, they're irredeemably naive.
Most of the war games/simulations estimate only 30-50% would defect if the military turned against the citizens. Now, those numbers are pulled entirely from the asses of the simulation creators, but given that's what they're PREPPING for, it's probably somewhat accurate.
As do I.
Welcome to Dark Age 2.
Nobles in castle fortresses surrounded by slaves and dispatch fully armored knights who roam the countryside taking what they want at the point of a blade towards the average man who cannot afford arms and can barely eat enough food to stave off malnutrition let alone organize a physical resistance.
Only it's going to be worse, because technology: both inescapable surveillance and merciless logistics make it possible to rule the globe from a few ivory towers. Someone is triggering the AI's recognition that someone's gait has changed which might indicate they're trying to get in shape and fighting force? Dispatch a squad of armed soldiers to any corner of the planet within 20 minutes and take them out. Government media will take care of the rest: "domestic terrorist", "child porn collector", "believes in chromosomes."
Knights were bad motherfuckers who trained their entire lives for war. This lot would not have the social respect or martial prowess to achieve these things. They'd probably get ambushed by angry villagers with machetes and pitchforks eventually.
Only this time, it looks more like "overfeed them like Victorian zoo animals so they become fat, lazy and complacent, and oh, now we're training them to pick from a menu and assemble their meals themselves, if they don't want to just order slop three times a day. If they become upset, what're they going to do, wheeze at us over the internet?"
The Guam National Guard visited a sitting Congresswoman in uniform today to say "hello". I wish Trump had done something like this at some point in his Presidency.
The fact that they brought in the Guam National Guard reminds me of the CCP bringing in middle-of-nowhere-PLA to crush the Tiananmen Square protest when the Beijing PLA units refused to fire on their fellow citizens.
As much as the CCP likes to tout "One China," the different provinces don't really like each other all that much.
Kinda like all the US territories (or even the states that aren't part of the Contiguous 48, for that matter).
This shit right here is so worrying and nobody seems to realize it outside of a handful of conservative pundits, paired with them purging right wingers from the military, this shit is scary.
Did you not already know we're fucked?
I'm a fairly frequent poster on here; that's a guarantee I know how fucked we all are.
However, I posted this for any of the holdouts who still think there's any major institution that hasn't been co-opted by our ideological opponents.
Succinct and accurate.
An ideologically charged military, whilst good at keeping control, doesn't tend to be the best at fighting. Look at what happened to the Red Army in the opening moves of Barbarossa.
Silver linings and whatnot.
Jesus, I've seen this unfold somewhere before. Now I'm actually excited at the prospect of a watchable TV program.
I agree with the overall point you are making about compartmentalization and applying pressure. But in the details you miss a key point. 3d printing has made huge strides and that means that disarming the population just wont be possible.
Edit: Idk about ammo though, that might be easier to restrict.
Wont work either, because 3d printers can print more 3d printers! There are in fact projects that aim to do that.
Cat's out of the bag on ammo the past year from what i've seen/heard, people are stocking up because the dems refused to let police do their jobs.
Except the woke princes giving orders will also give orders to severely punish E-4s who don't fall in line. So they will.
