Yeah. I feel like the concept of America is just completely manufactured. Personified by the ignorant blowhards who LARP as heros but only fight when backed by the MIC (hold technological superiority against an inferior force), the Christian taliban who hate jesus and everything he stood for, and the oligarchs who got rich off the backs of immigrants; responsible for the populations mental illness epidemic.

It's quite obvious that the average American will roll over and let the Stalin, Putin, Mao, Xi or Hitler force them into absolute supplication before they bother with the minor inconvenience of protest or strikes, while being stupid enough to believe they represent freedom and justice. The only people willing to oppose the psychopaths are too liberalised to accept that they won't be stopped without violence, or too fragmented to provide meaningful resistance. A massive general strike would work, but that would require more cooperation and discipline than Americans have ever displayed, and the mental illness is too strong.

I hope I'm wrong.

cheering on what's happening, so they won't fight against it.

Don't you think this cheering has already lost some of it's volume?

The US founding fathers were vehemently against a standing army, because it could be used for exactly this very thing: seizing control from cities and states. That's why they only wanted militias.

You're wrong about the founders not understanding identity politics; I recommend you read through George Washington's farewell address. It's is lengthy, for sure, but it explicitly warns Americans about the danger of unchecked fealty to a political party and the promulgation of a politics of identity versus national interest and unity.

The founders knew our democracy would be repeatedly tested by enemies foreign and domestic (almost like they included that in the Constitution for a reason) they simply hoped we would be educated enough to see when we're being manipulated, and faithful enough to the country's ideals to defend it. We'll see if they're right.

Your second paragraph was considered a feature in the context of the time

As if an organised military of any kind has any hope of winning a guerrilla war in one of the largest, most populous, and most heavily armed countries on earth.

The ability of the American people to defeat the American army in a revolution is solely dependent on their willingness to take casualties. It's been shown time and again that a massively superior army like the US really isn't able to deal with a war where enemy combatants are also the civilian population. An exception is Israel in Gaza, where they've decided to just level everything to the ground, and massacre the civilians.

American soldiers surely wouldn't turn against their own civilian compatriots en masse, right? 😔
