Honestly the police are the real problem. They're never part of the local community in any real sense, they've been too brainwashed into an us vs them mentality.
Which means that every single American is effectively living in 'occupied' territory and they can't even depend on their communities banding together to fend off attacks. They'll simply be stabbed in the back by their own cop neighbors.
In a sane country, local police would've majorly curbed ICE's activities simply because they were foreign agents messing around in 'their' city. Instead we've seen time and time again that when it matters, police will always side with our oppressors regardless of the legality or morality of it.
Which is why it seems so hopeless to many of us. How can we fight an entire government, military AND every single cop all at once?
Yeah and that’s without even dealing with the national guard or actual Feds if serious uncontrolled riots break out
America is one of the most locked down countries on earth with widespread state sanctioned violence
When the EU is 50 countries big with half like Hungary and each gets an actively violent and murderous police army they can start lecturing Americans about violent protests
Yeah, many people do not realize what we are up against. There is a GIANT imbalance of violent power. Any violent resistance would be lone wolves, or small groups that may not be able to coordinate. Most people who give a fuck about everyone’s future will be shot, blown up, or jailed. Everyone else will feel bad, yet go along to get along. They will value their family’s comfort above everyone else’s. They probably won’t consider past grandchildren. They will consider their time overlapping their children’s and grandchildren’s lives, but no further. Their foresight is short, and selfish.
