It has taken too long, much too long, but a citizens resistance is coming. Some of actually realize the system is broken beyond repair and cannot count on leadership to do anything.
But it’s going to be long and sloppy. A lot of good people are going to lose their lives standing up to the world’s biggest military on home soil.
Making it seem so complicated is part of the calculated effort to reduce resistance. I invite folks to study how domestic resistance to the US invasion of Vietnam helped end US involvement.
I know it wasn’t bloodless but a good solid first step is not feeding your (collective your) babies to the war machine and making involvement in the military industrial complex an unforgivable social sin.
Whenever i encounter the “we cant revolt, theyll shoot us” argument from americans i always think to myself “so youd rather they shoot someone else in a different country then? Right”
Its clear subconsciously at least they think theyre superior and value their own lives above other nation’s peoples.
Literally just be mean to a military recruiter. Hell just point and laugh or roll your eyes. Pull your kids from cadets. Shun ROTC participants. Refuse sponsorships from military contractors. Don’t take internships at them. Tell them they can’t have a float at your local parade.
All this talk about revolt and it doesn’t really feel like most folks have even considered how impactful being mildly annoying can be.

They have to think about their families all the time.
Obviously an US american family is worth more than the world!
