The thing is, they don't need EVERY kid to comply. Just enough.
Give a bunch of thug-wannabe, obese teenage boys some black ninja outfits, riot gear, and an AR15 and let them loose on the streets. That’ll work out REAL well: it’ll make them stand out like sore thumbs in the “lighter” parts of town.
This shit might fly in the northeast. They start showing up on the streets of Clearwater, FL, and I know at least a few hundred rednecks who’ll show up with twice as much ammo and a few thousands yards of rope.
One of the lessons of modern history: all it takes to seize total power is a small cadre of individuals with a sense of purpose and the will to power.
Slaughter and atrocity ensue.
