LOL. We have a stolen government imprisoning it's political opponents on false charges and no one is "resisting."

No one is going to resist squat because there is no political movement sufficiently organized to arrange any effective resistance. Individual acts of resistance will simply be crushed a will any attempt to organize an effective resistance.

We had better hope that Trump wins before the US is completely transformed into a one-party banana republic.

How many people refused the vaccine, despite all the pressure put on them to take it?

Not all resistance has to involve taking up arms and forming into squadrons to fight people.

Draft Evasion in the Vietnam War

More than half of the 27 million men eligible for the draft during the Vietnam War were deferred, exempted or disqualified.

The head of U.S. President Richard Nixon's task force on the all-volunteer military reported in 1970 that the number of resisters was "expanding at an alarming rate" and that the government was "almost powerless to apprehend and prosecute them". It is now known that, during the Vietnam era, approximately 570,000 young men were classified as draft offenders, and approximately 210,000 were formally accused of draft violations; however, only 8,750 were convicted and only 3,250 were jailed Some draft eligible men publicly burned their draft cards, but the Justice Department brought charges against only 50, of whom 40 were convicted.

So, just spitballin' here: but do you think that number / percent that don't view the Government as legitimate and aren't willing to turn themselves over to the U.S. Military for conscripted service in a big-ass war with Russia over the Biden's private corruption outlet - would be BIGGER or SMALLER than the percent that evaded the draft in the early 1970s, before it was abolished.

Because I'm pretty sure the NEW anti-draft movement will DWARF the one that they shut down in 1973.Remember: it was only shut down by ending the draft in 1973.

Where I'm from we call that "capitulation", which is fancy word for "losing the argument" over whether FedGov can make people fight for it.

The Deep State doesn’t care about individual resistance. They simply murder an old guy once in a while to keep the proles in line.

But as soon as any opposition group attempts to form up the govt is on it immediately to destroy it. Like the Proud Boys. Only groups useful to the State, like BLM or Antifa are allowed to organize. Then they are protected from prosecution.

Exactly right. The military analysis is secondary to the political analysis.

Using lawfare against your political opponent, imprisoning J6 people, going after Catholics, arresting anti-abortion protestors, labeling a hate crime any bad words said to trannies, harassing parents at school board meetings, killing Craig Robertson in Provo, Utah — the totality of all that is meant to do one thing and one thing only — tell us that we no longer have representative government responsive to the people. The Deep State controls all; dare go against the DS and you will be squashed like a bug.

Organizing mass resistance against that is almost impossible with today’s massive surveillance state.
