Pretty good critique of the prevalent mindsets of fair weather resistors. I have been tjinking the exact same about the dont tread on me sticker boomers in their 50000 dollar trucks.. still just driving to work and home to watch the game while they lose bodily autonomy to the current authorities, quite literally being raped. I scoff and laugh at those men now. Im hanging posters up in areas every driver sees, etc but im just thinking we can do much better with a 100 willing men.
Finding willing people isn't that much of a problem - J6 showed that 100 times 100 people were perfectly fine with the idea of entering a public building, only to simply make a mess of things because they had no clue what to do once they got in.
And that's the actual problem at hand - there's no plan of action, no overall strategy or contingencies, no unambiguous endgame or peaceful plans for after the unsavory parts are done. Not that it's so surprising - American history in particular has deliberately fostered the myth of the rag-tag bunch of rebels led by Washington, taking on the far better trained and equipped British forces... even though in practice, it was the other way around, with the King's army having major supply issues, while the revolutionary army received considerable support from the French - you know, the people Americans have been raised to hate and mock ever since, maybe so as to prevent an alliance like that from happening ever again.
In light of this, before seeking out 100 or even a dozen men, first do some browsing through at least 100 books, ideally with about half of them being from the West Point required reading list. Then look for allies abroad, who'd be willing to recognize the shift of power if it ever happens. Then iron out the practicalities - supplies, contingencies, tactical and strategic assets... In short, long before the first shot is fired, you must have already won. Because that's how your enemies fight, and they also have hundreds of years of experience on their side. It's not an unwinnable battle, but if you allow yourself to think it's gonna be noble or clean or fair, that's generally how you know you'll lose before you ever see it coming.
