During Sporty Time, one can reasonably expect that the cops and/or soldiery will join up with the side of Righteousness and refuse to shoot their fellow Americans at the behest of an illegitimate, tyrannical government, right?
Right?!?
Yeah, about all that.
As if. The civilians who were threatened with force, or subjected to force, by American troops would like to have a word:
- 1791: The Whiskey Rebellion
- 1863: The New York City Draft Riots
- 1877: Great Railroad Strike in 1877
- 1932: The Bonus Army
- 1957: Desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas
- 1962: Desegregation of the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi
- 1963: Desegregation of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
- 1965 March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama
- 1967 Detroit Riots
- 1967: Newark Riots
- 1968 King assassination riots in Chicago, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
- 1970 New York City Postal Strike in 1970
- 1980 Cuban Refugee Crisis
- 1989 Hurricane Hugo
- 1992: Los Angeles Riots
- 1993: Branch Davidians in Waco
As long a list as that is, DM still left off a few, to include Kent State in 1970 (“four dead in Ohio,” as sung/groaned by execrable über-shitlib Neal Dung) and the 5-0 bombing and burning of the MOVE HQ in Philly in 1985 which destroyed a city block entire, among others.
Update! DM commenter Big Ruckus D nails down the grim, gruesome reality.
And note that presently there’s all this talk of the invaders being tapped as new troops in exchange for citizenship. I maintain they don’t even need to recruit those, as there are plenty of bonafide Americans already serving who will obey an order to fire on other American civilians, and I suspect there are many who will do so with a certain amount of relish. The idea that wouldn’t happen is a pipe dream, and flies in the face of observable human nature. The only rights anyone truly has are the ones they are willing to kill a motherfucker who is infringing on them over. Everything else is mere words on paper and mental masturbation to guard against acknowledging unpleasant realities.
Pretty much, yeah. Tonight’s Eyrie outing, to be posted in a short (so it is written, so it shall be done), touches on this, if somewhat obliquely.

As noted at Divemedic’s site, while they may fire, I don’t think you can count on universally expecting Joe Average to roll over and take it up the ass in perpetuity.
Those situations were lightly- or disarmed populaces, who supported TPTB to about 99.5%.
Start shooting Normies, and those conditions go out the window, and it’s Beirut x Bosnia in about an hour, nationwide.
The active military, let alone the Notional Guard, has no capability to operate beyond about lunchtime tomorrow if and when the entire U.S. becomes the Red Zone. Think about what happens when red-pilled Normies start dragging military dependent families out of their off-base housing and shooting them in the heads, or just holding them hostage. “Hey, G.I. Joe, for every shell or bomb that drops on our town, we shoot another one of your kids. While your wife watches. Or, you can stand down, and leave the base barefoot in your underpants. Your move.”
The DotMil’s cohesion, and actual functional survival time at that point, is measured in days, and no small number of them are liable to point their weapons at their commanders and join the insurgency, rather than die in place.
Discuss.
Please show all work.
Agree with Aesop, but I am not showing my work 🙂
I suspect, cannot prove, that the vast majority of Southern* born service members will very shortly say fuck this shit and turn on their superiors and their “comrades” that are not.
The examples given are small scale and there is, IMO, no way to compare that with a national level show of force when the other side starts shooting back.
Possibly I’m too optimistic, but it’s based on knowing some of our finest, the ones that served to serve Americans. What is the current ratio of that type to the other type, that is the question I have.
*this is probably true of all America, but I didn’t grow up with the rest of you, so I don’t know what is inside. I know many Southerners that served and I can’t think of any that would fire on their neighbor once it’s understood their neighbor is on the right side. I don’t think it’s even close for the vast majority.
