I really don’t think they could ever organize meaningfuly resistance, armed or otherwise. It just doesn’t exist in their universe. The system is too holy, the US military is too invincible, it’d all be too uncivil.
I think a lot of people would rather believe the government wouldn’t kill them than acknowledge the fact that their government would kill them if they had a reason to.
it did bring energy and purpose to the left last time around. there was an unreported clash between the fash and antifa in my city where a force 1/5 the size of the fash (maybe 1/10) managed to corral and ultimately route the fash with nothing but shields while occupying the police in a wild goose chase. that kind of thing just doesn’t happen any more. rallies with thousands of people in all black and prepared to throw down were routine until Biden took office. part of it was a successful discreditation of the leaders of those rallies by more liberal factions, but the air seriously got sucked out of the room. so I don’t really care about the libs ability to organize – we kind of went on ice and we’re only just starting to thaw because of Palestine.
the next round of clashes will be much more severe and we will absolutely need to iterate and improve on the tactics we learned last time. my dearest hope is that we can build a real org this time to preserve the momentum.
