Not making any threats here, just thinking out loud as a historian — do they people brazenly pushing for impunity for the wealthy elites not know what traditionally comes next?
the combination of Ohio, Chevron, and Jarkesy is to tell the extraordinarily rich “there’s no one who can hold you accountable for anything if you can afford a lawsuit”
History is full of militaries breaking for one faction or another (or themselves alone!) all the time, often to the fatal surprise of one faction or another.
Anyone who is certain how it would go is a fool.
Naw these people became rich because they're smart. They clearly know how to make keep their subordinates loyal & will have the military on their side in any conflicts
They’re MONEY smart, not necessarily real world smart. And money has a habit of insulating them from the real world. You have to work to keep connected.
Oh you mean to cosplaying bullies too scared to actually go into the line of fire.
The cops ain’t gonna be a factor if shit goes that far south. Only the regular military will matter and sheepdog/sheep nonsense isn’t taught as much there.
The Us has been very effective at creating a Spartan military and police and the Spartans were oligarchy owned and controlled. Very good at massacring the helots and terrible at winning wars in the late period.
Which is hilarious given the historical utility of trying to get highly-militarized police forces from not killing you and taking your stuff in exchange for the pieces of paper that you yourself have rendered inadequate to feed a family.
