If I remember my history correctly, a major point of the gas chambers was that the prisoners were convinced that they had been sent to a labour camp, and were sent into the chambers to shower. By convincing people that they weren't in immediate life threatening danger, it was much easier to control them.

Of course, nobody could even imagine the absolute horror of the Holocaust. If you told me that someone would take hundreds of thousands (millions) of fit, working age people and simply wipe them out, I would have a much easier time believing the other guy that said "no, you're being sent to take a shower before being placed in a labour camp. Life will be hard, but obviously we wouldn't waste resources just killing everyone on the spot."

So just don't do anything, and hope your slaveowner will be nice? Got it. He won't, and a lot of people will die because you don't give enough of a shit.

That's a good point

This again.
bring themselves to check a box for genociders.

LOL "wait it out"

What a bunch of pathetic weaklings.
Where's your american heroes patriot biggest fighter for freedom stand up for what we believe in greatest country democracy in the universe talk now?

vote harder!

There was no box with a non-genocide collaborator.

and with such vast power and influence… name the victories the US has had verses an insurgency on their own turf?

and that’s considering untouchable industrial military complex, logistics pipeline, more numerous, better trained, and armed forces, unlimited money, and no real push back from the american populous.

if one appeared within the US… it would be absolutely devastating to the military

name the victories the US has had verses an insurgency on their own turf?

None. Because they have only been tried once and failed because the odds were even. But now…

The military can send missiles to any point on the globe with an accuracy of centimeters without losing a man.

If you think the armed civilian populace of America can stand up to the full weight of the military Bering down on them…. I wish you good luck. But we both know how much all the internet bravado only looks good in writing.

Looks like you ended up with all that genocide but now with a side of LGBTQ+ persecution, illegal deportations, and concentration camps!

How’s all that winning feeling bud?

When the resistance in territories occupied by nazi germany and imperial japan killed a high ranking official of the occupying force, the occupiers would round up innocent people and shoot to kill them on the streets. "Reprisals" is what it's called. But do you think the resistance should've given up? Surrender to nazi germany and imperial japan just to avoid the "reprisals"? No, because if they had done that, the whole world would be speaking german and japanese.

since the 1770’s i know of two wars the US has won against an insurgency.

the US has been in a LOT of wars though.
and one of the things they learned was that bombs were not very effective, and the us would have a much worse time off it bombing their own cities. A-wall’s and desertions would go through the roof, they would be out gunned a thousand to one, with literally more guns then people. Isfulstructure they would rely on is vulnerable from every angle, the government would be prisoners in their own bunkers.

it would be devestating if the us has an insurgency

LOL “pathetic weaklings”

What wouldn’t you suggest they do? And keep in mind, your suggestion needs to include something you yourself are willing to do.

Because it seems so easy for so many to send tens of thousands of people to their deaths. Put up or shut up.

And for the record, blind ignorance fuels blanket accusations. Never in my entire life have I ever said american’s are heroes, patriots, the biggest fighters for freedom. The last time I stood for anything American was the pledge when I was in gradeshool.

So you’re free to take your shit and shove it right back to where you found it.

This again.

As I said on the other comment you said the same thing on:

Looks like you ended up with all that genocide but now with a side of LGBTQ+ persecution, illegal deportations, and concentration camps!

How’s all that winning feeling bud?

I'm European, seeing you go down is winning

I'm not american, I don't need to do shit, on the contrary.
I love watching Trump fuck up your cancer country.

America didn't win in Afghanistan, and you think it would win a war if the military was forced to turn their guns on friends and family?

Words look so cool when strung together to make a rallying statement of intent to act, don’t they.

But you all seem to always fall short of action.

There was supposed to be an uprising in November, December, January, February, March, shall I go on?

You all are so quick to climb over one another to be the first to pat yourselves on the back for typing up the coolest words to inspire OTHERS to act. You all salivate at the idea of bringing all types of violence to Nazis, the upper classes, the CEOs… yet, nothing. Words.

Here I’m only speaking the truth. I’ll make no apologies that you don’t like it or that it’s unpopular. Im too old and too tired of pretending to believe that any of you have the strength of conviction to leave your houses let alone begin a grassroots movement to make change. So forgive me for not buying into this make believe army of yours.

For fuck’s sake. Tend of thousands of you couldn’t be bothered to tick a fucking box to save democracy.

Now you’re wanting everyone to believe you’re willing to lay down your life for it? Pretend all you want bud. But don’t get mad when people call you out.

Fucking LOL.

Yes. I absolutely do. There’s a reason Trump fired military commanders.

To be fair some did try but there was surprisingly little resistance

I mean, you can see this to some degree in cities like LA or Chicago or even Houston. Collective resistance efforts happen. You can - and people occasionally do - throw rocks or fire guns or even just fling their sandwiches at the occupying paramilitary.

But much like with the occupation of Iraq or Afghanistan or the capture of Syria or the bombings in Yemen or the invasion of Ukraine or the militarization of far-right governments in Guatamala and El Salvador and Honduras and Argentina, the state can bring a lot more violence against a nascent resistance movement than the movement can repel.

Without an active armed ally - like the French during the American Revolution or the Soviets in Vietnam - a government with the benefit of mass surveillance and air power and armored infantry is very difficult to dislodge.

Just look at Cuba, a country that's been suffering the armed occupation of Guantanamo Bay for 60 years. Or Gaza, for that matter.
