Well, they did think they could get their slaves to fight for them in the Civil War at one point, that didn't go great.

But they're so bad at following orders, not rebelling, not being bribed, and not being killed that you'd be paying through the teeth just to invent new problems for yourself.

That sort of thing sounds cool in a story but thats not how human psychology works.

What I'm saying is that it would happen so often that there wouldn't be any commissars left.

Soldiers are by definition not unwilling to fight back. The reason 40k style commissars are silly is because no one who wouldnt stab them to death immediately or shoot them in the back would make a good soldier.

You can dominate large groups of people unwilling to fight back with an incredibly small number of armed men.

Third world militaries would not even be worth the cost of transporting them.

You're just shifting the goalposts, I specifically commented on rogue authorities engaging in violent offensive action towards the citizen, and you've tried to turn it around into the citizen going on the attack against the rogue authorities. So no, defending your home is not necessarily...

That is called being a responsible adult. Of course every man should be expected to be prepared to kill in the defense of himself and his family, that is the bare minimum, not something lofty for only a few to achieve.

The time to make such preparations is before they are needed, so that there is no lag between when the threat is perceived and when the threat is resisted.

While Virginia has, thusfar, been a beautiful and historic example of Law enforcement cooperating with the common man for the preservation of rights that, if maintained, will doubtless go far in repairing said relationship, it is the unfortunate reality that past experiences have shown that at...

In any atmosphere of chaotic political violence I would expect to see in-fighting across the board, from ideological struggles to power grabs.

Farmers want profits, cities need food. A besieged, cut off american city would be a charnel house the likes of which you cant imagine. But I don't think that scenario is likely. I wouldnt be surprised if there were a few more Wacos or Ruby Ridges over the next couple of decades, but in...

It would be a mistake to think of it in terms of previous civil conflicts, which I understand is not helpful, but is the ultimate reality. If any mass civil violence occurs in america, there would not so much be battle lines or clear cut conflicted regions as "bursts" of violence spread out...

There is no metric I am aware of by which the first value can be numerically measured, but the second is generally understood as a belief in the underlying philosophy and sovereignty of your nation and the participation in it's continuity. Ideally, a citizen would contribute physically to the...

Broad cultural similarity, and patriotism. If you possess those things, you're essentially a member of the nation.

American blacks were on the economic and social upswing following the civil war, getting further, faster, than anyone could have expected, until we let the democrats subjugate them again.

They screech about "concentration camps" and cheer when someone talks about bombing the whitehouse. The Dems absolutely started with the apocalyptic "all our enemies must die" rhetoric, they're just massive pussies. Really, at the end of the day, thats the best part. All these pinko...

Even worse, as "crazy SJWs" are a tiny percent of the population as it is, and then you have to assume most of them are going to be too cowardly to do any fighting, meaning you're going to be "outnumbering" exactly two things.

You have this image in your head of dark skinned human waves washing over the countryside, but you keep forgetting that is just not how combat works. The numbers mean virtually nothing in that kind of situation, just more dead meat.
