Applying this to the current situation I think that a more or less clear picture arises. The military is split in two parts, one is the military industrial complex and the other is the cannon fodder that are extremely brainwashed with maga stuff in the bottom. Some years ago the brainwashing worked because USA was the most advanced country, but this seems to be ending due to the climate change, resource depletion and the apparition of emerging powers like the brics.

So far they have managed to keep the cannon fodder fooled by blaming minorities and woke people for everything. But this will not work forever, simply because the real causes of the American decline are not those, and they will run out of minorities to blame. What will happen when this happens and the bottom military realize they have been tricked? I don't know, but it could open an opportunity like the Kornilov affair where the military change sides.

So in my opinion, considering how powerful the propaganda machine is, the only thing we can do is just wait until the whole thing comes breaking down. And try to educate all the maga bigots - especially the ones in the army - until they realize they are just poor proletariat like us. Other than that I don't know.

It is said Lenin once said that any society is only two missed meals from revolution. We are getting there.

@remenca @sjuvonen @tinker I will say that as a military brat, I think you’re vastly underestimating the massive contingent of nerds and other people who are / could be aware but need health insurance etc. Can’t evaluate the other stuff though

I have to say that as catalan living in Spain, where we have a public system that is in shambles compared to 20 years ago, I am always surprised at the situation in USA. The declining life expectancy, the bloated hospital bills, the whole mess with COVID and the masks. It is outlandish. You have my sympathy and support.
