I’d like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I’d like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but removed. I’ve never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I’ve been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.

I’ll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.

Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I’ve ever been a part of.

    Conventional armies fighting against each other cannot be compared to fighting against guerilla/insurgents.

    Look at the US failing to create a stable occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Look at the US failing in Vietnam. Look at Israel annihilating Gaza and committing mass slaughter, yet Hamas has the same number of fighters today, like it did in 2023.

    Of course the US army has the means to genocide all of the US population. That is until they run out of food. Of course they can terrorize the civilian population by cutting power, starving people and denying fuel, healthcare etc. That worked great for Bashar al Assad in Syria…

    Ones you have a popular uprising, the disproportionate use of force by the regime usually fuels more resistance against the regime. That is why they try to react disproportionately hard even to the earliest signs of it. Why did they make all the fuzz about Luigi? Because they are scared, that if it is not 1 Luigi but 100 Luigis, the system would be at serious danger and with 1,000 Luigis it could collapse already, because no Oligarch would feel safe anymore. And 1,000 Luigis in a country with 340 million people is not that much.

      You didn’t mention guerilla warfare in your other comment, you said the US isn’t that much more militarized than anyone else, and that there isn’t much disparity between small and large weapons.

      Could America sustain a resistance similar to The Troubles? I think so. But any sort of conventional warfare, like along the lines of the Russian or Spanish civil war, is quite unlikely, which is what I thought you were implying.
