Times have changed since then though. Modern public infrastructure is a lot better suited for troop movements compared to the 1700s and 1800s when there was plenty of revolutions occurring across Europe. People seem to have this idea that they’re going to take out their guns and start guerrilla warfaring massive groups of armed troops.
I do believe we need to be more aggressive, more proactive, but there is a good chance that it might be expected. It’s entirely possible that they’re just waiting for an excuse to start gunning people down in the streets.
Right now the soldiers and ice feel invulnerable, untouchable. Imagine being a foot soldier in an area where most folks now want you dead. Doesn’t matter if its crappy hunting rifles shooting at you, they will kill you, they demoralize you. All of a sudden your brothers and sisters want you dead and you’re not quite sure what you’re even doing there. Worse, maybe you’re not onboard with all of the stupid shit Trump and his ilk are doing, maybe you decide you’re actually with the civilians.
No question though, so much death is on the way, but the fight is worth it for our children and future.
a qoute from ff13, when lightning was discussing wether to destroy a FAL’CIE that can make food/supplies out of thin air. and “she said hungry people are an angry people.” by destroying the very thing that feeds people will cause the people to start persecuting “l’cie people” and demand thier executions.(of course this was all engineered by the fal’cie as a contigency)
Actually starving people out is a great way to get them to revolt.
Literally the actual thing that lit off the French Revolution. It wasn’t just the taxes. It wasn’t the bad labor practices. It wasn’t the decadence of the rich. It was women marching to the palace because so many couldn’t afford bread.
