    @Vaulk You just answered your own question.

     the vast majority of the U.S. Military forces are stationed within the United States

    Do you know where the Tsars misplayed when Lenin & Co. led the terrorist overthrow that became the new government? They assumed their army would be on their side, they didn't blackmail them enough.

    You need to pass a law overnight of mandatory draft, you then need to broadcast that due to genders now being equal, this draft applies to females too. Once it begins, all who don't join are traitors and those that don't apply to a draft are too weak and powerless to do anything anyway.

    Your attempt at comparing an all out U.S. Military attack on the citizens of the U.S. to what happened during the Bolshevik Revolution falls flat and doesn't float.

    So again, where would the Front Line be?  Since all the U.S. Military Service Members would be literally surrounded by the civilian population that they'd be up against..in your experience...how would the Military establish a front line?

    @Vaulk The reason it doesn't float is that the tech and strategy of the modern US government is superior to that of their citizens by a much larger degree (almost infinitely so) than the Tsar's in comparison to that of the Communists. They can hear you through your phone, you literally won't ever succeed in making a revolution that wins, you can only start one that loses.

    I've never researched the impact of bullying.
    here's the definition I found "use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants."
    Do we currently tolerate and accept bullying?
    I would say yes, under the guise of 'protests" by the likes of antifa and those who shout down conservative speakers from venues.  Just a quick few examples.
    If we shed light on bullying the rest of the roaches would also be reviled.  It's pretty obvious why this issue remains in the dark don't you think?

    @someone234

    You still have a very skewed perception of what the Government has.  You seem to be under the impression that these "Government" folks are a self-sustaining entity that creates and hordes everything of power for themselves.  

    Let me break it down barney style here:

    1.  The reason your comparison doesn't float is because it's a bad comparison, not because of some unforeseen incalculable variable...but because you make bad comparisons and try to push them off as relevant ones in hopes that no one here will catch you doing it.

    2.  The Government/Military/Higher authority in this country does not have the power to stand up against its citizens...regardless of how highly you think of your opinion.  You should go ask a service member before you make assumptive statements about what can and can't be done in regards to oppressing U.S. citizens.  Meanwhile your lack of any real knowledge on the subject is on full display here and it's not cute.

    3.  Whatever strategy you "Think" the U.S. Government has is being substantially overrated by the way you're describing it.  I'm sure you know a guy who has an uncle who flew a plane with someone who's related to another guy with a top secret clearance that could probably beat up my Dad...but at the end of the day you've done an excellent job at convincing me that you know very little about the Government, Military or what they're capable or willing to do.  

    Now I'm sure I'm in for an earful about all of that so I'll save you the time: I'm obviously wrong because you say I am and you don't hafta explain yourself because "It goes without saying" and I'm obviously an who's just out to get you and I should as well.  Oh and throw in a few choice names and a few vulgar references too as I've seen enough of your posts to know that just about anything goes.

    They are. They do.

    Until you can explain why it's bad, you have no point at all here. I explained the similarity as well as the difference.

    The military will die in the name of their commander in chief. The commander in chief is government or citizenry by nature? Thank you for your kind input, I have talked to veterans, they told me of nightmares and inability to socialise due to PTSD, in fact I have yet to meet one who has not complained of those 2 things. :) You get bullied hard from day one of training, made to feel worthless and pathetic and never question an order, punishment or system be it hierarchy or war strategy, no matter how barbaric or you think it is.

    My concern is not to beat up your father. My concern is that your father's brain has already been beaten up as has yours by an authority you should be disgusted by entirely but are conditioned from birth to adore and indeed this applies to every single government on Earth for if they didn't, we'd realise anarchy and everyone being the police is the actual way to achieve democracy and justice.

    And what is the first thing the democrats want after a school shooting?

    (A) Gun Control
    (B) ...............

    You guessed it! A gun ban!

    What were the results after 9/11?
    Blaming Democrats for whatever results come from false flags is like blaming the left wing of a pidgeon for crapping on your shoe.

    Scientific method: noun; a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.
