polls indicate the military are just as likely to revolt against the government before they would attack civilians
Just like with police, they say this, but are deliberately never given enough information to make such a decision. They go into a briefing, where they are told simply 'we need to go get this bad guy - we hear he is armed, this is the layout of his house (from your blueprints on file with the city, remember), this is where he works, and this is when we roll out." The 'we hear he is armed' part is the worst because it forces a 'shoot first, ask questions later' mentality. In short, the guys invading may actually have allied with you had they had all information, but they never do.
Government won't use large scale weapons on its own land under most circumstances
Great; they won't use large scale weapons on Israel. How does this help us?
Remember we are occupied - it isn't 'our' government.
This. But also the last year has proven they don't need military action at all. They just roll out absurd rules and regulations and the most people do is whine about them.
Manipulated markets make it nearly impossible to achieve any kind of wealth. Taxes just tighten the screws and get used to pit us against one another. We're all cattle already.
I mean if they actually used them to blow to pieces suspected camel fuckers, they would have easily won. They just didn't exert that force. Too many rules of war now, back in the day you'd just kill and torture a bunch of your enemy and you would pacify a region for a long period of time. A huge chunk of the 'insurgent' fighting generation would have been wiped out, the ones surviving were the ones who complied
The problems are local, they're not national. They can put down a local uprising, but they can't put down all local areas uprising. Easiest thing to do is identify the toadies in your local community.
