I especially hate it when people use this as an excuse for their militia larp. Often times I see reactionaries or even leftist try to invoke the Viet Cong as to why civil war in the imperial heartland would be so easy. Like no half you people would just die on the first month to fucking disease you caught while hiding in the hills. That’s also implying american drones didn’t already take you out.
Civil War ain’t gonna be easy y’all, plenty of Vietnamese comrades died fighting against the American Empire, and they had entire military infrastructure and experience fighting foreign invaders. This is also removing the all the new information tech the military has. Militism requires more than just a bunch of dudes with AKs, we’ll need to consider the fact that we’re in the core of the empire and we’ll face the full might of it here.
