January 6th revealed a terminal naïveté of US civil society that we can ordinarily only speculate about. The absolute child’s understanding required to believe power works like a game of Duck Duck Goose. You have the CHUDs, ultrapatriotic nerds with constitution wallpapers in their living rooms marching into the Capitol to wrestle power back from the ‘deep state cabal’ only to discover it is just a fucking building. Then you have their mirror image in the Liberals. Multitudes who agree with the premise that they’re playing a game of Duck Duck Goose and that they almost lost. A deep rooted naïveté, not just among Internet cranks, but among high echelons of the punditry.
It’s true and kinda gives me hope during an eventual conflict scenario with chuds. Like think about the GWOT, Jan 6, hell even these new wars. American high command DO NOT HAVE A PLAN. They just don’t, they enter conflicts with the absolute bare minimum of information and intelligence and then try to take institutions of power. I really think that mentality has trickled down into the general population and they think that’s how wars are won. But the thing is America hasn’t won a war since WW2.
And, it goes without saying, but to say “America won WW2” is pretty charitable. Like, it’s basically a participation award.
Pretty much. But that being said you can still see a level of operational coherency that you just don’t see in the post WW2 era for the US. Like in general you could believe that the average GI involved in WW2 understood what they were doing and what their objective was. But that just doesn’t exist in wars like Vietnam or the GWOT. Like you can watch interviews with people involved in those conflicts and they could not discern why they were being told to hold this hill or that village past the point of they were ordered to do so. It’s been a running theme I’ve noticed and I think that mentality has made its way through to how the average chud thinks about war and how to “win”. That’s why I think the Jan 6th people acted the way they did pretty much.
I mean, they beat the Japanese in the Pacific. Not an easy feat
