I reject that defeatism...there is more of us than them...only a minority supported our War for Independence (though the largest segment with fence-sitters and Loyalists in trail)...counting continental army and militia about 15% of the population served in the Revolution...the former may be inflated by those serving multiple enlistments, the latter comprise about 5.8% of the population...and while there is dispute over combatants with the Three-Percenters (I think it hard to actually know for sure the exact number of unique combatants in each and every engagement) the point remains that a relatively small number of patriots can be effective...
How many people are prepared to resist the tyranny of CBDC and thrive in a black market economy? Probably more than anybody thinks.
How will people in the system react to having fiends and neighbors raided, killed, gulag'd?
How widespread could resistance grow as this menace unfolds?
I think the shot-callers in the halls of despots are underestimating their odds of success...
