Not surprising. People in the military tend to be quite far right and since the US does nothing to slow the spread of fascism and abuses their troops you get a perfect breeding ground for fascism. Especially since anything left is "too political" and "hurts moral" the only arguments for change in the military come from the right. I know people in the military and they very much border on fascism if not are outright fascists that just haven't told me yet because I shoot down their right wing shit in the few instances they drop it.
A military coup would create a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie oh noes
but it's going to be the wrong bourgeoisie you see and the veneer of democracy will be gone so people won't be able to pretend that it's anything but that
Honestly? Critical support for whatever putschists are out there, when it comes to toppling the liberal state. I wouldn't stick my neck out or anything for them, but in the imperial core? Hell if I care if they burn the place to the ground, it may be spite politics but if they go after the libs even better.
I increasingly think Chiang Kai-shek had it almost right, but in the opposite direction- fascists are a disease of the skin, albeit a severe one. Liberals are a disease of the heart (CKS wasn't a liberal, but basically he was the real issue). One will burn itself out ravaging the skin, the other will take society straight to hell along with them.
