    do they not realize how fucking easy it would be siege out the suburbs? like you wouldn't need to fire a single shot to get them to surrender lmao. water, electricity, food, fuel, porn, basically every resource humans need to survive and thrive are produced in areas that are 100% for sure not made in the suburbs. unless they are literally like nuclear apocalypse level of prepared, they will be fucking running away to a refugee camp in under a week.

        I have no problem envisioning an economic downturn in the US, where the national guard becomes a permanent police force against locals so desperate for basic necessities turn to raiding storefronts and waylaying trucks.

        This wouldn't be a New Confederacy so much as it would be a thousand little insurrections from coast to coast. But the consequences - loose networks of starving citizens organizing night time raids against warehouses, tit-for-tat retaliatory violence between local police and anti-police organizers, bomb throwers both literal and figurative, and all the military retaliation that would provoke - would look a hell of a lot like a Civil War for anyone living through it.

      literally just gain control of the highways or if you cant do that just make them unusable and the suburbs are gone in a few days. they have literally nothing except what is in stores and people's houses.

        funny that it's not even just keeping things from going in, but also things from coming out: trash

        just imagine a suburb going a single week without trash pick ups, those people are waste machines lmao
