Like, CIA troops are fighting Pentagon troops in Syria. Suppression of the political opposition and creeping hard power is being carried out by local police departments and unions. The historectomies in ICE camps were being carried out by a rogue contractor. It doesn't even feel like a movement so much as the aggregate effort of thousands of disparate forces.

    Shay's Rebellion was all like "Yo are you guys gonna pay us for all those years of fighting we did against the brits? No? You're also gonna tax me while owing me? You're putting me in debtor's prison? Fuck you rebellion time."

    Then our esteemed and holy founding father George Washingston put them down

      Yeah and don't forget not long after THAT the Whiskey Rebellion came along where our friend Alexander Hamilton openly admitted to using a tax scheme that benefitted larger corporations and fucked over the little guy, and Washington also put THAT one down.

      Truly he was the Obama of his time
