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.

    The DoD thinks it will shake out that way. They have explicitly stated the entire military is at risk of collapse due to water shortage in a recent report

    Good summary of report here: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbmkz8/us-military-could-collapse-within-20-years-due-to-climate-change-report-commissioned-by-pentagon-says

    But without urgent reforms, the report warns that the US military itself could end up effectively collapsing as it tries to respond to climate collapse. It could lose capacity to contain threats in the US and could wilt into “mission failure” abroad due to inadequate water supplies.

    Water is currently 30-40 percent of the costs required to sustain a US military force operating abroad, according to the new Army report.

    Water is the biggest threat to every single tendril of the US abroad. And every tendril at home is going to be threatened by displacement of populations and food scarcity as worldwide shortages as well as California no longer being able to produce food will leave the US with massive food insecurity.

    If a MASSIVE investment and infrastructure planning does not begin to prevent this, right now, the stresses their whole system are under will not survive it.
