Some encouraging points to factor in, notwithstanding Smart Guy's post:

1. It's significant that many US states either refused to go along w the scam or relatively quickly stopped complying. Implication is that the future plans by the Oligarchs won't go as planned and won't achieve the uniformity they need for the kind of totalitarian serfdom they envision. (As example, think Iron Curtain post WW2. The existence of western Europe forced the Soviets to imprison their own populations to avoid losing them. Imagine a federal government that tries to implement their schemes and any of these Red states refuse. People will flee by the tens of millions to these free states. Already are).

2. The feds simply don't have anything close to the manpower to control this many non compliant people over such a large landmass. The US military won't do that kind of job and any attempt to try will result in a 1930s style Spanish civil war. Yes, the Oligarchs will try to brainwash people into voluntarily wearing chains but there will be tens of millions who won't go along. Then what? There aren't enough fed agents to arrest these people. Cut off their digital accounts? Oh yeah, that'll go over real well. That will make J6 look like girl scout camp. Once that genie is out, nothing will put it back. Tip your hat to the new revolution fellas.

3. People are generally way more resourceful than we think and Americans are particularly so. No cash? Big effin deal. People will narter, trade, set up black markets of all kinds. Again, what do the feds do? Arrest everyone? Impossible. People will move to states that are free and permissive as we've seen already.

4. Desantis and Abbott are nothing special as governors, don't kid yourself. They didn't do one bit more than what they knew their citizens expected and demanded. (And Abbott of Texas is a turd who pretends to be a good guy. Even so he bows to the popular will mostly). Point being that any governor of Florida or Texas or TN or many of these states had better say no to the feds when that day of red lines comes or the people will find a new governor.

5. Bottom line. These oligarchs only win if people all comply and continue slaving away. How hard would it be to call for national work stoppages, slow downs, strikes, and such? How long do Oligarchs stay fed, warm, and healthy when the plebes all stop serving them. We keep working now only because it suits us to do so, because we still have too much to lose. But if we ever decide it no longer works then we stop.

6. We always look at the big fear but ignore what we have close at home. We have family and neighbors and community. When times are good we forget. When times are bad we will remember and be better for it.
