The one out last weekend, and in the weeks to come, protesting. The people the government derives it’s power from the consent of. If all else fails, all other means are exhausted, and the time comes, you hope the military is on your side but you do NOT hope the military takes initiative to resolve the problem because my guy the interests of the military are not the interests of the citizenry and I would prefer not to live under a military dictatorship thank you very much.
Do a headcount of which citizens are on which side. Rationality and empathy exist in bubbles, not a sea. Most of the population is really just that plain dumb and/or sadistic and apparently has grown in numbers and magnitude since last time. The side you’re rooting for also will almost always pull their punches whereas the other side simply doesn’t. Give me a deus ex machina fairy tale dream to cling onto because those in power with the big guns and tanks and bombs lust for hurting people and they’ve got the majority of the masses tricked into happily getting themselves and others trampled upon.
If you’ve already given up idk what to tell you. A military dictatorship is not what you want.
