We in the III community need to seriously discuss what role we see in the upcoming games. For the sake of this discussion, let’s ignore the “names” we want to call our groups and discuss the “roles” that are envisioned.
There seem to be three schools of thought about this:
- Some seem to think that we will all fall in and form some sort of nationwide revolutionary army. Sam clearly sees himself as the next unarmed George Washington.
- Yet others see themselves as some sort of resistance fighters in a semi-organized underground force.
- Some seem to think they will become some sort of home defense force protecting their neighborhood and ally with other like minded folks in a sort of community defense force.
A nationwide revolutionary army seems very unfeasible. Despite the calls for “reestablishing rightful liberty” from many in our camps, there doesn’t seem to be any consensus on what that really means from a pragmatic standpoint. Although rightful liberty is a subject for a different blog entry, I will proffer that reestablishing rightful liberty is a concept with no meaning seeing as I can find no time in America’s history where we really had rightful liberty as we would all attempt to define it.
Without consensus, there will be no national leader or national campaigns.
Without consensus, there will be no masses to convince and get support from.
It might happen as some reestablishment of a society evolves, but it won’t happen as part of some national effort to reform our country.
Resistance fighters may be more feasible. Many suggest that the upcoming war games will see many of the elements of 4th generation warfare. While we may see more of the features used against us (some would say that many of them are currently being used against us), certainly many of the tactics can apply to resistance type fighters.
