    That’s kinda the problem with grass roots insurrection, they aren’t exactly a state apparatus and therefore they “are” the civilian population. The “nation” fighting back has the obligation to not over escalate or end up being the monsters. This is where diplomacy would traditionally come into play, but we are in a new age of deceit and ignorance of traditions , and when the “defenders/aggressors” only want to use force…

      Theyve governed for almost two decades at this point. They are a state apparatus, they are NOT the civilian population.

      Did someone say neutralizing civilian disobedience with artillery and mechanized armored cavalry?! :D

      Tankies love this one simple trick!

      ~(lengthly disclaimer: i am sarcastically referencing the literal historical situations where governments have done this and I DO NOT make a habit of calling any actual person a ‘tankie’ under any circumstance, let alone for the flimsy pretense of “they’re a leftist but in a way I don’t like”. The only real tankies are the ones who use tanks to murder civilians, period.)~
