I agree the short term threat is not as great, the bigger threat is tech company backed robotics that renders human resistance very futile. An opposition force filled with Big Dog type robots with guns attached is the scariest future. If we don’t have institutional support it will be very difficult to compete with that. In 20 years time, state / corporate actors will be the only ones that can win wars, as they’ll be the only ones who can find that kind of development.

Robotic infantry is the future. People need to understand that FAST because we're already seeing drones in CoronaChan surveillance and the next step is armed enforcement drones.

Also, networked drones in any urban environment. I’m sure they’re perfecting their techniques by participating in civil wars abroad for a reason. Field testing all sorts of stuff they plan to use on a domestic populace in the future. Small drones surveying rooms ahead of time and keeping an entire area on a digital heat map of some sort will at minimum be a thing, turning on some kind of hud display. Idk what the long term solution will be to protect ourselves from tech tyranny.

Yah, the future is scary as fuck if we can’t organize, centralize our resources and taxes towards our own interests, and create a state that operates to protect us. I don’t think libertarian anarchy will be able to compete with concentrated technological resources. We need a way to pool our resources for group protection.
