I agree with some of Samseau's points but find blackpills about the globohomo regime drafting everyone at gunpoint totally unrealistic. It's a mistake to draw parallels between this and things like the Covid scare because they're opposite polarity - people went along with the Covid mandates out of fear for personal health, and the narrative of asymptomatic transmission/"anyone can have it!" This was an effective exploitation of personal fear that couldn't be further removed from the Russia situation of ideological/economic baddies halfway across the planet. Maybe more importantly, the covid measures were defensive in nature - wear a mask, get the vaxx, avoid everyone, blah blah blah.
These were based mostly on avoidance and self-preservation, doing this stuff to keep yourself safe, demanding very little of you in the grand scheme of things, quite the opposite of proactive/offensive measures like fighting someone tens of thousands of miles from the US, which is very dangerous and has worked out horrible for the wannabe volunteer freedom fighters. A lot of people concluded that taking the vaxx was a minor risk/inconvenience compared to losing your job. Fighting a war against a vastly better-prepared and equipped military force is quite the opposite. I don't think any level of propaganda will convince the average NPC that Russia is worth dying for, especially when they've been told for years how awful the US and its history of slavery and oppressing Special People is. The threat of Russia is far too abstract for the average normie to care about beyond repeating Putin Man Bad soundbites on social media. The threat of invisible grandma-killer virus is comparatively a lot more tactile.
You could convince men to fight and die for America The Ideal in the 1940s because people had a strong love of their country and its values, and a lot of masculine men who were strong and physically capable, but this no longer exists. People love their porn, video games, and Netflix accounts, none of which are threatened by Russia. I wouldn't put it past the regime to do false flag attacks like nuking St. Louis or something like that, but if things escalate to that point, even the dumbest NPCs won't think that running through a battlefield in the Ukrainian plains is going to make a difference when the most likely outcome is to have your lungs imploded by a hyperbaric missile before you even see a Russian soldier. Or something more benign like hacking the power grid: why think the Russians can't knock your troop transport plane out of the sky over Poland with an EMP attack or with their diabolical hackers?
You could get a small number of delusional normies to go fight in Ukraine, and bribing recruits with good deals on student loan debt and mountains of money might work, but the general population is so atomized, so weak, so uninvested in America The Ideal, that forcing a bunch of people into fighting at gunpoint is not just unrealistic now, but probably has been unrealistic for decades now. The manpower to fight such a ground war simply doesn't exist, and it seems far more likely that if the regime wants to escalate things with Russia they'll rely on secret wonderweapons or more immediate NATO proxy toadies instead. Threatening the populace at gunpoint to fight Russia would probably be just the thing to make beer-and-football middle Americans with an armory of guns finally snap.
Again, the globohomo regime maintains its control over Americans by keeping them comfortable. This has been a highly effective strategy; I mean, I won't say that culling the population through a stupid war isn't something they'd do, but what's the point when white Americans are already electively not-breeding themselves into minority status? This also explains why people didn't get up in arms over the vote being stolen, whether subconsciously or not, the average beer-and-football guy knows that whoever sits in the White House just doesn't really affect them that much, the same sometimes slow, sometimes rapid cultural degeneration will happen either way.
This is different from Ukraine where the country is already embroiled in a war within their borders, you'll get a level of desperation from the Azov Nazi guys conscripting dudes at gunpoint that seems unrealistic when, again, we're thousands of miles away, Russia is not invading our shores, and there's no existing, organized army of fanatics to put the gun to your head. You can't just whip that sort of fanatical passion for your ruling regime out of thin air, Biden has none of the cache you'd need to pull that off. Though I do think you could probably convince quite a few broke, angry brown kids with low IQ and low life prospects to go fight in exchange for enough shiny rewards.
Either way, take away the comforts and it's a whole new ballgame. Remove the comfort, and your control is suddenly a lot more tenuous. The elites have worked themselves into a corner and their grip on power has never been more tenuous. It seems like almost any move they make is going to hurt them. I wouldn't declare that victory is imminent like some seem to think, but it does seem like the regime is stuck, and it's hard to say exactly how it's all going to shake out.
