I do wonder… Even if CBDCs are rolled out, and the state goes into full “empire strikes back” mode, how many policemen, military men, and National guardsmen would follow orders to seize people’s assets at gun point?

Most men in uniform are good people who want the best for their fellow countrymen. There is a limit to what orders they would be willing to follow. What is that limit?

I suspect you don't want to find out. They are trained to take orders and follow chain of command. Look at soldiers from every awful regime throughout history. No reason to presume US soldiers would be different IMO. And while I do think some would push back they would be overwhelmed by those t...

There is no limit anymore. The plandemic was a testrun for compliance, you have seen how they acted because of a mild flu, now imagine a fake "life threat".

I recommend you to read about the Milgram experiment. If you push a subject just a tiny bit further everytime, they end up where they would've nether gone in the first place. Don't underestimate those who control the executive forces.

Germany in the 30s and 40s was full of good people too. They did follow orders though.

won’t happen unless the victims are sufficiently scapegoated

COVID mandates, lockdowns, firings etc showed us all we need to know about what the police/forces will do.

Men who fell asleep during their watch, were brought behind their lines and shot by fellow soldiers, at the command of their officers. There are no limits.

Check out: Milgram Experiment ☝️ Order followers did most the most horrible things in history.

I think you Americans have this idealized concept of "the good men in uniform". I am not American but I do spend lots of time there, it's my second home currently. And I have ZERO doubts that compliance would be probably not absolute, but in practical terms, overwhelming.

My fear is that they will not need to police anyone. They will just contain the flow of their tokens between entities that have a "registered" economic relationship. For example, you get paid for your job in CBDC by your official employer. You can spend your CBDC to buy stuff from registered vendors...

There is a limit. However, governments have applied a filtering process since 2020 to weed out as many non-conformists among military, law-enforcement and critical infrastructure,as possible. This was likely one of the reasons why the pressure on the unvaccinated was so tough in many professions: ...
