FWIW: i heard of a bunch of qualified engineers who ended up as full-time VTubers, YouTubers or pop-culture entertainers of all things.
Now i am not suggesting you should try whoring yourself on the Internet for the lulz or anything, the point is that in this day and age there’s probably some bizarre direction you haven’t even considered yet.
Transitive hierarchical structure
What do you mean by “transitive”?
Note that one of the merits behind an effective modern army is its ability to maintain regular troops that are trained, equipped, drilled and rotated with a reserve on a regular basis - something that’s usually achieved with a centralized form of organization and is backed by resources that in the current day are provided by a state. What’s the plan on providing modern weaponry, persistent intelligence, as well as infrastructures for logistic, communication, ordinance etc’ for a militia that’s “transitive” by nature? who’s going to keep an eye on those resources and make sure they don’t breed power tripping warlords, terrorists or even simple crime organizations? what’s the plan on keeping track of munitions and deadly weapons after the militia is disbanded?
Employ decentralized resistance / guerilla warfare. This can be extremely effective.
Highly effective to a degree and can still be bleed-out, toppled or at the very least kept under control with a more organized army. Also decentralization can easily turn to feudalism with armed groups if they start going against each other for whatever reason, such as in the case of political subversion exploiting inherit weaknesses in a non-centralized structure (divide and conquer, etc’).
If allies and neighbors are watching, engage in nonviolent resistance. This is difficult and requires getting the message out to other groups and the attacker’s constituency to pressure them.
What’s a nonviolent resistance going to do to a threat actor who’s eventual plan is political subversion and/or an incursion? why would they give a s*it as long as the war-effort on their side goes uninterrupted by the target or their allies until they decide to escalate?
Unless you want to mess around with something like this, your current best option is probably to manually upscale things yourself using something like waifu2x and then repack everything into your own .CBZ
archives.
At this rate there will only be one place to escape to that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism - SPACE.
Are the 50’s making a comeback over there? should i expect Elvis impersonators returning to the mainstream or something?
