I just think in the world we have now, I don't see it happening like it would in the old days. There's more police, more surveillance, people are far less likely to try organizing anything like that. Just talking about it is hazardous to your freedom. Whereas if you went back to the civil war era, I'm sure it was a lot more common for people to just be in groups talking about "how they would do it, if they were to do it." Kind of stuff. There was less police around, less prison space, it wasn't like they could arrest anyone in the country for just talking about things like they could now. In some ways it's a good thing, because this added technology causes people to be more cautious before taking violent action.

Similarly, nuclear bombs work the same way. Although they are a dangerous weapon, they also have their own way of limiting conflict and war as well. So then we enter this phase where this subversion and "non-kinetic warfare" is prevailing. Which I guess, is a good thing. Maybe there never will be violence when both sides are equal or close to equal in strength. Any violence would only come when one gained a tremendous upper hand. Like them putting us in prison camps if they got the chance, for example.

This is why I am in many ways not exactly angry at China. I despise that aspect of human nature that brings them to try and destroy our country. But I frankly am more ashamed at Americans for being so ignorant of these tactics. We are so dumbed down when it comes to understanding that kind of stuff. American's still think of war like it's 1850. When instead we should be thinking about influence, raising generations the proper way, etc.
