(NOT IN THE USA! - KEEP THAT IN MIND!) What would happen if it was the military dealing with protesters instead of police using LIVE ammunition against them?

I WILL REITERATE, THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT THE USA OT ANY EVENTS OR PROTESTS TAKING PLACE THERE, INSTEAD I AM MAJNLY DISCUSSING COUNTRIES LIKE NORTH KOREA FOR EXAMPLE. (SO NO COMMENTS ABOUT THE USA, ONLY TALKING ABOUT ABROAD.)

You’re stuck in a country akin to 1984 but terrible as North Korea, protesting against the regime certainly means death, since the leader has given new orders to the military to use live ammunition towards protesters but they will also track down their families and assassinate them on top of that.

It is impossible to leave the country in all forms as all of the borders are sealed off (through maritime, aerial or territorial means) you cannot call the police on the government themselves, so the challenge is to now protest on overthrowing the regime but in doing so will get all of you killed and tortured, all internet access and social media is blocked, even with VPNs it won’t work, you cannot even send money or bitcoin at all as they’ve blocked that off too.

Any foreign intrusion by outsiders and smugglers will be considered an declaration of war, so you can’t seek help from the outside as their countries will be invaded by intervening, you can report the leader as a wanted fugitive but arresting them is hard as it also means war followed by a nuclear explosion. Setting up encampments for protesters is not possible like at all in this situation as you’ll be met with stiff resistance by the regime still in power.

I guess the only thing you can do is remain patient as the leader ages then passes away but they have a successor to take their place enforcing the same rules as their predecessor, it won’t be guaranteed if they will overwrite the harsh ideology as they are brainwashed since they were kids.
