    More of a peaceful revolution kinda guy if possible but hard to do these days with how dire some things are getting.

    I have a good feeling such revolutionaries would only fuel the oppositions fire

      It doesn’t actually matter what they or others think and that’s a lesson I as well as other revolutionaries have had to learn the hard way over the years.

      Public support has been made impossible to secure with the collapse of the education system and propaganda designed to convince Americans to reject education and learning.

      So it’ll be up to the few people who managed to resist it to either revolt, or try to escape.

        What of the police state though? How can revolutionaries stay out of the gulags in order to fight these revolutions you speak of.

        I don’t believe in the extreme, tired ways of the retirees of the world. There’s plenty of smart routes to change that don’t require being thrown in jail.

        We live in the technical age, one hacking group took out most of Las Vegas slots. Anything is possible through though and intelligent action. Stupid violence leads to unnecessary death.

          Bail fund. Physically bust open the jails. Attack police and liberate people from arrest. You know, the usual.

          I agree with you that white-collar tactics should be a part of the revolutionary’s repertoire of government -overthrowing tactics, but honestly, I don’t see how it’s possible to completely avoid getting physical with those cretins at some point.

          Most violence is actually intelligent. They’re never mutually exclusive.

          While these idiots are advocating for a revolution they’ll neither participate in not be effective if they did, the rest of the world will just keep innovating it’s way out of problems.

          People like the dude you’re replying to are the worst kind of useless. They’re the kind of person buying Powerball tickets to try to get out of debt.

            Yet they seem effective enough that you are regarding them as a threat, hence you’re investing all that time and energy you’re supposedly putting toward innovation into arguing with people like me on the Internet.

        Public support has been made impossible to secure

        Definitely a sign you’re going to win a war.
