  • Yes, I gave a simple example for ease of following my point. A simple example of thousands of potential targets that would all need to be secured by a new government faster than any one of the hostile powers that would want to capitalize on a revolution.

    Also, you ask me to do better. I’ll try “harder” after you refute the other things I said. You get to put in that work first.


  • I understand they faced similar problems, but disagree that it can be done again. The problems are vastly larger in scale, and physical barriers that would mitigate problems like foreign influence are easily ignored with advanced technology. E.G. Russian hackers messing with water treatment plants because our current government can’t implement a secure enough system.



  • I have shared my thoughts here already, but ok. I’ll play along. I did consider it and it wouldn’t work due to a major split in the populace’s opinion, foreign powers that would get heavily involved, the sheer size of the country, and the inability for the revolutionary force to choose the correct moment to stop violent action.


  • You heard it here ladies, gents, and others. A pile of insults is defined as more than two, and a three paragraph counterargument with multiple points is considered weak and undermined by one “haha, bet you didn’t think of that!” sentence. Sorry bruv. Gotta hard disagree with your stance. I agree things are f***** i ti distopia, but a single organized revolution is both insufficient and monumentally difficult to achieve.





  • The general public has enough of a mental split if the right direction of the country that short of splitting it somehow a sucessful revolt will lead to more fighting. Also country is super big. I’m content fighting my little battles withing my family/friends and using our voting system as much as I’d prefer significant changes.
