Well, the point with the 2nd Amendment is that you should shoot them. Unfortunately 99% of all Americans seem to think that it's more important to shoot petty burglars.

Civil disobedience is a better approach.

It's a Catch-22 anyway. There will be no general uprising until many people enough are willing to join, and most people are unwilling to join until there are enough people who will join.

But it's only meaningful if you know the powers that be can be replaced with something better. About the last person I would trust to do the job was a revolutionary.

[TheoK]

So you don't trust the little revolutionary Roman pony? 

[odeon]

Nope. Sorry.

this is true.  That's why the cops have adapted a strategy on street gangs to NOT arrest the head of he Gang.
Rather they control him.  Once you get rid if the current leader a vacuum is created to fill that void.  And since street gangs are brutally violent in nature you generally end up with a new leader who is worse than the last.
Over time, due to attrition, this will happen anyways.  I think revolution and controlling the outcome by a democratic process is necessary from time to time.

An uprising/civil unrest will happen when the powers that be do something extremely heinous and are unable to hide it. Trying to use dead children to further an agenda and pulling security away from a consulate in a hostile country are no where near enough.

Not going to happen. People like having someone else to control their lives. It's why society invented marriage.

i thought that was god.
Oh. Nevermind.

I don't think they like it, considering how much they bitch about the politicians and officials. They are only too stupid to understand that it is their own fault that someone else tells them what to do.

"How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror."

No one really wants it to happen, the general public enjoys being assfucked by the powerful then bitching about it.
