I'm curious to see what a modern violent revolution would look like in say, the United Kingdom, or the United States, and so on. I'm curious, because in is probably going to be completely insane. Have you seen the crowds in those arab countries? We have cities with like millions more than whole countries! Will it just be complete destruction and devastation? Jeez I'm so high. Post some theories or predictions or thoughts or something. About what a modern revolution would look like. It's a really scary future, guys. Edit: It'll be like gang violence on a massive scale.
Well are you talking figuratively? Because at the moment a US based revolution won't have the masses of the middle eastern ones. Not because we're dumb, but because of the lack of caring by most uninformed people (Also the sodium fluoride in the water that is a known sedative, but hey thats just a conspiracy ) Nonetheless, a US based revolution would be a smaller one, however a more powerful one because we Americans don't like to stand down once we have stood up.
I think the State would put out adequate propaganda and resources to support their cause. If there was a rebellion it would be immediately denounced as a sponsor of terror - for which there is only one remedy - destruction. Imagine Obama dropping predator drones strikes within our border on "American Terrorists" On the flip side, how sweet would it be to see a hundred thousand Americans storm the White House, CIA, IRS, DEA, Federal Reserve, Dept. of Homeland Security, FEMA, MSM, Banksters and MIC culprits; then we could flush out the real terrorists
You don't realize how much I dream of this. However instead I'm afraid we will only get about 1,000 people if we are lucky... The rest will all go raiding stores and signing up for their welfare checks
I think at first people could take control of a few small areas, but we would then face the power of our own military in its full glory. The dollar would fall as we fight, and china would invade towards the end when we have exhausted our selves.
I honestly think you're underestimating the American people. Would the government be able to attack it's own people? That would ruin their whole rep if they ended up winning. (I know their rep is already terrible, but America is known as the land of the free and all that)
Most Americans are so obese they couldn't sprint to their mailbox if a jelly donut was waiting for them. The revolution in America would mostly be fat people wining on their cell phones. Plus they aren't very smart
Small groups using hit and run tactics. Its worked for the enemies we fight in our so called wars, so it should work pretty well on our home front.
In a nutshell, yes. Also...after the revolution, a civil war would probably be next. Progressive philosophy vs Traditional philosophy?
The only revolution that would make any modicum of difference to our government and with our culture would be a revolution of our wallets and how we spend our money.
Sorry, feel asleep there for a while. First brownie ever. I'm not so sure about the whole "twitter and cnn" form of the next American revolution. The propensity for violence is in the American people, it's part of our very national DNA. Shit will go down if the economy gets worse. Fascism might be popular again.
I'd say something like this: I mean, how do All modern civil wars end up looking like? Lots of AK-47's, blown up apartments, and dead bodies. Play MW2, it'll be something kinda like that.
