That's not a particularly persuasive answer. Men with guns have killed nation states before, and digital technologies have influenced men with guns.

- Zigurd 5y agoRight answer. Wrong reason. Conventional armed might grows much more slowly than does economic productivity and trade. The relationship and relative power have shifted. "Men with guns" and "killing a nation state" that has a modern economy is a fantasy. This is not to say there is no reason why the fantasy persists: Men with poor social and economic prospects will harbor that fantasy. But they are powerless, and guns will not change that. It just makes their fantasy uglier when they try to make it real.
- voakbasda 5y agoGuerrilla warfare stands a real chance to disrupt any nation state. Do not discount a bunch of men with guns.
- citizenpaul 5y agoThat is not really very true and in most cases those men had support of another government. The idea of a guerilla revolution is mostly a fantasy since the invention of semi automatic weapons.
