Likewise; though is a U.S. revolution even remotely possible in this day and age?
- mindcrime 14y agoIt's hard to say. And I have mixed feelings about saying "I hope so" or "I hope not." On the one hand, I think freedom is it's own end, and that we have sacrificed far too much and given our government way too much power, and that it'll take a revolution to roll things back a bit. But, I sure hate the idea of a bloody armed revolution and all the death and suffering that would entail. sigh I dunno man, I just don't know...
- glanch 14y agoNo, it is not. We are too big, too diverse, too smart, too dumb, too divided, too comfortable. Look at election numbers. Less than half the population votes, and the voters are pretty much always 50/50 divided. Not to mention the major sources of media are controlled by the rich. Pretty damn perfect recipe for suppression of any kind of popular uprising. The "next big change" will come from an external source not an internal one.
