Dangerous, probably but they can't stop us all. Pointless? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution.
- ImJamal 9mo agoBritain and France were not dictatorships. Also, those are from over 200 years ago, having a more recent example might be helpful.
- randallsquared 9mo agoWell, those are examples of revolutions against entities which were definitely not dictatorships. The British parliament stopped fighting the Americans over the objection of the King.
- Shorel 9mo agoI was trying to SUBTLY IMPLY they should be armed against the regime. Also, that they should do something different than protesting. While protesting, people become targets. I suppose subtlety doesn't work with you. A fighter against the regime who is alive is more valuable than the corpse of a protestor. That's simply logistics, you fake Cthulhu.
