Many people will read this list and figuratively shrug saying "Americans are just too passive for this to amount to much revolution of any kind, violent or otherwise". For now, they are probably correct. The final ingredient that must be added to the above witch's brew is large scale deprivation. We've still got more than enough bread and circuses to prevent mass unrest. But we sure are setting ourselves up for a bad time if and when the bread runs a little short. I'm not sure that the America of today could weather the rationing that took place during WWII or even the oil embargo of the 70s without a nation-wide Ferguson event.
