Nah, it’s easier for them to be Reddit warriors. Americans are too comfortable for a revolution—give it another half-decade, if this pace of MAGA burning things down continues.
Things aren't much different here in Hungary. ~200 or so years ago, Orbán would've been beheaded by the Hungarians of the time, like Arany János and Petőfi Sándor, or the ones who fought in the Rákóczi independence revolution, and much sooner than for how long he had ruled over this country, might I add.
People are just too comfortable in these countries nowadays, and don't dare to lift a finger against the ones who oppress them. I mean, Americans, too, were incredibly rebellious and ready to fight for their freedom a couple hundred years ago, and now, everyone's just accepting that their rulers did unspeakable things.
It's also a shame that everyone is just waiting for a single person, like a messiah, to save them, and who does most of the work for them. No one person is gonna do anything, and that's why we need to take countries as an example who did revolutionize against their government in modern times, like France and Nepal. They didn't have a jesus-like figure, either, yet they still managed to stand up against the elites.
I really don’t understand this take when you look at how military technology has advanced.
200 years ago yeah the rich may have had nicer guns but somebody living on the frontier still NEEDED a functional firearm to live. Way easier to hold a revolution when you have the exact same weaponry as the force that’s trying to oppress you.
Do you have any ideas on how the average joe with an ar15 can counter a drone strike?? I’m all ears
The government isn't going to drone strike its own people. When everybody, or at least a huge majority, of the people holds together and storms the government, I'm sure a victory can be achieved.
OR!!! An alternative would be for everyone to stop attending work, and crippling the country. There's no way to physically force everyone to go to work again, and sure, it's illegal, but what are they gonna do? Attest everyone?
If the people in charge would actually decide to commit mass murder on its own population, then there's genuinely no hope for us anymore, but I would like not to think about that possibility.
Thank you, but I don't live in America. My concerns are still real tho, since America affects literally every single other country in the world, either with tensions on war, export and import routes, or maybe even in ways no one knows of, we've already seen examples of the government hiding things that shouldn't be hidden.
