Most people won't revolt, not in America and not here. If 0.1% revolted, the other dumbfucks would side with the oppressors.

I hate people.

Yeah. All one can do is try though, bud.

Revolting is - unfortunately - one of those things when trying really isn't enough.

Well, no. Its not really so black and white. Mass thinking is really hard to pin down, and at any one time a crowd of people might not be ready to commit to any one course of action. Perhaps they are not educated enough, maybe they are focused on something counter intuitive to that action at the moment.

If one keeps trying though, if they keep presenting information and appealing to people's common sense, and your interests really are in their best interests, then they will agree.

And that's all it takes for revolution baby.

In practice, there is revolution going on. Very quiet, very friendly. But, noticeable. The We-conomy. Rage is part of it, growing his own veggies. Parts, IQ, the Queen and I are part of it. Secondhand buying and selling, trading services. It is happening more and more, and it can be felt economically by governments.
And increasing taxes just isn't helping. It only makes that people avoid things to pay taxes over even more.

A violent revolution? As long as there is internet, entertainment, porn and McDonalds and other ways of instant gratification, don't count on it.

I like the silent revolution, because it is not only breaking things down, but also building ways to live together.

I participate in both silent and not so silent revolution.

There always was a group of people doing things on their own. Trading favours, trading goods, growing own food, trading seeds etc. Neighbours taking care of one another, alternative people. But, it never was that big that it had a big impact on economy.
Now it is booming. Getting easier because of social media. People offering to cook a meal for strangers at cost price, etc. And it is trendy and cheaper. So, it is growing and growing. Big enough to see as a revolutionary force. And with it, on top of it being trendy and such, there is a political awareness, taking things in ones own hand again, when that is possible.
