Why the hell does America need a revolution? It aint gonna happen. The start of the credit crunch you guys were filling your basements with provisions...what happened? You get to eat beans for the next few years.
Leaders often end up dead or demoralized/defaced in the eyes of the public, by one reason or another.
The government is too powerful. The only way revolution is gonna happen if if they collapse upon themselves by their own doing. And then even who knows. We may just fuck and loot and fight until the Chinese or whomever come and bring order back to us savages.
Nah, I'm probably on the anti revolutionary side. I hate to say that as it's against my nature, but I'm pretty sure the revolutionaries would be hapless trigger happy morons. If they weren't, there was a good cause, a decisive leader, and a real plan, the viva la revolution! I'm all for bathing the streets in blood. I'm just pragmatic about it.
Just speaking theoretically, there is so much division in america, that I'm sure it would not be the clean organized revolution people seem to expect. There would be whatever sparked the revolution, and their followers. Then an infinite number of opportunists of every creed taking arms and trying to expand their sphere of influence. This would bring america into a feudalistic "age of warring states" until either one fiefdom accumulated enough power to dictate central government, or (and much more likely) a foreign government intervened either for their own motives, or because they struck a deal with the 'old guard' to restore order for god knows what price and took control.
I agree with the prior two statements and is why I'm against revolution but if it were to spark, i would like some level of preparedness.
I guess you stocked up with caffeine. I guess "come the revolution" they'll still be people working to provide electricity...OTOH, I guess you guys have a massive generator for such vital necessities.
I keep a blanket in my car, I always bring a sweater just in case, and never walk out the door without weed, so I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be.
