The internet is cables and satellites. Cables can be cut and the government has shown they can shoot down satellites. Who said the kill switch is an actually switch that turns something on or off? It could be a chain reaction.

Then why revolt?

If you believe you should do what you say, why don't you actually start a revoltion.

Advocates of nonviolence they frequently say that nonviolence works and the principle examples they use of that are ghandi in india and martin luther king in the US. The problem with that is this constitutes a great historical white washing, that in fact the resistance in india was incredibly diverse and ghandi was a very important figure within that resistance, but the resistance was by no means pacifist in its entirety. There were a number of armed guerrilla groups, a number of militant struggles, very important riots and other strong clashes which were a part of the struggle for indian independence. So on the one hand ghandi basically got negotiating power from the fact that there were other elements in the struggle which were even more threatening to british dominance. So the british specifically chose to dialogue with ghandi because he was perhaps for them the least threatening of the important elements of resistance, and if those other elements had no existed they simply could have ignored ghandi.

This nation is doomed because too many people value "creature comforts" above truth, integrity, and freedom.

I don't see any real men in America today.

Real men risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to create this country, and it has been incrementally stolen from us, by the same powers that existed back then.

And most people, just say, "oh well", I can still ride my motorbike or whatever.

Real men are few and far between.
