This was feasible when the common man had access to the same firepower as the military, and one wasn't completely dependent upon the nation's
infrastructure.
These days though, a violent revolt in almost any modern nation simply a) wouldn't have enough participants to matter, b) be quickly outgunned, and
c) be doomed to failure within moments of starting.
Definitely.
For a violent revolt to work you would need the following;
- Extreme strategy and immense planning and professional staff.
- An extreme amount of resources, weaponry and ammunition.
- Many, I repeat many highly trained soldiers, ready to be deployed almost instantly anywhere in the country.
- Extremely professional managing and commanding.
- Many organised ranks.
- Extremely good spy and surveillance technology and man power.
- Tightly nit underground bunkers, military complex's and headquarters. ALL HIDDEN from the government.
- An intense communications system that is completely un-breach-able with back-up methods for communications.
ALL of this hidden from the government, all constructed without TPTB knowing.
Its just not feasible in this day and age.
You make it sound difficult. Don't need extreme anything, just the will to resist.
Of course the ATS mods will agree, these guys are practically TPTB themself. They work for the site owners whos only goal is to turn over profit.
Capitalists who support the system and don't want any sort of change, violent or otherwise. Americans, more importantly, who are 100% brainwashed
from birth into pacifist revolt.
Have you took a second to read the news across Europe? Have you seen the various 'terror groups' that are waging wars against their government? Your
heads in Disney Land mate. You seem to live in this imaginary world where the military are gonna come through with stealth bombers and just decimate
everybody. We might be low on freedoms but this isn't Iraq mate.
If you aren't willing to fight for your freedoms you aren't deserving of them. You ignored this request all throughout the thread so I will ask
again; What has peaceful protest done for Britain? The decrease of violent protest in Britain directly corelates with the decrease of our freedoms. I
want recent examples of peaceful protest and the effect this has had on government.
