What would it take for you to support an armed revolution?

[Tequila]

America is too old, too obese, too diabetic for any kind of revolution.

 

[thraashman]

A really cool uniform. With, like an awesome black T-shirt with a winged skull on it and skinny black jeans with skulls and stuff on them. Black and olive drab Vans skaters and free tattoos too. I was thinking maybe a cool hat, but there's no such thing as a cool hat, so just cool sunglasses instead.

Really man, skinny jeans? I can't imagine the horror of a revolutionary army all wearing skinny jeans. There'd be a whole lot of dudes with their balls uncomfortably squashed. How can one effectively have a revolution if they're constantly adjusting the crotch? Also I think fedoras are cool hats. You know, like the Blues Brothers wore.

Americans are fat stupid and lazy. Theyll just sit and bitch at their computers while te govt takes everything they have

Housing is cheaper

Where?

Daycare is about $1000 a year.

Who is paying for it?

Retirement is covered at about 80% of your income.

When will that money run out; will it still be around when you retire at that rate?

 

[exdeath]

Nothing, the American government is way too powerful for any internal revolts. Just look at Occupy Wall Street movement, its a joke. Revolutions can happen only in weak third world countries like Egypt and Libya... with a little help.

OWS wasn't armed.

Imagine 100x OSW + all armed and ready to shoot.

These unarmed protests and "empty holster" protests are retarded. Would need 100,000+ people with little to lose to show up with loaded rifles and standing their ground before they are taken seriously. When a tear gas canister is responded to by a volley of real bullets from a crowd of 100,000 thats when shit gets real.

It wont run out, because they use math and economics, unlike the US.

If taxes keep going up

Taxes pay for it. As the economy has slowed down things have become more expensive. All of the numbers I quotes used to be less. They've gone up quite a bit in the last 4 years to cover the cost of the sinking global economy.

It's in the US where our tax dollars are wasted unfortunately.

 

[randomrogue]

Oh and one thing they did was offered early retirement to alot of people at 60% of their income to keep costs down. Many took it and moved out to the country where the cost of living is much much less (but you need a car). Retiring at 60 at 60% isn't bad for many.

Revolution will happen when a country around the world decides to take out the satellites that orbit the planet.

 

[berzerker60]

Funny how the people so eager to armchair revolt against the tyrannical government are so often the ones who take it as an absolute truth that we should always increase defense spending. I'm sure your ragtag group of overweight 'patriots' with semi-auto rifles is going to be a great match for predator drone strikes and armored personnel carriers.

If taxes keep going up

Taxes are at a near all-time low, especially for the very rich. The top tax bracket for the 40s through the 60s was over 90% (and yet magically there were still hardworking rich people creating jobs).

I realized this a long time ago. Bad science fiction at best.

More bad science fixtion (sic).

 

[RearAdmiral]

The world won't allow such a thing.

whatever happens, I'm in whatever regiment that Nemesis 1 is leading because I know it will be a blast.

He will lead an armed revolution of pigeons fighting the plane contrails to awaken the populous to the 9/11 inside job and then we can get started with the ground war to reconquer the lego stores from the EU.

Or did you mean against the Illuminati?

There are days when you're absolutely more than 90 and less than 180 degrees.

 

[momeNt]

It would take a lot.

I'd be okay with the following....

-removing term limits
-door to door gun confiscation
-physical examinations before being cleared to eat certain foods
-100% taxation and wealth confiscation
-Complete government control of what was previously private enterprise

What I would need to join the armed revolution. I'd need to be promised a lot of land and a coven a women. I'd need to be in the top quarter of the pickings for both the land and the women.
