I think I understand your perspective on the issue, but I also think your conclusions are limited by a few preconceptions about the situation and the ways to address it. What I mean is that sometimes problems seem unsolvable when your solutions are artificially constrained by familiarity, even if it's just familiarity with media fiction. The idea that a revolution has to take the form of guerrila fighters or mobs as in the era of the American and French Revolutions, for instance. The weaponry and other relevant factors like the ability to travel or exchange information quickly have significantly changed. The American and French Revolutions occurred in regional bubbles, where as the USA has globalized to an extent that there is virtually no obstacles to importing weaponry, operatives. The communication system and talentless intelligence agencies, talentless because they cannot gain support from the high IQ people necessary, mean that the entire theater of a revolution could be conducted abroad. In addition, an unhinged economy means that money can be fabricated using the financial scams built into our economy to fund any operations. In an environment where moral sentiment is so low and the USA having no mechanisms to keep politicians in the country and accountable that any official, any politician, would sell out their peers for a mansion somewhere and a harem. >As I said just before, I've seen some evidence of a few pockets of resistance but I doubt the average Normie is ready to raise the black flag and slit a few throats, as the saying goes. This is something I often see come up when discussing revolutions and their likelihood, but it really doesn't apply since it doesn't take many people to wage a successful revolution, especially in a situation where the state employees themselves are on one side or another solely for a very small pay check. If a revolution pays $2 more per hour, considering a reformed country is in the employee's best interests, what are the chance of defection, perhaps defection where they stay in place to disrupt the state's operations? They seem pretty high to me. The USA does not have ideological commitment by its soldiers, by it's employees, by the general public, or by the high IQ people that are necessary for this state to keep moving forward. Whether it's the Left or the Right, their grievances are mostly the same and so incredibly severe that many lose their composure just thinking about it. They stole our future and I for one am not going to bow to such a weak enemy. And why would I? These cronies and foreign agents are on their way out one way or another. If the USA doesn't just collapse first it will have a revolution, and if it doesn't have a revolution it will be invaded or just waves of assassins, organized by other superpowers, will flood through the open borders to remove whoever is in charge of this catastrophy. I might have lost you with my discussion about this. I don't see the situation in terms of Left or Right, Communism or Capitalism. I have a much more primitive, or maybe clear, perspective that there are good guys and there are bad guys, and the bad guys have to die.
