Why haven't you revolted yet?

Postby Mhykael » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:23 pm

Hypothetical situation here, (for now) Why haven't you personally revolted yet? The world in the state that it is in now is at critical mass. If things don't change soon it's very likely all our countries will get dragged under via a domino effect. This will most likely be caused by the loss of major economies and or over inflation of the surviving economies. Or the straight out loss of the core economic areas of particular countries. (Japan, America and possibly the Middle East.)

So my question is, why haven't you joined the other people who have gathered around the world and have collectively said "f*@( this, if we're going down we're taking you with us." What would it take for you to be that person one day? Are you waiting for the Atomic Bomb? Because in my Opinion that is WAY to late. That's end game theoretically. What would it take for you to fight and take back the Earth for you and the rest of the planet before it's to late?

I'm already revolting. Why do I need to carry it to the streets?

I have been revolting. Through thought. Little by little, I am going to change everything.

Because America is fine so far, but it needs to liberalize and lean to the left more.

Revolting sounds like a lot of work. How about I hire an illegal and give him half of my Bigmac and a sip of my coke, to take my place in this revolt.

I'm advocating nullification, but my idea of a revolt tilts to the right, not the left. I'm certainly no rioter. I prefer the quiet revolution of petition drives, online advocacy, and voting for Libertarians.

Pacifying the masses with behaviour modification and thought control seems like a more productive option.

So laziness? You've bought into the machine and are to lazy to fight the fact that we're all clearly heading for the meat grinder?

I think that's what it needs.

We all die eventually. Your 'meat grinder' is a far less present threat than that inevitable demise, and we don't generally waste our time worrying too much about THAT one either.

I don't know many people who would be in on my ideal revolt. If that situation changes, it's very likely I would join in. Until then... I'll just hang on.

Is the reality of the situation really that grim?

When the average person begins to notice. Then they are impressionable. When they are impressionable, a revolt can be organized. When a revolt is organized, it becomes all tactics and support. And a leader must emerge to give those.

Don't know yet. I'm not much of an organizer. I figure I'll wait until I see more support among my ideal group first.
