The internet would have to shut down. There's never going to be any sort of serious action so long as we're all kept entertained.

The French and Bolshevik Revolutions did not begin until adults had to make the choice between staying home and watching their children die of starvation, or taking to the streets against their own government.

Something like only 30% of people own guns in the US, if they were successful in repealing the second amendment, there would be spurts of violence, but honeslty, I don't even see a revolution then. Thry would probably mix it with major tax cuts for corporations.

A lot, lot farther. If there was an attempt at a repeal of the second amendment you'd see it.

Strangely, I've yet to see the gun people rise up like they said they would when the government becomes tyrannical...

Yeah. The populace is being fed shit by the news networks and the politicians. Congress is corrupt as hell, and the president is a fucking pussy. We're going to shit, and we're choosing to ignore it.

Not AMerican, but I think tensions could get a lot higher before something large happens. People want a good government, but they also really don't want a war.

This. War is hell. I'd rather try anything and everything short of it...

It will have to get to the point where basic necessities are put into jeopardy.

People take drastic measures when they're hungry.

I was once in an office meeting that put me 2 hours late for lunch. They had no idea how close they all were to dying.
