Related: About this forumMore Americans are Saying the Quiet Part Loud: They Want a Revolution
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. JFK
This political scientist samples multiple video clips of people expressing their frustration and outrage, and talks about the current state of the union in terms that are not expressed on cable news. He argues that the conditions exist in the US for an armed insurgency. For the most part hes not advocating but warning, though he does support some ideas that might seem radical, like armed militias along the lines of the Black Panthers to protect local communities and neighborhoods. Its an engaging watch even if you think it goes too far.
Things have gotten so bad in America that they no longer view voting and protesting as a viable way to achieve change in the system. As a result, more and more of them are calling for a revolutionand not all of them think peace is an option. In this video, well discuss how declining material conditions, the collapse of the state, and rise of fascist authoritarianism has led to a conversation about the need to rise up and overthrow the system.

And the entrenched minority rule has locked this country into a box that's only breakable by, well, breaking things.
So, when Emperor Child Rapist Felon threatens to invoke martial law, let him. That will the signal to start shooting back.
And start the secession conversation amid the fascist invasion of Minnesota. The Southern states in 1860-61 left for far left cause than Blue states have today.
