The idea of armed revolt always concerns me because of countries like N. Korea, Iraq, and more recently Afghanistan.
All of these countries had periods of (relative) progressive tendencies before their current iterations. Yes, I’m aware Afghanistan was still rough 2001-2021 but there was still a generation of women going to school and getting educated and that concept just simply ceased to exist.
And all of these people just kinda…watched it happen. And did nothing about it.
I’m not sure, as an American, why we’d be any different. We have alcohol, iphones, air conditioning, fast food, and video games. No one is risking their creature comforts at this point.
Would you agree that those creature comforts are at risk in the coming months? Fast food and video games have already become prohibitively expensive IMHO.
