    Unfortunately that’s pretty much the fate of any attempt at revolution nowadays, the gap between how many a soldier can kill versus one civilian can kill is just too high. In the US where people have more rights and were more free to coordinate, it hasn’t mattered how much ICE was outnumbered.

      Successful revolutions don’t start with the guns. They start with stoppage. Have all the worker bees go on strike and the railways, ports and airports stop working and see how far a regime lasts

        That’s another problem, people are not the borg, and they also need to survive. It’s part of the reason authoritarian governments tend to play different regions and subcultures against each other.
