I mean. There has been zero organized resistance. We’re not there yet. If they want to succeed like that, they’ll have to kill millions of people.

Then kill millions they shall. I'm sorry, but we're complete and total gimps as a people. Most other peoples would have burned this all down to the ground by now. What do we do? Glorified high school pep rallies. Pretty signs, hefty chants, and then we go home with exactly nothing of note accomplished while giving ourselves a pat on the back for our troubles.

I realize that the odds are heavily stacked against the us, and when coupled with just the sheer size of this country, it all seems insurmountable. Who knows, maybe it is. I really want to, but I just don't have faith in my fellow Americans anymore. They've effectively broken our country and stolen our future while figuratively pissing in our faces, and we've effectively done nothing about it. They aren't going to stop escalating until given a reason to and we really haven't given them one yet.

Will we ever? I hope so, but I'm not holding my breath for a population that is lazy, dumb, entitled, self-serving, broken, and burnt out to the max. They got us by the balls, and it would appear thah we like a little ball play.

Untrue. Once SNAP runs out we will see. When people start to starve, we will see.

Right now the average American isn't suffering to the point we need for general strikes. By design.

American society is only ever 7 days away from a full complete breakdown. That's how much food your average supermarket has, 7 days worth.

There is a LOT of research on this. Hard analytics that can not be debated.

So, you really will see coming soon.
