That entirely depends on how many people pick up a rifle. One person? Yeah, it’s Chinese repression of democracy all over. 1M people? Nah, the gov’t gets overthrown.
You need more like 18 million. The stats on insurgencies are 10 percent supporting and 1 percent acting. And supporting isn’t just in theory, these are stash houses, escape routes, and weapons builders. But that’s just to get started. You need to convince a majority of people otherwise when you actually try to march in the open the military will just crush you.
Buddy, if you picked up a rifle to take down the system you’d just end up with a tank staring back. Guns aren’t going to get us out of this.
This thread is MF weird.
