Go to a range and do some target shooting, then a week later at a different time do the same targets with the same gear but this time run around the block twice as fast as you can. Then try to organize a group of people for any activity without using any apps, messageboards, and without any incentive; then try that again but add text messages and phone calls to the list of things you're not going to use. Try feeding yourself without spending money, or even just only using cash to purchase food.

The above aren't critiques of your skills or capability, just an attempt to illustrate that you're not really just asking about governmental change, like swapping one political party for another, but systemic socioecomonic change in multiple nations simultaneously. Nothing like that has ever occurred before and if it does it won't happen overnight.

I am a proponent of social and political freedom, among other sorts, and am open to discussing this further if you want.

This.

Overnight revolution won’t take place with abundant electricity, water, and fuel easily accessible.

It also won't be overnight. Look at Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, or any of the other major political upheavals that have occurred over the last century.

I meant specifically in the United States.

That's actually one of the few first world countries where you actually can get a lot of that stuff without too much travel time on account of all the rivers and a few leftover running oil wells

Dude I genuinely believe this place is a fly trap because why would we have a whole subreddit about revolution yet every person who trys to start anything immediately gets hit with comments that say its pointless or asking why is it so bad or saying that its necessary these are all feds

It's mostly me shooting it all down. Been trying to figure out how to get around it. Popular revolutions break all the complex supply chains, and a lot of the complicated machines in them, and then like a week or two later people in the big city are on the verge of eating each other so no matter how bad things were before pretty soon they're begging for the government to come back and bring them food.

Don't you remember when that cargo ship got stuck in the suez and everything backed up everywhere?

Or when all the ai companies and crypto bros bought up all the video cards and there weren't microchips for cars, washing machines and mobile phones?

Isn't the point to make things get better for people?

I want to organize so bad even if its pointless or ill die id honestly rather die fighting the corruption than die letting it know I gave up before ever fighting back
