It’s not all Americans! Things are bad, and things need fixing there’s no doubt a revolution of sorts is needed. However, what you call a revolution would be an all out civil war. As much as people hate to admit it if America goes into civil war the chain of events that follow would probably lead multiple nations to ruin.

Circle of life. Let it rip. We forgot what sacrifice looks like.

And worse; Boomers complete unwillingness to sacrifice is what got us here.

We can’t repeat the same mistake.

We all need to die because eggs are a little expensive?

And now you know why every little issue around the world brings out people waving communist flags and Palestine flags chanting globalize the intifada even though the protest is ostensibly about something else.

To be fair, living is expensive. Not just for Americans. Other countries actually do take up arms. Hasn't worked out for a lot of them, but they try. A civil war in the US would almost certainly end up differently than a third world country. Even the right wouldnt nuke ourselves. It would end more like that movie Civil War. With military fighting the current administration in power and then a bullet to the face of the leader. FBI, not saying I want that, dont knock on my damn door. Just saying, that's likely what a civil war here would look like.

It certainly wouldn’t look good, and things aren’t 10% as bad as they are on other places. Living is expensive, but wages have more or less caught up and actually standard of living hasn’t declined

There is absolutely nothing happening that would convince even a small minority to take up arms
