(This is referring to America btw)I noticed on a lot of message/imageboards politics come up at some point. I even notice that on some sites with comments allowed on recent news people express quite a bit of resentment for our current government. Sure, we discuss, we make plans to write to senators, protest, we dissect arguments, we talk of electing new politicians to office. But when it really comes down to it, most of them aren't listening and when things really start getting bad, what are most of you going to actually do? More meaningless protest? Or will you actually fight?
Because the way it looks, I doubt most of America would take up even a sharp pointy stick. So, when it comes down to it, Are you actually going to sit idle or would you actually do something?

I'll fight. Question is, when is the right time to fight?

i believe the time to act is soon,,,and by act i dont mean idle threats of "changeing the vote" i think enough people are close to saying enough is enough to stand around talking about our situation,,,i/we/they just need a leader to get the ball rolling point us all in the right direction to force change on our goverment one way or another

@1890 not sure,,,thats why i am not leading the revoloution,,i do believe that goverment itself is not necessaraly flawed,,,just the staff of the goverment,so change should start there i keep hearing about voting everyone out can we really afford to wait that long? i dont really think so,,on that note how do we revolt is there a blueprint to get from here to there?

The key to successful non-violent revolution will be the states asserting themselves as sovereign and returning the federal government to a voluntary union of states.

If it's a violent revolution, the key will be swift and merciless violence. The american military would win any prolonged war.
