A popular myth is that the British working class is too weak to carry out a revolution. Yet by examining the concrete facts, we find working class Britons are highly proletarianised and have taken the path of struggle many times in the past years. Will Collins examines this question further.
I honestly think we’re all too controlled. You don’t have to go full-on dictator to keep people from rising up. Instilling a strong sense of blind patriotism in the politically conservative people, along with a blanket “violence is always bad” sentiment in the more progressive people, keeps everyone pacified. Half of the people are convinced that everything’s fine because the government said so, and the other half are too scared to fight.
These ideas still work in smaller nations, but the idea of the American public toppling the US government in 2025 is absurd. Even if you ignore that we’re completely incapable of finding commons goals as a nation, you’re still being turned to pink mist by a drone while you’re waving your assault rifle you bought at Wal-Mart around on your front lawn.
And if you add in what I ommitted, its impossible. We can’t even get over half our population to stop supporting pedophilia, there’s no way they’re coming together for a revolution.
This would just turn into a years long, brutal, violent inaurgency with probably several civil wars occurring at the same time as fighting the government.
No, they’re too controlled.

I agree. No one should blindly support any government.
