If there was no Government, I would probably track down half of this board and beat the shit out of them. Well.....maybe more than half.
The reason people don't rise up, is explained very well by that South Park episode from back in the day.
In America especially.....we NEED people on both sides. We NEED hypocrites. We need the War-mongers so we don't have bitch-made countries invading us.....and we need the Pussies so we can at least give the outward appearance that "not all Americans" are in favor of our `Imperialism'.
The reality is that many people (young people especially) are bitches, liars and fakes, as I believe I have at least shown A LITTLE BIT OF time and again on this very board. When asked, these people who seemingly speak out non-stop about how much this country sucks, are known to immediately get defensive and start spouting off this "I love my country, just not the Government!" shit as soon as they are asked why they don't leave and see the world for a bit.
These are people who do not study Arabic, French, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Swahili, Wolof, Portuguese, etc etc, and yet feel compelled to act like they know what is best for these regions (with these languages) and their people. It is a funny joke to me, because if they were forced to go to these places, they would first shit their pants.....and then they would struggle mightily to fit in.
The point of all this?
You have people that don't even understand how the outside world operates, don't understand outside cultures other than what their History 101 teacher taught them.....and you expect them to rise up and start a revolution out of nowhere. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
