The people aren’t ready to do anything about it yet either.

It's kinda baffling. A country with a violent gun culture obsessed with rising up against any totalitarian government... And yet all of it is just a lie funded by the military industrial complex.

I don't see how any citizen with a gun stands a chance against drone strikes and SWAT teams. The best leverage American workers have over the rich is the same as everywhere else in the world:

Stop going to work.
Peacefully disobey the authorities.
Don't believe the narrative and create art.
Form strong local communities and alternative economies.

My 2c anyway.
