    A revolution would be awesome. We could literally eliminate all of these corrupt oligarchs and traitor politicians. Then we can have a constitutional convention to make sure this level of corruption never happens again.

        It’s funny you should say that, if you look at the living standards & human development before and after, it’s pretty clear that the revolution was overall a really good thing.

        Yea you’re totally right we should just keep bowing down to the pedofile parasite class and embrace fascism. The last time fascism rose globally 70 million people died so yea your plan seems much better. For sure

          Are you replying to the right comment?
          Cause your comment seems to have nothing to do with mine.

    Funny enough the gun in that scene is not loaded. When Melvin tries to shoot the monster he realizes he was lied to by someone trying to provoke him into action.

    Kinda ironic, with this meme.

    The American war for Independence is a pretty sad example of revolution.

    Think of the average American, how much did their material conditions change? Now compare to the French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, and Bolshevik revolution.

    America by comparison, was just an “under new management”.

      You are looking at it the wrong way. They didn’t have to pay for the war they started and they could expand westward.

      Well the American revelolution was driven more by the rich or at least the mercantile class than the average person.

      Wealthy men smelled the tide turning and funded the army in exchange for the accolades of leading during the time of revolution. They hijacked the movement to make a country where they ruled. It’s why they had such disdain for the rabble.
