On the grand scheme of things, I suspect we actually don't have that much power in stopping the industrial machine.
Even if every person on here, on Reddit, and every left-leaning social media revolted against the powers that be right now, we wouldn't resolve anything. Not really. They'd send the military out, shoot us down (possibly quite literally), then go back to business as usual.
Unless there becomes a business incentive to change our ways, then capitalism will not follow, and instead it'll do everything it can to resist that change. By the time there is enough economic inventive, it'll be far too late to be worth fixing.
What are your thoughts on 2A and private gun ownership?
the us military will always have more firepower than your group of armed civilians. maybe good for defending against other armed civilians, but don't act like you could take on the military.
