Please realize that I take everything I see on the internet with a grain of salt, and that we're mostly joking around. Or are we?

Sure, why not.

I didn't say the dude isn't a goober, I said his website usually posts verifiable information.

I don't think you understand your importance, or the lack thereof, when it comes to the government.

Any list you are on for standing in a park, blocking traffic, waving signs, or even talking about having a riot is nothing compared to the list i was referring to.

Talking about taking over a few stores in a city isn't the same as talking about taking out infantries with homemade explosives.

Granted being on both lists would bump you up slightly, but being on the "homeland terrorist" list would be enough to get you royally fucked if shit ever starts to go down (possibly before it ever did). There would be no "fucks given" if you were snagged for that list, no one would even know most likely. Especially, seeing how you like to frequent large crowds of people for the majority of your days.

playing Mr. Revolutionary is nice, but the information you were asking about is putting you on the "plays for keeps" table. Best to keep your roleplaying online, least you end up the next big loser on the news (if you aren't just kept as a "missing persons").

Oven cleaner melts faces at close range irl. Just saying.

Guerilla/long range tactics work for groups trying to reach a goal, the individual who isn't a part of a group would be best served by coming up with a creative place that most people won't be, and minimizing people contact. If you're not a part of some group, your chances of long term survival are low.

No revolution is going to cause any sort of chaos of this level. Even the great depression, in all its storied infamy, really only devastated 25% of the population. The upper 10% and the lower 10%, and the 5% affected by proxy through subsequent chance involvement with that 20%. The top lost everything they had worked for, the bottom lost enough that they could no longer survive by society's rules.

However, all of those millions of people that people have been feeding on pitiful telemercials like Christian Children's Fund while they reproduce at a rate of 5 living children per female, they have slightly better than crude militarization, unbelievable numbers, HIV, and they'll be hungrier and hornier than ever. Right now they're only trying to kill each other. It's a natural solution to overcrowding.

They compete for resources, their numbers thin, the problem is solved. But you've got idiots like George Clooney trying to look cool by keeping them from killing each other and funnelling resources their way. When you feed a wild animal, and you run out of food, it doesn't go looking around for a new food source.

Natural barriers are about the only thing in the way, and look where the weakest countries lie. Greece, and Egypt. Greece happens to have lots of modern seaworthy vessels, and captains who really like living. Most people can only think about the implications in terms of their modern life, but cause and effect run deeper than you latté and your ipod.

It will be a gradual process, but it's an unstoppable domino effect of human nature, base and predictable. Europe and Asia have more to worry about in the immediate future, but don't think for one second that it won't change the landscape of society in those nations, and all the world's dealings with them.
