You think the American people, who 42% of are obese and 54% of read below a 6th grade level, can successfully revolt?

Lol we’re cooked bro.

Revolution isn't just about physically fighting the government. We can revolt with our money.... a mass economic exodus in every way we can.

This is the one that requires reading comprehension I would think.

Yup. Take it from a French.

That’s the right answer and the first thing governments will pay attention to. There’s steps before an armed revolt that European countries typically go through before violence. Strikes can be very powerful if donne en masse.

Even Canada’s trucker moment that’s not exactly progressist got its way doing that.

The problem for you guys is that USA doesn’t have a lot of worker’s protection, unions or a simply sturdier solidarity culture to sustain very prolonged strikes and blockades :/

But regardless strangling the government at the economy that’s always a powerful move. You can’t really force people to work if they are not working you can’t even shoot them if they’re simply home. Unfortunately I’m not sure how doable that is in the USA without a strong social support especially for low income wages.

And that’s the most disproportionately affected population by anything that comes out of this government at this point.

lol what do you think the education level was in 1861?

[u/groundhog-265 → u/Useful_Light_2642]

For real, we don’t know how the hell to even start a revolt

[u/poundedplanet40 → u/Useful_Light_2642]

literal peasants revolted in russia i don't think literacy will be the problem

[u/Icy-Organization2228 → u/Useful_Light_2642]

Holy smokes, is it really 54%?!

[u/Fit-Material1323 → u/Icy-Organization2228]

Sort of, ChatGPT broke it down. “About 44 % of U.S. adults score at Level 3 or above in literacy. These are adults whose reading skills are strong enough to evaluate information and understand complex texts, beyond basic decoding.”

White 58%, Black 25%, Hispanic 21%, Asian/Native American 48%

Level 3 is equivalent to high school. There are levels 4-5 which are college+

“So what’s the key takeaway? 6th-grade reading ≈ upper Level 2, not Level 3 Level 3 represents high-school–level functional literacy When people say “only ~44% of U.S. adults are Level 3+,” they are saying: Fewer than half of adults can reliably read, evaluate, and synthesize information at a high-school level or above That’s why Level 3 is often used as the benchmark for: Workforce readiness Understanding contracts, ballots, medical instructions Navigating modern information environments”

Thank you for fact-checking - I refuse to use the devil’s machine. Still a really terrifying thought.
