(Not saying revolution is not needed...it just needs to be handled carefully, or it will just make things worse)

To expand briefly on this,

1.) The prospect of a violent revolution against the United States government is rather absurd. Only something on the scale of a military coup would have a hope of gaining any measure of success, and the resulting chaos would effectively destroy the nation. Which leads me to

2.) The ensuing total catastrophic crash of the global economy on a scale never before witnessed in human history would soon render the cause of such a revolution utterly meaningless, and would quite likely incite a third world war.

It is therefore rather irresponsible to advocate such, considering the literal billions of lives that would be affected (destroyed) by the economic fallout and geopolitical destabilization that would follow. The age of globalization has effectively made any sort of rebellion in this country into an act of apocalyptic international suicide.
