C-SPAN today made a very astute observation with some of its callers today. Two people straight in a row called for armed revolution on the call in line. At least what they could get out before a adamant host couldn't push the disconnect button fast enough.
It wouldn't have been so bad but both of those folks were from different sides of the isle!

And I bet that neither of them had an idea what would happen if a real revolution got started. We haven't had a good old revolution for almost 250 years and people here don't have any idea what it will be like.
It's likely that America's economy sinks lower and real unemployment approaches 40%. The Tea Party and Occupiers are replaced by revolution minded groups who realize that protests, squat-ins and chants are not effective against the oligarchy of the country. When it reaches this desperate level, which side will you support? Will you be with changing the power structure in government and finance by force, or remain complacent no matter how bad the situation gets?
I agree with you on where we are headed. I read a lot of cheap shots about the protesters. Sure, you can go out there and randomly stick a camera in some kids face who just slept two hours on the side walk. The message may be muddled, they may sound like idiots. Here's the thing, most of them have nothing to lose. Many have worthless degrees, are in debt and cannot find a decent job. Not all of them are looking for a hand out. It's not about being rich. How about having a roof over your head and some grocery money.
There is nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose.
I will defer your question though. I don't know who may be reading this and I don't want a can of tear gas coming through my window. I would say that those who still have something to lose will tend to be complacent when TSHTF.
I'll side with the adults.
Seriously, if it got to that point I'd just stay home and read.

When violent uprisings begin in America, who will you side with?
