It wouldn't be a revolution, as that would be a conflict aimed at toppling and then replacing the government.

This would be a civil war generally, and it would be unfortunate for a myriad of reasons, number one of which would be the annihilation of the folks starting it. And I mean the word literally. Annihilation, as in total destruction, extinction, etc. That would be tragic not just for the obvious reasons, but for how utterly misguided and unnecessary the origination would be.

Thankfully, dude is lone social media nutbar, and there is no way the 99% of the minority population that is normal everyday middle class Americans buy into that horsecrap.

I maintain my belief that the social media "mob" or "community" is like 100 or so nutbags that have us convinced they number in the millions. I don't buy it. I don't buy into more than the tiniest fraction of people of any color buy into the garbage that comes out of social media lunacy.

This isn't some 'difference of opinion',..this is like tettering on open violence.

Nutters like this that spout revolution remind of the Richard Spencer's ranting on White power. Except Spencer just gets socked in the mouth instead of burning and looting storefronts.

I know plenty of Black people and plenty of white and none of them are like either of them. If 'revolution' happened they'd want nothing to do with them. These radicals need to stay on their corner holding cardboard signs.

Read the history of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Lenin disbanded the police force and courts, emptied prisons and used street criminals to lead the mob violence necessary to topple the govt.

The same tactics are being used today.

Maybe, but against a wildly different populace. You might see some wreckage in cities where mass disarming has been more successful, and people are more used to cowering in fear, but outside of a few localized blocks within a few specific cities, Lenin's tactics fail horribly in 2021 America.

It might have all turned out differently if the Bolsheviks didn’t start confiscating guns and outlawing private gun ownership in 1918.

Social media already gives these people a platform.

And to think we have companies in the USA that supported this type of drivel. I wonder if they have regrets.
