Goodpancakes posted:Yeah, this is sort of the point. You'll do more for a revolt by being able to frame and push a narrative with social media then you ever would with small arms ownership. Your hunting rifle isn't going to be doing much good against drones and tanks. the point of guerilla warfare is not to be victorious, it's to make the occupier bleed until occupation is no longer sustainable no poo poo my small arm rifle is no good against a tank but the point is to make the enemy fearful every time they go out on patrol because someone might take potshots at them or they might stumble across a home made explosive no one in the ME is doing much good against drones and US tanks either but that didn't stop public opinion here from turning against the war and demanding we pull out.

plus you forget that most servicemen have families living near where they are stationed (wives, kids, whatever), they aren't going to just have 0 problem shelling civilians. can't shoot a howitzer into oceanside without hitting a military relation of some sort

Meanwhile, you can now say Britcoin. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36785872 quote:The government has quietly launched a bold experiment using the technology behind the virtual currency Bitcoin - and, if anybody notices, it could prove hugely controversial. That is because the trial involves the payment of benefits and could conceivably involve very sensitive data being made public - or at least that's the concern of some critics.

When you read about Britain in the whole 1800's it can get pretty depressing. They beat Napoleon and forged and empire but boy, do the living conditions for the "commoners", especially in cities, sucked rear end. And somehow, the nobles, managed to focus all that negativity outside of the country. Pissed off ? Join the Redcoats and vent your frustration on the foreigners. Wellington himself called them "scum of the Earth" and they still fought and died for him. They were chastised even for doing a bit of sacking after sacrificing so much, like at Badajoz and Vitoria!!! gently caress blue bloods forever and bless whoever kills them. Maybe the key to having a peaceful society is to convince young men to join the military and then finding something for them to kill.

Most people never traveled more than 50 miles from their home in their life. And news was not readily upto date or such. And definitely they weren't told the same poo poo that the blue bloods were being told, or said.

A no holds barred throw down. It would certainly show who was the most determined to run the country. Or in the royalties case, leech off their country and act like they have some sort of worth.

you could say that at least the royals represent the upper crust that the commoners can always rail against or blame for their woes, but in America where the narrative is 'if only you try hard enough you can make it' your failures are entirely your own (in society's view) and the full weight of your lovely life bears directly down on you. at least the blue bloods in the UK serve as a punching bag.

Britain is obsessed with class. It's why Murdoch hates us more than the US, because no matter how much power, money an influence he wields, he can't use them to get onto the same level of social standing as the upper crust lot. Upper-middle well to do types want so badly to be part of a neo-aristocracy. I know this from experience. They buy places at the Royal enclosure at ascot and pay to have a family seal made with a cute Latin motto. Favourite jobs include: finance, high ranking military, and just generally owning things and sitting on their arse all day.

Moridin920 posted:the average fat schlub isn't going to be revolting anyway. typically only 20-30% of the population needs to be pissed to make a revolt happen. Most Americans are too fat and/or lazy to revolt. Revolutions are a lot of work and discomfort. Lots of cardio activities. Then again most of a revolutions leg work is done by the young, and young Americans aren't all fat. Still fairly lazy and privileged though. I don't thnk they could sustain the effort to revolt for more than a few days. Oh this is the Brit thread. How fat and lazy are the Brits?
