To be honest I don't feel revolution can solve this shitsack of a world either

 

[Sky]

I can't think of one revolution that didn't just swap one tyranny for another

 

[Chris]

Revolutions worry me bc even when terrible governments are overthrown, so many times even worse ones take advantage and put themselves in power from the chaos

[Chris]

The American Revolution is an anomaly of history tbh

Scotland had a chance to become independent, and they voted to keep part of BRITAIN

 

[Lethal]

like we did in 1998 iirc

Based on false pretenses

Even then though, the Revolution led to Slavery being a big thing for another 60 years.

 

[Chris]

I think there's been some other independence revolutions similar to America's that went okay though, no?

Not really I don't think it's really just the generalizations that set me off and I've been trying to just ignore them more lol from everyone not just you. They just don't compute with my brain I aways consider how the people reading it feel

yea thats def where we differ, i dont feel like i need to sugar coat things. I also dont live in your country, so obviously it impacts you in a much different way, i get that now. Ill try to be mkre concise about specifically which socio political demographic im refering to. I get it, even barry saying "christians" is also generalizing. I dont think its nefarious tho, i think for them theyve been heavily negatively impacted by those groups themselves so im more empathetic to that ig than appeasing centrists

 

[Sky]

The pro-union campaign used scare tactics because Scotland is very pro-EU... and then immediately announced a Brexit referendum where Scotland was dragged out of the EU against its will

None that really come to mind outside of the recent Euromaidan and Arab Spring revolutions.
