Do you think the reason there isn't any armed revolts in the US is because on some level all people in the US are content with living there? Or do you think the US is just good at controlling it's people?

I speak of now, not a few hundred years ago. Sorry if you had trouble figuring that out.

There are a few instances of armed revolt in US history

1)Pennsylvania- There was a revolt in Pennsylvania by a group of Revolutionary War veterans who were disgruntled. They did not receive the pay they were promised and I believe they were also angry about new taxes they personally did not approve of. Anyways, they took over a Post Office, burned some homes and made a big fuss.

2)1830s South Carolina- Angry at tariff laws supported by Andrew Jackson, South Carolina created the Tariff Nullification Act the purpose of which was to nullify the tariffs in the state of South Carolina. When Andrew Jackson ordered the South Carolinians to return to the fold, South Carolina said it would secede and began producing enough armaments to supply a small army, the secession never occurred though.

3) American Civil War- I doubt any more needs to be said about this.

It is hard to convince someone to revolt when they have three TV with cable. The unemployment rate is around 4 percent, the lowest in the world. The US has the highest caloric intake in the world per person.

So they all have a job, plenty to eat, and cable tv to watch. Why would they revolt? They have it better than 90% of the planet. What would they revolt for? Higher unemployment, less food,

I believe we want to live in peace. People are good in general. We do have many armed revolts everyday by crazies. I do not think we are controlled by our gov. It is Power to The People!! We are the ones who want a life unlike many other countries that do have armed militia walking the streets. We have the police.

I remember somewhat a type people pretending that the tale line of the action picture "crimson daybreak" replaced into by some potential a actuality that would ensue.particular,it somewhat is relaxing to chat approximately.Even bordering on unique.yet you are able to not get tens of millions of people to agree on something,not to show an armed insurrection.Having an AR-15 or an SKS (that has extra advantageous than probably by no potential been fired) and a few hundred rounds won't be "armed to the the teeth",the two.and then of direction you have the inevitability of casualties.not many all of us is keen to be a martyr.until eventually you count type people who've been brainwashed via their Imam. after which you think of in terms of days?This ain't no weekend camping out holiday,sonny.The sheer tension of the militia,with their better numbers and guidance by myself,make it not susceptible to ensue in terms of days. yet circulate forward,shop up the debate.yet make particular to snigger while the communique ends.

most of the civilized world is trying to move here or buy here.

The fear and war mongers at the top have kept us content, while they have raped the American way of life. An armed revolt will happen eventually, but it will take everyone waking up to what is going on.
