My parents are from Romania and they witnessed the revolution of '89 first-hand. As they explained to me, there were 3 steps that were absolutely essential:
>1. forming a solid resistance inside the military
>2. taking over all the major news stations
>3. invading government buildings and executing its leaders
None of this is happening anywhere in the West and we can now see it even more clearly in Canada.
Where is the police and the military? Nowhere, they're all standing down in fear of losing their job. If they're not even showing up, forget about them leading anything.
No news takeover is happening either, mostly because people nowadays get their news on the Internet. Possible solutions would be to block the most popular sites like Twitter and Facebook (either through ddos or seized governement tools) or to cut off Internet access altogether, but no one has even started considering this.
As for government buildings, they are safe and sound as usual and leaders like Trudeau have shown to be ready to flee the city at the slightest unrest. The American "insurrection" of January 6th was the closest thing we got to a revolution in many years, but it was carried out on a whim by a bunch of larpers who weren't serious about it at all, so it obviously fell flat.
The reason why revolutions won't work, including in Canada
good post but nupol is full of teenagers who are just here for the frens memes
all "revolutions" are 2nd tier overthrowing the top
Romania is even more of a shithole than Canada. Why would we want to emulate that?
Not so sure about that anymore
which is not bad per say if the 2nd tier is not controlled opposition, in most cases they are
truckers have the power to end the pacifying comfort western countries enjoy. When the stakes are raised, which should be the truckers aim, and austerity kicks in, then people will reevaluate who they side with
Is it though?
It just started, if Frudeau does something stupid there will be all three conditions met. Just hang on
Gypo your parents are autists and you as well when you refered for them and their "wise advices". "your revolution" worked so well, romania is even bigger shit since that than before.
