I doubt any peoples' in the world will. They will only get mad and gripe while doing nothing. The governments keep doing it slowly so at best, only small groups will stand up at a time that are very easy to put down, and then the event will be used to take more of their rights away. No one will throw water on the "wicked witches of the west" in any of the "developed" nations. The good people still have too much to lose...
I agree. This country is a prime example. Americans today tolerate government restrictions and intrusions far exceeding the comparatively paltry issues that caused the Founders to engage in armed rebellion. Anybody who would seriously advocate taking up arms against the government over a tax on tea would now be considered certifiably insane.
newb Wrote:France might be the closest with the yellow vests starting to burn banks, etc.. But they haven't stormed the government buildings and thrown out the problem government officials yet. If they do, I bet again, that the military or even the UN will be sent to "force peace" aka- keep the system in power.
Of course. Insurrection is illegal everywhere. See the "Whiskey Rebellion" and the "War for Southern Independence" for examples on how it was dealt with here.

His intent was to start a civil war and get the evil rats out of power.... along with restoring the culture and people of each nation to how things were before the unwanted and forced mass immigration of "not the best"' from those various nations.
He really wanted to restore New Zealand and Australia to how things were before the unwanted and forced immigration of convicts from Britain???

LOL. Martian colonies will probably be far more restrictive than what you are likely to ever face on Earth. And since the colonists would have to live and work in pressurized habitats, it seems rather unlikely they'd be allowed to have guns.
