That's also how all genocides go. And right now there is a choice, we're not there _yet_.

Revolutions often coincidence with genocides, yes. But in human history both have always happened. Any choice is merely a mirage of one if one looks at historical trends, it's no different today.

No, genocide is what happens when revolution fails.

But don't me stop you, go for the mirage, I'll be rooting for you!


No, genocides often happen during and after revolutions too. If you don't want to believe it, pick up a history book. I'm honestly not even sure what point you're advocating for at this point, since you're arguing in tangents.

The point I'm trying to make is that you have ZERO chance of a violent revolution against an enemy that has all of the above mentioned weapons. The ONE chance you had was to flip it into a coup d'etat if you were worth more to the ruling class alive than dead but with automation of both labor and thought, the only thing that's still worth anything is capital.

Picking up history books is of no use if you only use their weight to gain muscle mass.
