A former convict who fought in Vladimir Putin’s war went on to kill six people with an accomplice after being freed from prison, police in Russia claim. People in Russia have raised concerns over former convict fighters in the war being rewarded by Putin.

    I agree 100% Yet you will (and did) get people arguing left and right that uprising is not possible. Russian revolution and French revolution want to have a word. I consider russian people accomplices in what putin has done. But no, people will keep arguing and making excuses. Despicable.

    Oh, and I saw an argument on how absurd guns are against a tyranny government. Is that the end of a 2nd amendment discussion on why you need to have guns as a citizen?

        Absolutely, no civil armory will topple governments. Hence my ‘jab’ at 2A theories.

        However, you seem to split a society into 2 groups (civil and military) and this not always the case. If people truly want to break free then they can as the military part is also society and thus can join the uprising.

        Taking the stance that an uprising is not possible is dangerous one to me though. If you feel that even with he right cause an uprising can never happen due to the armory of the military then you need to take a good hard look at the society/country you live in because it is not a healthy one. Believing you can never hold your government to account is a sad position to be in. If this is the case, what do you do to change this ruling class? Just ‘take it’ or ‘change it’ ?
