No, but seriously. I'm not saying it won't happen, just that it's not a certainty in the slightest. People have had absolutely every fucking excuse to start the shit, and they've done absolutely nothing. We've passed like twenty exits for the Big Igloo, but just keep on trucking.
Media is obviously malicious? Nothing.
Election probably stolen? Nothing.
Education system fucked? Nothing.
Government corrupt? Nothing.
Capitol under military control? Nothing.
Court system coopted? Nothing.
Trying to do away with civil rights protections? Nothing.
Violation of privacy and other rights? Nothing.
Attacks on guns and other private property? Nothing.
They want you broke, dead, your children raped and brainwashed and they think it's funny? Nothing.
Explicit racial, political, and sex discrimination? Nothing.
Talk of Truth Commissions, Reality Czars, and reeducation camps? Nothing.
Covid tyranny? Nothing.
No ethics in video game journalism? Nothing. Women in gaming? Nothing.
Disclaimer: Some of those may have been tongue in cheek.
In fact, it's often less than nothing. People cheer it on.
But seriously, things are so fucked; people have had every excuse imaginable to do something, and they haven't. Again, doesn't mean they won't, eventually. But it does certainly mean we can't say for sure that something will happen if they keep pushing. Because it's been shown that's not the case. Where is the line?
I don't think there is a line. In fact, if shit does kick off, it will probably be over something completely inconsequential and and absolutely retarded.
Further disclaimer: Not an incitement to violence, merely observing past events.

There is a reason i (tried) to coin the term "Statheism" which combines the words "Statist" and "Atheism" because these leftists have declared the state as their new god. Of course they cheer it on, they love tyranny, they think the state can ONLY do good. They are religious zealots! And Marx is their Prophet.
I fully empathize with what you're saying, agree with it in many parts, but unfortunately, this is a public forum! And I'm actually quite concerned about the potential for any statement I make to be misconstrued as an incitement to violence (nevermind that countless Dems made literal incitements to violence all of last year).
To say the least, I know a lot of people who are very, very tired of this shit. And I think there are encouraging - nonviolent - signs out there of pushback. Social media is fracturing, viable alternatives to the standard big tech offerings are now available, university enrollments are way, way down, gun ownership is at the highest level ever and even liberals are starting to realize that the second amendment has value. Even, of all the things, r/coronavirus has taken a massive shift in sentiment against government lockdowns, mask wearing, and started to realize they've been fed dogshit for the past year.
I do think Western societies are in decline, and I don't think it's reversible, but it won't occur without significant resistance.
That depends. You a cop? You have to tell me if you are.
I am not a cop, I swear.
