Unfortunately this comes from an idea that Yuri Bezmenov said in his famous interview, that “there is no such thing as a grassroots revolution”, that every revolution only happens when a certain number of elites/rich people want it to. In addition to that, you only need about 3% of a population to be active in a revolution for it to be successful. Unironically, one of the biggest examples of both of these is the American Revolution. The founders, except for Ben Franklin were basically the richest people in the 13 colonies, and only around 3% of the population were active in either fighting or giving support to the rebels at the time.

More than 3% (a lot more) was just the number of those who fought.

https://observer.com/2017/07/soldiers-militia-american-revolution/

Historian John Ferling finds that the Continental Army size was actually 100,000, not counting the militia. “Probably twice that number soldiered as militiamen, for the most part defending the home front, functioning as a police force, and occasionally engaging in enemy surveillance” in addition to supplementing the Continental Army for stretches.

John K. Robertson looks at this very issue of militia size in the Journal of the American Revolution in 2016. In his article “Decoding Connecticut Militia 1739-1783,” Robertson finds that in May of 1774, the Connecticut state legislature created the 17th and 18th Regiments. At the time, the state’s population was 191,392 white males, females and children (no word on the non-white population was listed). Of these, 26,260 were in the militia, which meant 13 percent of the population.

And that estimate is very likely much too low for how many Connecticut militia there were, for several reasons. First of all, lacking a border with the Indian population, the age requirement for Connecticut in 1774 was much lower than other states (the maximum age fell from 60 to 45). Second, during the American Revolution, that maximum age of service rose to 55 in Connecticut. Third, the state expanded their regiments from 18 to 28, which would provide an estimated 14,588 men (estimated by dividing the 1774 regiment size by 18 regiments, multiplying that number by 10 for the new regiments), giving us 40,849 militiamen. Multiply that number by 13 states, and you get 531,035 militiamen (Connecticut was a middle-sized state in the 1790 Census). It could be a bit lower, but that figure a lot closer to Robert Allison’s numbers, which are 375,000 serving, or almost 15 percent of the population.

That doesn’t include the U.S. Navy, state navies, Continental Marines (2,000 by one estimate) and the estimated 55,000 who served on American Privateers, which gets us from 15 percent to perhaps as high as 25 percent participation. That number also doesn’t count the men and women who worked to feed our troops, clothe our troops, provide supplies, gather information, and protect our frontier and shores.

Torba is more based than Musk and does more for us and pays a higher price. He just has less money. So people need to decide what they respect. The righteous will have notoriety when you start talking about them.

The Cathedral's reaction to him demonstrates that there is a divide among the elites. Maverick eltes like Musk and Trump have differing interests from the rest of the billionaire classs, and infighting among the elites presents an opportunity for those of us in the lower strata to exert some influence and take back some control.

This kind of infighting within the aristocracy is the primary driver of social change throughout history. If the elites, who possess almost all of the wealth and property in the world, were united in their agenda, the rest of us wouldn't stand a chance.

It ultimately doesn't matter what dissident elites like Musk and Trump actually want. All we need them to do is break globalist toys.

Call me an old fashioned lolbertarian, but I'd say freedom of choice and freedom of opportunity are more important than all of those issues. Trump and Elon at least seem to understand the importance of aspiration to the stability of a society, which is what it looks like they're advocating for, against the interests of people like Schwab and Soros and Buffet and Gates and Bezos, who want to eradicate the middle class in favour of an underclass of alienated, rootless, directionless serfs who can only derive a sense of meaning through the act of consumption.

Oogabooga, he's seen the light! Took him long enough. Elon Musk seems such a thick-head at times.

Zelensky is just an onstage performance warlord who is up for the the highest bidder, and is willing to sacrifice everyone else for his own gains. I really never saw this guy coming five years ago but he's become an insane global threat. /accelerate everything/

>being anti-zelensky means you're pro-putin

You are disturbingly susceptible to propaganda. Oh, and because you clearly need it spelt out for you, there is no honour in defending Putin or Zelensky. They're both authoritarian collectivist scum and deserve a bullet.

It's just business than anything else, he gave them the free trial, got them dependant on it and then goes "if you still need this service you'll have to get your sugar daddy Biden to pay for it"

This was a month in advance of the tweet promoting a peace plan, but I'm betting he's glad to have less interaction as it appears to be more of a lead weight around the West's neck.

I honestly hope they keep antagonising him. There's "fuck you money" and then there's "I can literally pay to have you taken out back and shot, and get away with it" money, and he's the latter.

This is perfect.

The ambassador told him to fuck of, and so he does.

Reminds me, in a much less dramatic way, of Canadian ambassadors making public declarations about how racist/sexist/islamaphobic/backwards/stupid/dangerous it was for Québec to vote a secularism law saying state employees on work hours and in position of authority could not wear religious symbols.

Forgetting in their precipitation to virtue-signal how terminally woke they are, that they were insulting France, Germany, Switzerland, ,etc, a couple Muslim-majority countries, half of their own citizens and 65%+ of Québec...

Regardless of your position on any person involved or the war itself, its pretty retarded to bite the hand that feeds you in such a manner. If someone is giving you a free massive benefit, insulting them and then expecting them not to pull it is one of the stupidest things you can do.

That's why its a bad idea to become dependent on someone, because now you have to place nice with their whims to continue to function.

Indeed.

It's quite astounding that they didn't just silently ignore his statement, or refuse it politely.

He has given them free satellite internet for most of the year, and one of their ambassadors told him to fuck off. Absolutely moronic. How the fuck is that guy an ambassador?

It's Ukraine. Before the war the main thing they were famous for is incompetency, corruption, and prostitution. The CIA overthrew their government in the OG Color Revolution. They're a failed state.
