How would you feel if it was the government trampling on your rights yesterday, instead of the victims being people like me?
But nobody did nothin' to me yesterday.
Could the entire support base of the regime's bullshit really rest on retards with an IQ just too low to understand oppression as a conditional hypothetical? Since "nuthin' bad happened to me yesterday" is that why they excuse all this shit? Because they literally can't understand that it could happen to them later?
I think that's only a small part of it.
People will only revolt when things are really intolerable generally. The founding fathers of America were aware of this. Its a big deal for dissent against the government to rise to violence, and it shouldn't be done on a whim or casually (as you can see with the French revolutions or with the Arab spring).
There are also still legal avenues to pursue, and things aren't as bad as they could be yet. Its been a gradual erosion. Currently the pot is still on simmer.
People like to meme that the American Revolution just happened because "muh based founding fathers killed all their enemies the second their rights were threatened", but the reality is that they exhausted all their legal options and all attempts to resolve the situation peacefully before doing it. We aren't at that point yet.
Yeah only about 10% of the population needs to actually fight back in order to actually upset things like in the American Revolution. I've heard that the projections are that if the US goes into full civil war at least 30% of the population would end up fighting back.
Normies will always lean towards whatever makes them feel comfortable. It takes quite a lot to tip them from "Do nothing" towards drastic action, or at least supporting people who are willing to take drastic action.
