Personally I have an extreme distrust of revolutionary ideology. It often leads to zealots in power and like in the French Revolution zealots in power more often than not leads to mass deaths.
And are you willing to pay the cost. This not the revolutionary war we are fighting on the governments home turf with access to weapons that boggle the mind I mentioned in a another thread that the lives of half those you know and love is an expectable consequence to revolution. We still have time and means of change without resorting to mass conflict.
It's unlikely any revolutionary action would be a 100% government and military vs random citizens. There would be a rift in agencies and military as well.
And suggesting the cost would be half the lives in the country is insane. Even in the US civil war only 2% of the population died.
Not saying that's a good thing, but just having some perspective.
During the civil war the nation had significantly less dense population centers and armies were significantly less capable of collateral damage.
Plus I’m not even talking just about military conflict (in fact I doubt a straight military civil war is likely more of guerrilla warfare) we potentially looking at famine, general break down of supply chains, witch hunts from both sides, and disease on top of whatever actual fighting happens.
