    Except that when a revolution becomes necessary we will all be fucked. Citizen’s most important duty is ensuring the State stays true to democracy

      You’re never going to fight in a revolution, and if you did you’d lose because you’re not a good fighter.

        This mindset is the primary reason we live in this world

          I’d be the guy you’re fighting a revolution against, so that’s great to hear.

          I don’t want to tear my government asunder. I want to fix the few broken cogs in the machine.

              I’m aware that we live in different countries. My point is there’s a lot of me, in every country.

              I don’t think you want another Reign of Terror followed by an Emperor, either.

        They had guns in 1789. That was the main reason they took the Bastille. Everything changed after that day

          So, do you have a hunting or an sporting shoot license for your guns? France laws are the same as the rest of the EU, guns are very controlled, people in Europe don’t talk about guns as a means of revolution against the government. Unless you meant you’re french in the way 'Muricas say they’re Italian or Irish, i.e. they have a great grandfather that once passed through that country.

            It’s not something we discuss often, and none of us have guns. But we all feel extremely weak against the government which we all hate, and that openly violates the core principles enonciated when we created the republic. People are getting angry, but it’s something that’s still very new
