When I said "the military did not fire on citizens." What part of that did you not get? When the population demands a better system the troops will (hopefully) realize these are their fellow people and they protect them, not the people "in charge."
Like you stated, pissing off the populace does no good in the long run? Do you really think people are loving the widening gap in the rich and poor, the 1% taking their dollars. Bailing out the Federal Reserve after it spent $2.2 trillion of American tax dollars in '08. I'm only scratching the surface here.
The thing is, the people of America really isn't run by democracy anymore. It is just bought out by businesses and industries. Which also, is another addon to fascism as I have stated before. That's why we need a system reset, otherwise wars on oil and currency status will continue, and slaughter if hundreds of thousands in the Middle East will extend farther into Asia and Africa. Killing people in the millions.
Now, most of you may think the wars in the Middle East are justified. I'll let you in on a secret, a war on terror can never be won. Even if the United States and its Allies destabilize every Middle Easter country, don't you think the innocents that survived will want vengeance on the United States and others? So isn't that creating more terrorists and spawning more terrorist attacks? Plus, you cannot kill an idea, it cannot be injured, thrown away, or anything. The Islamic Extremists are people gathered with an idea, it'll be like killing everyone that thinks a specific thought, it is impossible.
Like I have said countless times, these wars are just to defend the dollar's status. Because with the terrorist attacks like the Boston Marathon, it clearly isn't working. So yeah the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents was for nothing, even if it were justifiable in the start. No offense, but anyone who supports recast on terror at this point is like a baseball fan supporting a batter without arms. At least agree with that. Unless you think more innocent people should die like half a million young children is justifiable, then you'd agree with that last paragraph.
