Their oppressors didn't have tanks.
Our oppressors do.
There's no way out.
Unless...
Anyone down to steal a tank?
(For Legal Purposes, I'm talking about GTA6 😉)
- You can’t win a civil war by blowing up all of the infrastructure you rely upon, you do it with boots on the ground, building to building sweeps etc. now, that’s all if you can actually get a civil war going. It’s looking like people are going to sit around and let people get taken one by one.
- I mean...
- Well... the colonies had "troops" much the same as the oppressors did. They won the troops to thier side. The modern day equivalent would be the national guard, and the state guard. The troops in the colonies technically answered to the king, just like the national guard. So you don't need to steal the tanks, just win the loyalty of the national guard in a few states to start. Then snowball.
- If there was a revolution it would not come down to tanks.
  Theoretically, an oligarchs house gets broken into and there is some bad stuff. Repeat.
  The hardest part would be recruiting people to research and post locations and schedules.
  
  There must be an app for that. Lol. We had private jet trackers for a while.
- Ukraine's doing really well on drones vs tanks
  
  There was a relatively recent report that stated you could DIY a fairly sophisticated “battle” drone for a few hundred dollars that has similar capabilities to the drones being used in Ukraine.
  Maybe this is the real reason for the tariffs?
  
  You need access to explosives for this. The attempts to mount guns on drones have not been successful to my knowledge. The "Dragon" flamethrower drone has shown some success, but that's more about flushing people out of treelines etc so explosive dropping drones, kamikaze drones, or traditional munitions become more effective.
  In short, yeah one would at least need access to grenades or other explosives.
- Fuck Rockstar, boycott GTA.
  
  Why boycott if I can just pirate it?
  I get to enjoy it and they don't make any profit from it.
  Heck, I'll seed it and cost them even more profit. 🏴‍☠️😎
  
  Pirating is boycotting :P
  
  IMHO that's still contributing to its cultural success. People who can't pirate won't want to miss out.
