How to start a revolution?

[Ninja]

Find a National Guard armory.  There MIGHT be upwards of two guys guarding it...  That's a good start to a revolution.

Security is an illusion.

The System is extremely vulnerable.

[Arnox]

The System is extremely vulnerable.

At certain points, yes.

[Rizzo in a box]

Uh, the revolution is happening RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Wake the fuck up. Do you not understand shit? You're a dirty criminal. Haha. "how to start a revolution" - what a joke! There's no way to start it - or end it - it's in motion. No one can touch it. Enjoy the chaos that will proceed.

You need guns,lots of guns....

[Goats]

Ok, you have some guns.

The military still has Delta Force. They also have guns. And tanks. And UAV's with missiles.

That's not enough, anyone can get a gun. Knowledge is power. Be aware of what is really going on around you and enlighten others.

This ^^^
Any 'revolution' would be facing 19-20 year old soldiers that can run for miles with 100lb. of gear, and are at their physical prime as far as eyesight and reaction time.  Not to mention they would be trained and armed to the teeth.  If you happen to even get a hint that the military is in the area, get as far away as possible, because they will probably just shoot every male they see and move on.

^Do they have a crossbow that they can make exploding bolts for though.

If you want to start a revolution you'd have to start by attacking peoples sense of comfort. Take out water, Sewer, and Hydro country wide then watch the pot boil. There's only so much a government and the systems in place can do on that scale, Look at what Katrina did and that'd be a walk in the park compared to what I'm suggesting.

Most people don't know how to survive without modern amenities, Give them comfort and give them cause and you're guerrilla army will grow.

I like the idea of airguns.  They have some high caliber ones that are pretty intriguing.

I wonder what it sounds like though, that would be the main advantage of using something like this, to quietly take out 'important' types on the opposing side....

[Goats]

The only way to take out important types, ie, high ranking officers, is an insider attack.

To get near them, you have to penetrate the front line, the rear lines, the forward bases, the rear bases, then however many kilometres it is to headquarters or base camp.

And even if you use a 'quiet' airrifle to kill a General, that shit will be all over the media and all throughout the military, that a General has been assassinated. Which kind of negates the idea of quiet killing.

And a helmet will stop a air rifle pellet. As will a glass window with a fly screen.

[starvingniglet]

ie, high ranking officers

thats way more ambitious than what I meant.  Important like, drivers, any expensive to train technical or vehicle crews, etc...anything to cause the other side losses. 

[Goats]

In a modern, developed country, the best way to have a revolution is a coup d'etat. If it fails you end up with a massive civil war and everything gets destroyed.

So, you have to make comrades with police, military, emergency services, local militant types such as ex-soldiers and 'patriot groups' and hope you do not get detected by counter intelligence, which the police, military, etc etc are going to report you to immediately as they will probably think it is a counter intelligence investigation and don't want to end up against a wall and shot to death, which is what would happen if you tried to do something like this.

And the news would be something like this:

"Local man shot to death in bungled drug deal" or "Man hacked to death with meat cleaver in home invasion robbery gone wrong"

That works as a terrorist attack. During war, or 'insurgency', all supply lines are protected by military means, including overhead air cover.

And doing it as a terrorist attack will probably be recorded on CCTV anyway, provided we are talking about a first world country here.
