Not the same situation at all. The American revolutionaries had the continental congress organizing and funding the war effort. Also it was a lot easier to get back on your feet from being financially destitute back then than it is today where it costs much more to simply exist due to landlords, corporations, and the government all constantly bleeding us for every dollar we make.
The point stands. There have been countless uprisings, revolutions, strikes, etc where the people didn’t have a nice bank account.

Are you saying you have it worse that medieval peasants? Because they literally owned nothing and rose up time and time again against their lords. People a lot weaker than you consider yourself have changed the world.
So they had nothing to lose. No debts to fall behind on, no credit scores to ruin, no government agencies tracking them everywhere they went, no criminal records. If their revolt didn’t work out, as long as they could provide labor they could move around and find a place where they were needed. Their quality of life would be relatively unchanged. For us if we take action and fail we will be dramatically worse off. We need to be organized and have a means to protect each other when things get bad before we can do much. Hopping on facebook and telling everyone not to go to work next week isn’t going to cut it.
I guess that’s why you’re out there tossing molotovs. The history books certainly should highlight just how oppressive life in America is in this time.
Yeah, I do, as well as all the other things I listed that you chose to ignore. I’m not going to completely ruin my own life for a minute chance it causes the Trump administration to change course.
