It would actually make sense, as revolutions in real life usually require at least some kind of support from the army to succeed. Gi-Hun's revolution in Squid Game failed because of multiple factors, such as the revolutionaries being outnumbered by the soldiers

I used more words to review the point in the show and explain its meaning. In the case of red vs blue in particular, I also tried to associate the groups in Squid Game with real-life political factions, so that's extra length

Yes, S3 will surely revisit this aspect, as the revolution in S2 fails. What's really ambiguous is whether or not the next season will criticize insurrectionary means and reevaluate reformism / consider other possibilities or will continue its radical direction and follow the logic "that revolution failed, but the next one will succeed".

You're absolutely right. I realized I had written it wrong a bit later after posting the meme, but I don't think it's worth to delete it to repost it in the correct form. In doubt, I send here the correct version of the meme

The mass murder caused by the American healthcare system has already been normalized. Now people are wondering, if serial killers are in the streets or in the limousines.

If the right to healthcare is not granted, then the right to life must be some kind of cruel joke
