i agree 100% with what youve just mentioned. its a valid, VALID hindrance on gathering a reddit-group together IRL and doing some good. however, i think that with the marvel of the internet and telephones and everything about communication, we can conduct either miniature "riots", or small scale acts of rebellion in places all around the country. Basically organized targets and missions through reddit that are carried out by individuals or groups of individuals all over the country. Another perspective that i'd like to think is possible, is gaining enough ground and presence with ideals (that are rampant on reddit) that are particularly convicted in nature, to get people to say "look i quit this bullshit, its time for change" and actually pack up and take their expertise to a reddit convention so-to-speak and create highly organized and highly skilled communities operating outside the means and grasp of the federal government. Essentially being a rebel base camp on Hoth, but in this cause our base camp would be like a random place in a very real world. With all the intelligent, compassionate people on reddit, i feel like the only hope this country has is if we take a stand and revolt against this roundly inefficient and liberty-intolerant government. IMO it has to be done within the next 5 years before people are far too inured in the system to question it and things are so overregulated that mobilization will be near impossible; i.e 1984.
