a situation has come up
Dear NS members,
let's say we lived in a alternate future where we're under totalitarian rule.
Would you become a freedom-fighter to start a revolution and overthrow
totalitarian rule or would you go along with society?

Work my way up the ranks of the military elite and personally assassinate the dictator... Declare national elections, etc, etc.

I'd do about the same, but might add some random killing into the mix

Slowly replace parts of my body with implants and improvements to make me the best driver in the world, win the Death Race and blow up the 'president' with my hand shaped hand grenade. If it's a good enough plan for Carradine...

your intentions for society?
Escape and flee to the woods with my band of merry men and women.

well i think the majority of people will be completely brain washed and go for society, esepcially if they knew of nothing else.

Depends on who's crazier, the government or the revolutionaries.

I would become a freedom fighter. Overthrow the totalitarian rule and install myself as godemperor for life.

He never said he was doing it for some altruistic purpose. The best way to gain power is to swipe it from someone else once they've done the hard work.
well i mean this, your fighting for freedom not control over a society. I
mean you don't want to submit under a facist regime, so would you
rather want this new society to become anarchic or democratic.

You mean what I was fighting against?
And no. Beeing a former revolutianary will grant me the insight which my secret police needs to execute my enemies.

Subvert it from within by manipulating the weaknesses of key individuals within the hierarchical structure.

I'd probably create a very small cell of assassins with the sole intention of targeting and eliminating those who headed the government and then count upon the will of the people (when inundated with sufficient pro-freedom litterature) to carry through a democracy.
That or I'd make my way to the top of the armed forces and take over to force elections.
Maybe I'd just go live in Montana where no one would notice me...
what happen if america become facist?

I'm sure the powers that be will enjoy my myriad audible bodily functions as well as a playlist of all of Electric Light Orchestra's albums.

I would leave.
ANy society that allows itself to become a totalatarian one does not deserve the honor of my citizenship
Currently I have a large yacht moored on the west coast and as soon as I have the resources I'm setting sale for international waters. I plan on becoming my own nation by 2010

A system defended from the outside is most easily destroyed from the inside. Earn their trust and respect, then destroy them at the moment they least expect it.
Coup d'etat motherfuckers!
