@Henhouse_Cockerel @Dan_Ramos yeah, they're not going to let that happen.
@Dan_Ramos @Henhouse_Cockerel the US Military for starters.

There was a time when they were important. I don't think they're as important as they used to be or they think they are anymore.
"Also, nobody has reminded them of how much debt they've racked up"

"These aren’t the revolutionaries you’re looking for. Move along… move along… nothing to see here.”
1930s–1950s Nationalist uprisings, Ponce Massacre. International attention but failed militarily
1952–1970s Commonwealth era, PIP Marginal electoral presence
1980s–2000s PIP campaigns, cultural activism. Limited political influence, stronger cultural presence
2000s–present Modern activism, PIP campaigns. Mostly symbolic, very little political effect
@RandomDeamon @Dan_Ramos yeah, I'm skeptical that Puerto Ricans want to give up the welfare lifestyle

Children and younger people these days are having a hard time finding themselves when there's literally nothing you can do, as far as what you were told that you can do, that can actually get you ahead.
That is, except for starting a revolution. Even just putting your name on the paper, you get to say, I did something.
