    This is honestly the reason why I don’t think we can achieve a successful uprising anymore. Probably not a nuke, but drones definitely could and would be used to tear through even the largest of mobs if they formed today. Marie Antoinette would be happily eating her cake watching her people get mowed down by autonomous turrets if the French revolution happened today.

      If it comes to that, which hopefully it doesn’t, we should remember lessons from Vietnam and Iraq. The US Military might be massively overpowered, but it can still struggle against a well-organized insurgency.
