I love my country but hate what it is becoming. I don’t see a peaceful revolution being the solution. It will either end violently or with complete capitulation by the populace. 

Unfortunately the later is most likely.  🥲 

 The state wants total control.
The state has proved they will use violence to gain and retain that control.

Sadly I fail to see where a peacful revolution fits in here. 

 💯 

 State has guns and weapons what the normal citizens have? What violent way you can break them.
