    There are some that gained independence so that’s fair you’re right.

    The soviet union singing revolution ones were probably the most comparable I’d guess as far as size goes. But half of the soviet union starving at the time, which makes for an easier revolution when your government is incompetent and already being dissolved slowly inside of itself.

    Same with Britain during ghandi, they were in the middle of WW2 and forced the Indian people into it and thats what made the calls for independence even stronger and being in the middle of a world war they were just tired of dealing with it.

    So sure, if you’re government is already in the middle of giving up hunger strikes and singing national anthems together can get the job done.

    Resisting US government control as it stands right now is more akin to Rome or Myanmar with how it will play out.

    Also as far as size goes: more size = more people but also equals more cops, more mitary, more federal agents, etc.

    Britain didn’t have an entire portion of the country full of forces who lived there ready to jump when Ghandi was doing hunger strikes. But boy oh boy, the USA sure the fuck does and doesn’t care if it would kill every single last one of us.
