You know what course was never taught in my grad-level political science program(s)? The Right of Revolution and how that conflicts with American Law.

I mean, it's right there in the Constitution -- spelled out clear as day. As American as Apple Pie

Declaration of Independence but you know what I mean

"whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness), it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"

It's literally fucking right there in our founding documents,

But we tip-toe around it like it has to be discussed in secret while our government brutalizes our communities and plunders our wealth on behalf of the ruling elite in a very public and arrogant fashion.

All because we've been trained to never question the validity of our gov't.

I think we have enough evidence to have a very public conversation about the invalidity of our government and to discuss our consent to be governed by a failed regime.

Our government should constantly be chasing after our consent. Instead, we fearfully go along with whatever they do because they are "the government."

Making the people terrified of a government that, by its own definition should be continuously terrified of the people, is the greatest coup in the history of humanity.

Which is probably why a course on this was never offered in my grad programs. rofl
