If 8.1 billion people marched on a government, even with a full array of advanced and nuclear weapons in their arsenal, would they still definitely lose? What about one billion? A hundred million? Ten million? Where do you think the line is?

Caveat: The government does want to be able to live on earth again within their lifetimes, but can spend up to a year in bunkers, and the military doesn’t revolt- given that nuclear weapons can be deployed by one person, the worst option doesn’t even really require the military’s cooperation.

There is no amount of civilians that beat the US military. You could gather 100% of the "ive got guns to fight the government" crowd, and they wouldnt do shit against tanks, helicopters, and jets... a mob is going to die unless there is an insurrection in the ranks of the people who control the equipment.
