Ain't that the truth.
People need to read a little more history about revolutionary situations. There's NEVER been a revolution that sprang up full blown like Athena from the head of Zeus. There was always prepartion involved and repression of that preparation. We're definitely in the prep stages now, but they are important because without them when events snowball, we're screwed. If not prepared, you get either a Bonapartist strong man or fascism. Or both.
And I DO expect it to move even faster in the future.

OP
Most of the revolutions in history did not have "masses" they were often a well organized minority

I don't think the leaders of the other groups I mentioned were organized in the way you mean either.

There was a king who was head of the state church and persecuted dissenters. Theocratic enough.

The bosses don't make revolutions. America is the boss nation and the revolution has begun.
