6. "30% cannot control 70%"...

Hate to break it to you, but less than 30% controlled more than 70% in apartheid South Africa for decades. That only changed because of international boycotts…but who’s big enough to boycott the U.S. into submission?

History has shown that a small minority can control the majority indefinitely, as long as it has the courts, police, and military on its side.
