the millions of dollars... pay the professional revolutionaries...
Okay you know how Josef Stalin robbed banks to fund the bolsheviks? imagine having millions of dollars.. and you don't even need to rob a bank
Yeah word I'm following you now, still tho. Hasans net worth isn't exactly a banksworth. Assuming his position in good faith wouldn't it be fair to say taking on the American government with $8 mill (total networth) is a little ill advised? Funding revolutionaries with stated goals of changing the government is going to entail a bunch of legal and operational costs on top of paying the revolutionaries to live.
I guess I can see that he's probably the person closest to being able to do that at all, and its disappointing that he thinks so little of the process.
