This is something I like to mention whenever I see HackerNews talking about revolution.
The odds that the "rednecks" from fly-over country (the people with guns) will partner with the California intellectual cognoscenti, who enabled a massive concentration of wealth and built the state surveillance machine, is practically nil.
In all likelihood, the tech-elite will be seen as the enemy: "what were you doing when this machinery was being built?"
