Waiting until everyone is forced into "revolution"....great game plan. 
Tell me do you have any idea what a revolution entails? what do you want this revolution to create and destroy, what is this revolution going to be about and lead to?
People toss around the word revolution like the word alone will lead to something, most everyone has this utterly romanticized idea of revolution.

Revolution is actually a rather loose term if you think about it. I'm not saying I wan't a big rebvolution to happen or anything, but rather something will happen. Theres always revolutions happening throughout history, what makes our time any different?

Most people in the 18-24 age ranges dont really care about much except for the latest trends and stuff. However I am in that age range and do care about politics and our world. I go to a community college and the majority of what i hear people talk about is jersey shore and random pointless shit  I dont think they will cause a revolution. And if they did make one, I honestly think it would fail miserably. But if we get some of the older folks to kick it off, Im sure the right minded youngsters could keep it rollin

Exactly my point, A revolution requires a unification of all people with a clear and concise plan of action. Protests DO NOTHING. Listening to the innane babble of people at the mall, facebook feed or in the lineup slaps me in the face with the confirmation of how completely shallow the majority of humans mentality and worldveiw really is.

Young people have always been trendy and seemingly uninvolved in politics and and world affairs, it's simply a phase we will all grow out of. Not to say that some of us have already gained interest.
It'll happen, just you guys wait. And even if it's not in our youth, it may happen when were older.

waiting accomplishes nothing.
Its not enough to sit back and fantasize about that day far off in the hazy future when we make real change happen, You gotta get out there and do, Now, always, all ways. Even if its just taking a interest in political affairs, donating a bit of money to a grass roots organization or the likes or just being a happy talkative motherfucker out in public. Do something for your people. A true revolutionary loves his people more then he hates his oppressors.

For a new system to begin, the old system has to fail. The current generation of young people (to which I belong) only have a very small role to play in what's coming.
Oh, and it might be easy to say society's in the shit, but time has shown that a minority of people can get enough power to change the world. Considering dissent among the masses is at a breaking point and even mouth breathing morons are starting to look around and see how fucked up things are, we're pretty close to some sort of revolution.
It could be a world-changing one, but at the very least, the US is going to fall from power in the next 2-5 years, just based on how our economy is doing. Once the economy really falls over, the military will be fucked without its moneyz, and soldiers will probably desert their posts to protect their families when shit hits the fan.
The rest of the world's pretty pissed with us and is starting to abandon us because they don't want to sully their names with our shitty credit. Won't take much more for us to be utterly fucked in all senses of the word, and when we come out of it, we'll probably be better off than we are now in more ways than one.

The counterculture movement of the 60s wasn't as massive as we think it was nowadays. Most of it was underground, and the majority of people pretty much went about their lives as usual.

agreed. the way things are going right now, i definitely feel like something huge is bound to happen. not sure if it will be good or bad though.
I agree 100%. Things have been too mediocre for far too long.

It's not that things have been mediocre nismo, but rather there are far too many things that are building up to create a change in society as we know it.
Believing that a revolution is bound to happen is not foolish or thoughtless, but rather a simple understanding of history. How big it will be is anyones guess though.
