historically, revolutions have followed times of great hardship, where the working class (or peasantry if we're going back further) had nothing left to lose. They also frequently had wealthy backers in the shadows and/or charismatic leaders.

None of that is currently true of the U.S. If you want to call that laziness, fine, but then you have to recognize that humans were "lazy" for most of recorded history.

Historically i dont think we had a country/a people that has been flooding the world for decades with propaganda that they are the good guys and believing it themselves. Americans were never too lazy to tell the world how awesome they are.

Americans were also never too lazy to kill people. Probably only the easy kills. Hmm
