    wouldn't this actually destroy the global internet-driven logistics network that transports essential food and goods and basically create a massive famine and medical supplies shortage?

      Phone lines and domestic internet can still work, we'd be mostly fine. You can still do radio, etc etc. Gotta create some sense of crisis for people to mobilize over, and the added benefit is it would break most of how imperialism operates in this day and age long enough for us to build something better. This is all theoretical of course, and maybe there's a better way to do this that doesn't involve taking down cross continent instantaneous communication?

        this makes sense actually, the likelihood of global catastrophe that would eclipse any potential for revolution is probably lower than I think in this scenario. And this may be theoretical, but who knows, maybe one day a solar flare will destroy our communication network and we'll all have to scramble to seize the moment, if not just survive.
