If the answer to most or all of these questions is yes, it may be time for a massive nonviolent resistance movement.

I really think it's past the point of a nonviolent resistance working.

In Minecraft right?

Agreed, but I don't think they can print that without risking prosecution.

It generally works if the government is unpopular enough and there's a parallel violent resistance movement. But when the civilians aren't stupid and they remember their neighbors being invaded by the US they understand that a regime change will only make things a lot worse. Plus, they understand that their economic grievances are completely manufactured by western illegal sanctions, and they built a medical industry to compensate for this (because people were dying a lot from lacking basic medicine).
