Jed has a post about the Reset Button and while I don't really have a lot in the way of answers I do have some expansion of the question.

First, without organization any sort of reset will be a cascade of individual actions, snowballing into anarchy. Simply look to other countries in the world that are teetering on the edge of 'revolution.' Unless there is some kind of leadership that is compiling a laundry list of grievances against the current government, people act when they feel like they must or when they think they can get away with it.

Some of this is a function of communication (or propaganda.) Without the means to deliver a message that resonates with people nobody is going to march. Everyone disagrees with the government in the sense that nobody is satisfied with all of it's policies, so we cue the music for "change" and decide that we want more good things and less bad things. Activism surrounds individual issues and might see regime change as a solution to a specific problem.

As an individual everyone has their line that if circumstances permitted they would fight. This is not a revolution, it is just anarchy. It doesn't create a new government, it just makes the existing one unable to govern. Another consideration is that failure is expensive. Being caught or killed is a very high price to pay. Simply tolerating the next government intrusion doesn't interrupt our regularly scheduled programming.
