Fuck yeah. I get to be a student fighting against the Japanese government kicking out peoples to build the Narita Airport. This was literal war, which lasted years. The govt tried to kick out the people whom had been living on the la nd since for ever to build their airport, but they weren't having it and fought for about 10 years. The doco is heavily biased on the side of the protesters and follows someone who filmed the whole events I think it covers about a decade of events.
>>
>>3060960
>At the time, the socialist movement still possessed considerable strength in Japan, evidenced by the large-scale student riots in Tokyo in 1960.[12] Many in the "new left" such as Chukaku-ha opposed the construction of Narita Airport, reasoning that the real purpose for the new airport was to promote capitalism and to provide additional facilities for US military aircraft in the event of war with the Soviet Union. These individuals sought to ally with the more conservative local farmers who simply did not want to give up their land for the airport.[13]

I'm not sure about this.

Look on the bright side, you were born after the Antonine Plague, which almost surely would have killed you.

Plus you've got like, a solid 40 years of the Roman military occupying the government under the Severans before things really go to shit. In fact you'd probably find living under the Severans pretty rough because they flat out treated soldiers like the privileged class and everyone else like subordinates, so if a gang of soldiers broke into your house, raped your daughter, and made off with a bunch of valuables, the courts probably didn't want to listen to you bitching about it.

Your best bet would be to get the fuck out of Rome. Go live in North Africa which will remain relatively peaceful until long after you're dead.
