No, you have it all wrong. The US government is far more advanced. The new age of repression does not involve so much guns and violence, it involves television, the media, politics etc. The US system of repression is far more advanced, it represses people without their even realizing that they are being repressed.
For example, going through the streets and shooting people to disperse protests is idiotic and archaic. It just encourages more hatred of the government, and international condemnation. Instead, the advanced repressive government will plant fake protesters to cause disturbances and violence, both giving the government an excuse to move in and use violence, as well as making the protesters seem like a bunch of hooligans who have np real political reason to be protesting, and are simply out to cause trouble. This INCREASES support of the government.
Theres one thing the US government cares about greatly - economic stability, growth, prosperity. That can never happen with a gov't like in Myanmar. It requires a system where everyone is happy, or at least thinks they are.
As my history teacher put it, there will be no revolution when everyone has their 6 pack of beer and their television.
