Really good question and metaphor, 45D. Interesting coincidence, just in the past few months I've been diving back into historical research on the revolutionary war and it's impossible not to compare events to today.
On the %, I don't know. We don't know what % is awake right now because "they" work so damn hard to keep us from knowing just how big we are. And what do the white hats view as critical mass? And is that even the metric they're looking at? I think a sizeable % of people have a decent understanding of what's happening, but it's not like we're seeing large-scale protests. People are still pretty passive.
And you're absolutely right on the revolutionary war. It was really only a very committed 10% for a very long time.
I wish I had answers beyond speculation. The only thing I'm confident of is that things are going to get worse. My gut tells me we're going to have substantial food shortages at some point in the next two years. Nobody is too asleep to not notice empty cupboards. If/when that happens and it's coupled with additional damning evidence of powerful players, it could cause the dominos to start falling.

But that's purely speculative on my part.
