There’s been no revolution because people don’t risk life and limb lightly. As long as the ruling class still lets people buy their Chipotle and watch Netflix, there’s little chance of revolt. People don’t risk their lives just because they are politically unhappy. It’s not nearly bad enough yet for a sustained, well-supported violent rebellion. One or two people might be motivated enough to do something, but we’re not even close to the point of this having widespread, popular appeal. And count your blessings for that.
