@thatonecalculator @Subrote the problem with revolutions is that you're not quite sure who ends up being in control afterwards. History is a great guide - because replacing one system doesn't mean the system that replaces it is any better.

@Subrote @sri @thatonecalculator and insisting on trying to reform an unreformable system out of fear only allows that system to persist. history is a great guide here as well.

I feel and share your frustration with the system. I'm not sure I can make any argument that would sway you that a revolution creates uncertain outcomes and many would not be prepared for what happens afterwards. -

@thatonecalculator @Subrote @sri i'm not denying that in the slightest. i think we just place different values on whether that risk is worthwhile and on how intolerable the current path of the existing system is
