Yup. The adults gave themselves the authority to declare perpetual adult swim. And now people are realizing that they’ve spent the entire time shitting in the pool before they die.
successful non-violent revolutions? a few. The Indian Independence movement, The Velvet Revolution, the People Power Revolution, the Singing Revolution…and that’s about it. But keep in mind two of those revolutions were against the Soviets who were quite literally on their way out anyways.
So would a non-violent revolution against the current state of things, at least in North America (Canada is in a similar boat to the US with this) work? doubtful. You already have two liberal governments in power and still nothing is being done. It would be worse if both conservative parties obtained power. Liberals and Democrats will do and say all the things to be the good guys but potentially take money from corporations/the rich to improve the lives of everyone else? no chance in hell, their pockets get lined by the same people as those on the opposite side of the isle.
Serious question: Has there ever been a non-violent solution a situation this dire?
Follow-up question: Would this problem be fixable if conservatives were removed from the equation?
We need to get rid of all those old people in office. They don’t care about the future, only about control. They need to go.
