While undesirable, bloody revolutions happen pretty much all by themselves once some hard to estimate pain limit is crossed.

I tend to believe, most western civilizations are pretty far from that limit of pain. But, at the same time, they're far closer to the limit today than a few mere decades ago.

So there's ample reason to worry, and ample reason to speak out that the course we're staying will not end at a happy place.
