Just one more election bro, I know we have The Camps and everyone on earth has organs laden with microplastic and we’ve killed fully one third of the forests and the oceans are turning to acid, but now is not the time for radical change I’m sure your life (moderately, bipartisanly) improve when the oceanic algae is all dead and you can no longer breathe.

Yes, I am certain that your life will begin improving measurably when the food runs out. Revolutions have had a history of dramatically improving living conditions for everyone as soon as the old system is abolished. Alternatively, there can be the simple recognition that breaking the system that exists will result in a mass casualty event Revolutions also don’t have to result in violence (think of a mass strike across the entire country that never ends). But when capitalism gets desperate it will start a civil war if that is its only hope to maintain the old system. And think about the mass suffering caused by mass poverty, genocide, minority oppression, political polarisation, endless war, boring work and the list goes on. If one revolution is all it takes to install a democratic society and fix so many of our problems, I know I’m on board.
