Revolution in astronomy means: a big ass tour round something else and you end up exactly where you started. Revolution in politics means exactly the same.

Obviously, the social unrest we are experiencing is artificial. The surveillance state has been in the works for decades, but there is no way people will submit to it without being scared into it. Whether the right or the left or fake Christianity or actual Islam manages to pull it off, it does not matter. I suggest to consider the amount of control you have of your own life as the indicator of your servitude. Whoever wants to increase such control is evil, whoever wants to decrease it is either using you or good. I also suggest to do something to increase your own control. Knowing a trade, networking with people not over ideology but over basic needs. Getting informed or typing here must not be the only avenue of rebellion, because unorganized grassroot protest never accomplished anything by itself. Always a tool in the hands of organized guys. For instance, do you really think that all those French revolution phrygian caps were the idea of the poor oppressed illiterate masses?
