hate to say it but there are both good and bad people on both sides

those talented at a political movement know when to use whom, btw.

Why would you hate to say something that is true?

well when i saw the rather uanimous comment below i got a bit nervous and chose this phrase to sound perhaps a bit more unbiased and stuff. idk.

I see now. Yeah, people are too quick to hate only one side when both are obviously evil and implicitly engaged in criminal activity.

this is quite dangerous trend, eric hoffer has this book called true believer describing this. i mean, revolution is really the costliest way to achieve one's political goals but blunt disagreement to the other side without any kinda tolerance to a more centrist view is driving society towards revolution. i would go so far to say that biden does a lot of right things in that regards of keeping that kinda pressure low but i think there are still very fundamental issues to the solved. oh well that's my two cents what do i know.

I have no qualms with a revolution, if it is a new and improved version of a revolution, one not seen by man before.

there are a few revolutions that were good throughout history you know, like the british one or the chinese one that got rid of the emperor. but there are too few of them and afaik the british one was really the only one that has a positive and lasting benefit. and then there are independence wars and uprisings, america, india, etc. but in that case the enemy is a foreign one not a domestic one. in other words you do not have to live with them once the thing is over. so if you were to trade social change by investing in revolution per say, it's not a very good investment when you look at the historic data. or else you're looking for a different word.

I don't really see what you are trying to say. Should we not desire to revolt against these parasites and build a healthy future for ourselves?

This is a good question. If we are successful, it will look a bit different for each willing member.
