What do you think that means for advanced highly developed 1st world nations with the extent of digital surveillance and centralized grids?

Like, how does everyone actually get off their phones and mobillize? Is French Revolution actually possible again?

Not until vast portions of the global economy fail and the residents of the 1st world start feeling the hunger and hardships the 3rd world has been feeling for a long time

In a lot of cases revolutions get started by one thing: hunger. People will mostly be to scared to lose what they have, even if it’s little, but hungry (real hunger, not just “I’m hungry, let’s eat”) people won’t care, because they have nothing to lose.
