Political leaders serve themselves, as anyone who pays attention can see.
And the unelected members of the deep state despise the elected officials. Openly, now.
Me, Iâm all for DIY. I will on occasion condescend to let the guy at the 7 make me coffee, however.
And I havenât yet gone so far as to grow my own coffee beans.

Platitude, no specific examples

âBut letâs get real. Protests never solved anything.â
Hm, 18th century protest in Europe did not change anything?

A bit before my time. To the best of my knowledge, protests changed nothing and violence changed lots of things, but didnât change them for the better necessarily.
When people combine the two, it confuses the issues of causality. A riot is violence first and protest second. Its effectiveness, if itâs effective at all, is entirely due to the violence.
Depends. If those in authority are baked by state security forces, they can usually hang on.
And if theyâre not, theyâll fall to a coup - with or without protests.
Beware the Ides of March.
You need to do some more reading. Velvet Revolution - non-violent protests turned a communist regime into two independent democratic countries.
Are you talking about that time when Reagan winning Cold War I led to the commie regimes in Czechoslovakia and elsewhere imploding?
Calling something a revolution doesnât make it a revolution. The Soviet empire was on life support and Reagan pulled the plug. Thatâs what happened.
