The nice thing is that when you're mad enough, you worry less about the repercussions of your outrage. I doubt that most of the people fighting in the American Revolution were overly worried about their vacations as they fought for their freedom. Things likely got worse for them at first, but the drive to rebuild the country in the right way probably let them work toward that goal without lamenting too much about their lost security from England's established institutions.

People are indeed more reliant on their bread and circuses now than they were then, and there's also the bigger issue of how we've been pacified by decades of rhetoric stating "violence is always bad," so it will take some work to galvanize people. I do think that anger is continuing to rise, though, and there's no sign of the source of that anger slowing down anytime soon, so I think it will get to a boiling point eventually. My goal is just to encourage the revolution to start sooner rather than later so that the world doesn't fall apart even more before we start fighting to repair it.
