Nobody is rebelling. Nobody. Not LIBRULS, not readicals, communists, anarchists, not even fucking nazis, which are just vice-signalling their limp dicks waiting for the result of not even fucking complaining at all. Definitely not OP, who just posts this shit and probably feels smug.
Do you want a revolution? Start it. Do something revolutionary. Risk being put it jail or being killed, which is what happens in revolutions. Or shut the fuck up, because even voting is doing more than nothing.
The only person doing something revolutionary in liberal countries in recent years is Luigi. And he has the balls to admit that he did it. Beyond that, any other protest has been much closer to voting than to an uprising.
Weeks and decades and all that.
Just going to your local DSA meeting is risking jail at this point or worse.
"Revolutions" aren't really started by people on the ground, it's a response to ruling class oppression. All you can really do is organize and hope for the best.
Still, the organization is not in itself (currently) a revolutionary action. Necessary and a step forward, but we still have to recognize that no action at this point is anything beyond preparation.

Adventurism is not revolution.
Nothing happening right now is revolution.
As if you'd know: one post ago you thought Luigi's adventurism was revolutionary.
Right now, currently. Not a year ago. And if a one man's action cannot be considered revolutionary, much less whatever OP thinks they are doing. Or you for all that matters.
The point was that you clearly don't know anything about revolutions
Revolution has never happened
You might be the only one ever to think that.
No it's true, no revolution has ever happened and everyone who ever thought they did one was wrong. Nobody is a revolutionary and there is no hope of ever becoming one, leaving us with no path but to do nothing and contribute only hopeless navel gazing. I am a very serious communist.
Strikes have given you basically every working right you currently have, if that's what doing nothing then I don't know what to say.
A strike currently is not revolutionary. And still not happening widely anyways.
Striking is the bread and butter of revolutionary activity. The February revolution in Russia was a mass strike that escalated to a point the state could no longer control it. What do you think revolutionary activity looks like?
You are right, people are striking less now than they used to which is a major reason why things are getting worse: cost of living increasing, wages stagnating, the rich getting richer etc.
We need to unite as workers and strike, not vote, for the conditions we deserve.
Of course it is. And that's what I am pointing at. Any improvements happening right now due to organizing and striking are limited to specific industries and don't ripple outside of it. For it to be revolutionary, it must be as you say massive, encompassing several/all industries and beyond control. We are so far from that situation, that I cannot accept current moves as revolutionary. Good and necessary, don't get me wrong, but not revolutionary.
Popular support is needed for a revolution to happen. But striking even on a smaller scale is steel still a very effective way at gaining larger action from the population.
Earlier you said risking being thrown in jail was something revolutionaries should do. What do you mean by that and why would it be more effective than going on strike?
who told you we aren't?
you are the ones who keep complaining when our action inconveniences you in the slightest.
Dude, if your action is an inconvenience, it is not revolutionary.
if my action changes nothing, how do you expect it to change anything??
I don't.
it shows. it'd be better for everyone if you just got out of the way.
Why, because I don't expect an action that changes nothing to change anything? You might want to re-read everything.
actions that change stuff will invariably inconvenience you by definition.
And if the only thing it does is inconvenience, it will never change stuff meaningfully.
why would anyone want to protest for inconvenience's sake?
No idea.
