Everyone thinks any change is good change. I say this with my straight white male privilege (as I pass as)… do you like your retail delivery? Your job assuming you’re not breaking bricks? Your creature comfort? Your family’s safety, old and young. Ask people in Ukraine how fun civil unrest and war are in a modern Western community just like yours. I wanted that when I was 15. Now I have empathy that the countrymen and women for whom I want justice, are not cannon fodder for overly academic jerk off fantasies about socialist revolution.
My point was the way of life for someone used to 2020s creature comfort in Western liberal metropolises. Nothing to do with the polisci behind why the experience is happening. And a civil war would be even worse which I thought was implicit but apologies I’d it wasnt
