While I understand where you’re coming from, do keep in mind that the same people that can afford to keep chugging along on the same path with only the bottom line in their crosshairs also have enough influence to make sure that once violence starts it gets promptly redirected. And masses of upset people aren’t really coherent enough to keep a single goal in mind.
Hell, if you’ve ever tried to get 12 hungry people to eat lunch at the same time and decide on a place to get it from, you’ll shortly understand what the phrase ‘herding cats’ means. Add to that a random 13th person that just pops up, whose neighbour owns the new lunch place on the corner and just ‘offers other options’ and you can quickly see how getting lunch becomes an exercise in futility.
And if smoke, mirrors and redirection don’t work, civil violence is used as a pretext to intervene with force against protestors.
I honestly don’t believe another French revolution is capable of happening again, ever.
The answer could be voting with your wallet, but remember the ‘no preorders’ crowds? See my point about herding cats.
