How many hexbears think there will actually be a popular revolution in the West in our time? (hexbear.net)

Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?

By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.

I think it will. I might be a crusty old man when it happens but the combination of liberalism failing compounded by a climate change they are wholly unequipped to address will create the preconditions necessary to kick off a revolution within my lifetime. It must or we all die because of their unbridled arrogance.

Always the bourgeoisie will decide how bloody it will be. If they voluntarily hand over power I am content to Puyi their asses. This is ideal. If not? Well, they chose this. I'll not cry about what needs to be done.
