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.

The notes app on my phone

Edit: Well, "revolution in one year" was written in the notes app on my phone, the thing about my home region declaring independence was written in LibreOffice on my laptop. The point in any case is that these things are kind of embarrassing to share, and in the case of the story about my home region, maybe a bit too revealing of where I live, too.
