    The media is absolutely not selling revolution, are you high on crack?

      The “revolution” is basically the left wing version of the rapture.

        You may need to study history. Revolutions happen in the real world. And they’re not always left-wing (cf the American revolution, which was not motivated by left-wing ideals).

        Some succeed (French revolution), some fail (Paris commune). And history also happens after those revolutions.

        They are truly different things. Revolutions are very real and not the end of history as we know it.

          Also, not all revolutions are violent. Ask the Czechs and Slovaks. As far as I know, they aren’t living under a worse tyranny.

          The meaning of my statement is basically that the online leftists talk about the “revolution” like Christians talk about the rapture. An apocalyptic event that will fix everything that’s wrong with the world and create utopia. In consequence, both groups talk about their chosen apocalyptic event without actually doing anything to improve the world. Of course its not all Christians and leftists, just the bottom of the barrel of the respective groups.
