This is the big question, isn't it? Revolution is a potential. People think of it as a second civil war, but I think what could happen is much more like the French Revolution.
I'd like to believe that we could fix things without a revolution, but I think technocratic or incremental change is going to be too slow. There will need to be big structural changes before anything can really be calmed. I want these to happen by ballot box, I am a pacifist after all. I just fear that won't be possible and there is a growing contingent of populist extremists out there feeling the same.
