Stop romanticizing 'Revolution'

Post Body

People die in revolutions and most of the time the price for regime change is paid in blood and most of the time it is the blood of the innocent or those who can be deemed collateral.

Revolutions are very dangerous, it's a 50-50 coin toss with a slim chance of bringing lasting prosperity to the state.

The French Revolution which birthed liberalism suffered under a militaristic dictatorship soon after. The Arab Spring escalated into violence as the Syrian war developed and migrated to other places namely Iraq and the surrounding periphery, which is now the root cause of mass migrations and war.

By no means am I saying that revolutions shouldn't happen good things can happen from revolutions such as the 1776 US revolution or the EDSA revolution and so forth. But stop romanticizing it and yearning for it, people die in revolutions, it's not fun.
