Revolutionize me.

Another day, another uprising. Some crazy people down somewhere like Burma, thinking they could really make a difference by shouting slogans and marching along peacefully. Even crazier folks back here, who think this actually might have worked. Some of them even called it the Saffron Revolution in the spirit of the coloured revolutions

Firstly there is no such thing as a coloured revolution. The only one that actually can be classified as such was the one in Ukraine. Others are forcefully made to fit the mold. Well yeah, it has all been about the students demanding democracy more freedom and whatever else that comes into mind but since when haven't civil insurgencies been like that. The other common factor is that they all were financed by Mr Soros and the USA. Did I burst your bubble?

Secondly even if there actually were those things called spontaneous demonstrations of will, every authoritarian government on this god-forsaken planet should by now be well prepared to deal with them. It might work once or even twice but then reality catches up. The position of an ongoing colour revolution is basically jinxed. Since Ukraine, there has been not a single non-violent colour revolution, which has not been squashed by the authorities.

I strongly support all kinds of pro-freedom movement but calling every damned riot a miracle and a fabulous revolution is silly if nothing worse.
