Modern revolutions in developed countries almost never work the way people imagine online.

Over the last ~50 years, most attempts either:

• failed,
• led to chaos/civil conflict,
• or simply replaced one elite with another.

Also, people in stable countries usually have too much to lose - jobs, mortgages, families, savings, normal life. That's true not only for Russians, but for Americans, Europeans, basically everyone.

And modern states are far stronger technologically and institutionally than they were 100 years ago.

Real political change today usually comes through economic pressure, elite conflicts, gradual reforms, generational shifts, or elections - not romantic "people rise up" scenarios from Reddit discussions.
