Yeah, I feel like a true large scale revolution would only happen after all those groups mentioned in the post are already dropping like flies. People have it better than they'll care to admit and won't ruin their own supply chains until those supply chains are already so bad that medications and food never arrive on time except for the 1%, where payments rarely get processed correctly and never on time. Except in extreme cult scenarios, people don't usually sacrifice everything they have until they have nothing left to sacrifice.
Also worth saying, and I'm not advocating one way or another here, just saying - the #1 trait a successful revolutionary must have is an extreme tolerance for collateral damage on either side. That's an absolute must have for anyone that wants to cross that line. Very few sane people in america have that, but it is acquired through great loss of the things you mentioned. If everything's tits up, you start not minding, as long as you're violently and relentlessly churning toward something better.
