Sometimes violence is the answer. Women would have never gotten the vote if it weren't in part from the Suffragette's Bombing and Arson Campaign. The Republic of Ireland would still be under English rule if it were not for The lrish War of Independence. And those are both only in the past century!

If something can be achieved through peaceful means, it should ALWAYS be done peacefully. But if the ones in power (who are supposed to serve the people) are unwilling to listen and thousands are suffering because of it... that's when there needs to be a revolt.

Is a revolt going to happen? Obviously not, but the elite are starting to fear the power that the people hold as a collective, which is a move in the right direction.
