huge misconception. used to be true, until surveillance tech came along. overthrows never came from progressive people, who believe in peaceful ways, it came from the lowest people in society who no longer have anything to lose. overthrowing is an act of desperation, the last thing people will do, only when the situation is no longer bearable.

Regardless of surveillance tech a coup or putsch [1] is not [always] executed by the "lowest people" in society.
