Then what's the difference between now and back then?
The state's gotten better at propaganda
Or maybe things just aren't as bad for people in first world countries and that's why we still see revolutions happening in third world countries?
It's not as if governments don't get violently overthrown anymore, it just happens in places where most people really are suffering a lot more than most people in Europe or North America are. My life isn't perfect, but I look at the lives of people in Venezuela or Bangladesh and there's no comparison to be made and I'm sure even poor people feel the same way in most first world countries.
