| "a) revolution to uncover and dissolve the control networks that have been covertly put in place, or
b) sedition - leaving the state, and not contributing (taxes) to its continued economic development." Many have enough power to leverage a) or b), but very few choose to do so. Why? Because if you somehow manage to disolve the current status quo, you'd need to rebuild a similar status quo, probably with your group deeply plugged into the newest surveillance / society control system. > ultimatelly you would probably have accomplished very few changes, though you could obtain more power / money, but If you're capable / resourceful enough to make happen a) or b), you probably already have lots of power / money. Therefore, the current status quo works quite well for you, and there are easier ways to change some things (not all of them though), than going right to a revolution. That's something you can see in most empires through history: very few were intentionally brough down by internal players. Most players just wanted to get in charge (by any means), but they were not fundamentally changing anything in the current social order. Going against the state was (and it is), almost certainly not the best path of action. |
