“The revolution will be livestreamed” is not used correctly and not what “will be televised” means. You are using it in the opposite manner actually.

Op made an evocative point but then immediately betrayed it.

It is interesting to think about the difference of livestreaming versus television.

You can stop fighting. Nobody's going to livestream anything. The truth it too important to risk making it known/visible by accident.

And what's the truth?

We'll find out decades later. Or never.

The Vietnam War was the first one to be "televised" on pretty much a daily basis.

While more average US citizens and service members recognized the folly in greater numbers through time because of it.

It was the somewhat more extreme faction of the anti-war crowd that would have been in favor of a revolution of some kind, mainly because Nixon needed to be toppled ASAP without a doubt, they were just the most disruptive when it comes to "whatever it takes."

That's why the old saying was coined, "The revolution will not be televised."

No, my friends, the revolution will be live.

Exactly what they were talking about if it comes to that, too bold, sensible, and popular to be spun by media any other way.
