They have said the plan all over Europe is to do rolling blackouts on businesses during the winter as that would be enough for people to stay warm, but then what when the packaging plants for frozen goods are shut down, toilet paper factories etc? People will be firing up diesel and petrol generators, because it is worth it, this will cause a shortage in gas and an increase in transport costs.
People thought the shortages during the pandemic were bad? People are going to go hungry this time.
The People don't revolt. As long as a regime is strong, starving the masses makes them more compliant, such as in the holodomor. Change requires a weak regime that questions its own legitimacy and a competent replacement elite that feels the right to rule.
Arab Spring was pushed by the GAE. (liberal Western elites) I don't know anything about Sri Lanka but I bet they have an opposition party or underground media that was encouraging the protests, and their government was on shaky footing.
Foreign powers instigating regime change is not the people organically rising up because they were disgruntled by material conditions, which is a silly Marxist myth.
A competent regime, as the west had since WW2 until recently, can assimilate most potential elites into its ranks, which was the point of the university system, or ruthlessly crush them in infancy, as what happened to the various militia groups in the 80s and 90s.
About staying warm - In Poland shutting down schools due to cold has been elevated to a law bill and they added option to go into remote schooling after 2 days of shutdown. It is supposed to be an emergency provision and not a way to save money by local government. It's supposed to be verified later, but we all know they will first check on opposition-controller local govs.
You can trust that the servers for all kinds of news and social media will NEVER go down, because they will certainly need the propaganda to calm the population.

There won't be any change until they do.

There's always a replacement elite lurking in the shadows, waiting for a critical mass of foot soldiers for their revolution.

Sys Admins are probably shitting their pants, trying to find backup generators and line up fuel.
Plus there's a lot of industrial equipment that doesn't deal well with power being suddenly cut.
This is going to be fun to watch. From a great distance.

From a well stocked cabin. With ammo.
