The calls for revolution are tiresome. I've yet to see anyone willing or capable of leading such an effort who actually understand what it entails, much less anyone with the vision for what comes after. 30 guys on a mountain ain't gonna cut it. There are still options on the table besides "vote harder". The hard work might not be fun but it's a heck of a lot more pleasant than what a violent revolution would entail. It may still come to that at some point, but anyone eager for a revolution doesn't understand what it involves.

Not even "what it entails" (by which I assume you mean what the results would be, as results of the revolution are almost always bad), but even "how to do it".

30 guys on a mountain is how the Reconquista started.
The Reconquista was not conducted against a highly militarized modern state. Hell, I think even the Russian Revolution would not be applicable.
Still a better plan than vote harder.
How does "a several hundred year long campaign" translate to "a violent revolution"?
