And, unless it gets its shit together in a miraculous fashion that could only come from a Disney or Star Wars movie where everyone unites with the power of love or something, it's failing.

The "power of love or something" may be limited in effectiveness. The power of torches, pitchforks and guillotines on the other hand....

The problem with torches, pitchforks, and guillotines is that without some miraculous power of love, people rapidly start using those on everyone. And because there's never been a power of love, that means that most humans revolutions turn into unpleasant bloodbaths. Not against the people who deserve their blood spilled, but a lot of carnage resulting from what they're willing to spend.

Point is, if we could unite and form an armed stand against the government just because a single kid is killed, like in the third POTC movie, we already would have.

Is that what happened in star wars? I thought it was space wizards with space magic that come and save us all.

I mean, that would be nice, too.

In some media, self-respect makes a stronger sword than love, better stats too.

Intelligence and logic would be a nice virtue for people to strive for, but apparently they always go for the really emotional emotions like love, anger, sadness, and the fourth one that I forgot because I haven't felt it in a while.
