    Absolutely! That kind of thinking of “I have nothing to lose” is pretty dangerous on politics. You still have a truckload more to lose. Mostly in matter of rights mostly but imagine being in worse dystopias the oligarchy would love to put you on just to squeeze an extra penny from you or better yet read about it in history books.
    The worst part is that it takes decades to fix the damage done, soon you realize there is no bottom to touch to think “you can only go up” there is only the moment you guys realize “enough is enough”.

      That kind if abstract thinking isn’t in that person’s wheelhouse. They’re focused on their next meal, which bill to pay (or partially pay), and if that pain is worth the time/money lost going to urgent care. They aren’t thinking about the long term effects or side effects of political arguments.
