Remember how the people removed Ferdinand Marcos? it was a non violent revolution


a bit more serious: what way do you suggest? as under our current system, we dont have freedom, we have political nonsense and we sure as hell dont live in a democracy.

We have freedom but we do not have the willing to help each other and together fight for what we want.
We cannot even have the will to fight together or support the people of Tecoma in Victoria with they fight with McDonald's
We do not care for the other ones we put it as simple as "it is not our problem"
The day that we change our attitude and are capable to even win a struggle with a corporation that will be the day that we will be ready to stop political nonsense.

I would argue that Jordan is also rather stable and they are having to cope with hundreds of thousands if not millions of refugees from Iraq and Syria.

As I said, to many people there are more important things out there, looking after the family, studying or working in a job or getting out in the bush.

We do not have compulsory shopping in Australia where the Government tells you where and when you can shop or eat.

And protests in Israel, but both Jordan and Israel could be considered stable.
