He raises an important point. Financially, its not worth it to rebel. Who will pay the bills? I can't have nice things if I am poor and struggling.

We are simply too comfortable to rebel, even though we know that something should be done.

We put too much faith into politicians that keep promising to solve this or that issue. And then, when their term ends and they didn't change anything we are not even surprised that nothing changed for the better.

I can't rebel by myself. I can't afford to rebel.
