A color revolution is performed so that the ones they choose take over.
Eventually people have to stop acting like a battle against tyranny when it goes raw is any more complex than "win".
There are consequences to any battle, but you'll never get anything done if you are intimidated into complacency and grudging acceptance.
No one ever has answers for "what comes after" immediately after the battle has been won.
Even in our own fight to claim our independence, ratification and an agreement took a damn long time to achieve. People fought each other and disagreed constantly.
That evil could happen is only tangentially relevant when evil is happening.
Color revolutions "work" because the people involved are participating in back alley, under table machinations to start a conflict that ends with them in power. When they are already in power, the dynamic changes.
If good men do nothing because they're scared of something becoming worse, we wouldn't have had the United States to begin with.
This isn't even a call to action either. It's clear that what is happening in Brazil is not on the up and up, just like the 6th wasn't. A new "QAnon Shaman" proves that completely, to me at least.
Are you kidding me?
