| Jul 7, 2020 at 11:43 | comment | added | komodosp | @analystic - I would have though it obvious - scarce resources, poverty and starvation lead to an unhappy populace. The people in charge feel forced to make decisions that enforce severe austerity on the people, deny them access to things they feel entitled to, force them to work in conditions of almost slavery (which the rulers feel is necessary) while not being properly rewarded or even fed - all pleas for mercy even when too sick to work are ignored. Then if anyone tries to resist or complain, law enforcement come down on them like a ton of bricks. Why is this insufficient for a revolt? | |

I think it's super-important to this question that we're not talking about a nice situation, here.

In the former, was the response viewed as disproportionate in some sense? And what was the reason for the latter? Was the employee unable to assess their own ability to work? Was their work so valuable that you failed to offer a convincing personal incentive? Did you simply make a mistake? I can't see that this example is in any sense useful in motivating a rebellion. | |
| May 6, 2018 at 12:40 | comment | added | analystic | Insufficient information. Why would scarcity cause the rebellion? This implies that the economics of the situation were inadequately explained, such that the rebels felt they were failing to achieve their fair share of some resource. Moreover, the rebels apparently feel that their practical chances of ever doing so are sufficiently low that the whole system needs to be overthrown. Why would scarcity cause such an issue? | |
