How many hexbears think there will actually be a popular revolution in the West in our time?

Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?
By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.

What reason would westerns have to revolt? It doesn’t matter how miserable they are, they’ll accept it as long as they can get their next day shipping and tropical fruits in the winter. And when that ends due to climate change, they’ll just kill everyone then themselves like a spoiled brat.
I think many people think of “revolution” the same way liberals think of “democracy.” They’re not inherently good. They’re simply tools. A revolution may happen, but it won’t be socialist. Based on the historic and current reactions of the west when they’re confronted with their crimes, greed, hatred, and arrogance, I would easily bet that it’ll become (more) fascist.
There are no fascist "revolutions", only counter revolutions.
