Covid, big as it was, did not have the scale to actually trigger a revolution I don't think. I don't mean to dismiss the scale of suffering and death. But I think an event on the scale necessary to trigger a revolution would probably have to directly imperil and permanently, drastically change the lives of upwards of 25% of fighting-age people.
