Fun fact: in the Revolutionary War, only about 1/3 of the American colonists actually revolted, as such. 15 to 20 percent of the colonists remained loyal to the Crown, and half (or more) tried to stay out of the whole business.

I suspect, as an historian, that most if not all revolutions follow this pattern: a minority of activists and hotheads on either side, and in the middle, the majority who just wish people would quit shooting up their homes and businesses and go the fuck away. Chairman Mao made this point explicitly: that the revolutionaries must make the majority take sides, either by forcibly recruiting them, or by implicating them in acts of anti-government violence so that they would face reprisals and have no choice but to join the partisans.

Let's put it this way: if there were a Revolution tomorrow, I'll bet most of us wouldn't like it either.
