ELI5: Why are western countries not rioting and revolting against their governments, but middle eastern countries are?
gpt
The biggest reason is the difference in the quality of life. Sure your rights are being infringed upon, but are you actually going to do anything about it? No. Your life is too comfortable. You would probably rather watch some TV or hang out with friends than take to the streets, risking your life in a riot. It's only when the quality of life is so bad that people feel they have nothing to lose in risking their lives by revolting against their respective governments.
