Let's tank the government by hiking gas prices!

Honestly, these kinds of ideas aren't exactly groundbreaking given the political and social mess we're living in right now. It's just the predictable fallout from a cocktail of neoliberal capitalism, anarchy, and Bolshevism.
The only way out, if you ask me, is through nationalism. We need a nationalist government, economic nationalism, and some actual liberalism.
A country where the leadership doesn't have to deal with the immediate frustration of its citizens—where they get met with nothing but hostility for even the slightest bit of effort—is a country that simply cannot function. You end up with a ruling class whose only priority is staying in power, while the opposition spends all its energy undermining the state and blaming everything on whoever happens to be in charge.
They cling to power specifically to avoid making any changes or progress that might shake up their voter base.
The whole system is broken, and frankly, it’s not just on the politicians; the entire public bears some responsibility too. But hey, it is what it is.
If we ever want to actually move forward, we'll need a total structural overhaul. But if we tried to start that process from the ground up with the people, it would just get shut down at the ballot box. Well, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
No pain, no gain.
