    Frankly yes, the responsibilities of today far outnumber those of centuries past.

I'm curious why you would think so.

    This is a muffled, silent torture where a bar of demand is set but a mere fraction of the resources necessary to reach that standard is available.

And yet the discontent is there. From my reading of history, it's my impression that focus for such discontent can arise quickly, usually due to a few missteps of those in power coincident with a catalyst or rallying point for the oppressed. People seem powerless until they don't, and that change can happen very fast.
