I used to be puzzled when folks would read of a fictional unjust government and call it "unrealistic" if the characters weren't rising up en masse to oust the horrid rulers. Then I realized such folks were either very young, or very short-sighted--traits that make sudden revolution sound more exciting than terrifying.
