When writing your interplanetary insurgency, remember that revolutions don't happen when people are happy. Revolutions happen when the status quo stops working and desperate people go hungry. Once the status quo stops, one lone person comes into view and says, "You have been wronged. Join me, and we'll make it right together." Desperate people become radicalized when one lone voice unites them against a failing status quo.#trending #trendingvideo #podcast #scifi #trend #podcasts #writing #worldbuilding

In 2002, Joss Whedon released his cult classic Firefly. It examined what it was like to be on the losing side of a civil war. As someone who grew up around the descendants of the losing side of the American Civil War, I could relate.
