\\\"This isn\\\'t necessarily an unrealistic trope, as rebellions and revolutions never happen for no reason at all. They\\\'re usually the expression of real, preexisting problems and grievances, often founded on economic inequality.\\\"

This wording implies that all revolutions are justified, or that their reasons for fighting are always real.
Some revolutions are started because of irrational fears ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Guinea-Bissau_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat The Guinea-Bissau Coup]] was caused by the nation\\\'s military fearing that the freely elected president would let Angolan troops into their country), bigotry ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glorious_Revolution The Revolution of 1688]] was caused by an irrational fear King James, due to him being a Catholic and wanting to end anti-Catholic discrimination), or impatence ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Revolution The October Revolution]] happened seven months after the February Revolution, because they thought the provisional government\\\'s changes were not coming fast enough).

I recommend changing it to something more neutral, like this:

\\\"This isn\\\'t necessarily an unrealistic trope, as rebellions and revolutions rarely happen for no reason at all. They\\\'re usually the expression of real (or at least perceived) problems and grievances, often preexisting ones founded in economic inequality.\\\"
