Rapid revolutions worldwide can be trouble for any one who has a resource to call their own. Imagine, you own just a pair of shoes. The person who has no shoes can take it away from you when there is a revolution. While some level of revolution around the world can be good, it can hurt if there are too many instances of it in short period.
Looks the world is trying to get to 'democracy' as the only mode of governance. While I like the freedom that democracy brings, we should not forget that it was the United States of America having a very mature democracy decided to use the Weapons of Mass Destruction against innocent civilian of another country. How long would it take to forget the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Japan in 1945 as part of the second world war.
We need diversity and it is very healthy. While I am a supporter of Open Source in Software, I dislike GPL becoming a monopoly. Similarly, while democracy can arguably be the best form of government, having other forms will ensure democracy evolves for the good - rather than staying a monopoly.
Wondering if the people in the world are getting in-tolerant towards others ways of life.
