The Mediterranean is full of dead bodies from asylum seekers, but people still bath there.
People will not bathe in a pool, if that pool has a single cadaver in it.
Some might say that it doesn’t count because you can’t see the bodies in the Mediterranean, but you can in the pool.
but even if the pool has an angle and the corpse obscured behind said angle, people won’t swim in it if they are told this in advance.
so clearly there must be some ratio of dead people to water that society sees as acceptable.
so to answer your question, yes, and we haven’t reached that point yet, and the right is doing it’s best to keep that bar as high as possible.
Usually hunger … if you look through history, change doesn’t happen in societies because people are poor, abused, imprisoned, impoverished or have a lack of luxuries … change often happens when people go hungry because at that point they all realize that if they have no food, they will die … and when they can see death, especially their own death, they no longer have anything to lose and will fight for some kind of change …
And even that want for change is dangerous because it can come in many forms … good change, bad change, fascist change, socialist change, democratic change, authoritarian change.
Some number of people are getting maimed, wounded, or killed. Do people have a threshold number at which point they decide it’s too much?
I like to explain it as such:

I like this explanation too, actually
Never expected to see this joke used in such a way
